Pulled money out of the ATM late last night. No problem and no mention on the ATM or on-line about the takeover.
Pretty sure we all expected this, but on a Thursday!?!
Karl Denninger had a video up questioning whether or not the Fed would try to force WAMU under this weekend in order to spur politicians into action (see capeman’s “Fed forcing big bank down this week” thread — “Look!! WAMU is going under because you’re not moving fast enough on the taxpayer giveaway to Wall Street!!! Hurry fast, don’t ask any more questions!!”
IMHO, he could very well be right, and the choice of a Thursday makes it look even more sinister because they want Congres to act before the weekend. (re-adjusting tin-foil hat now)
