While at the dentist this afternoon, the hygenist was complaining that her Washington Mutual credit/debit card was frozen, and her boyfriend texted her that WaMu got sold.

I don't see any news about it, anyone hear anything?

Five banks have come forward to evaluate Washington Mutual’s financial records as part of an auction process run by WaMu’s adviser, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

WaMu shares rose 14 per cent on Thursday after news it had put itself up for sale. The five banks that have looked through the WaMu materials include JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, HSBC and Banco Santander, the people familiar said. It was unclear whether any of them intended to make an offer for WaMu.
