This site is a resource center for WaMu shareholders (Washington Mutual Inc./ WMI) in the struggle for compensation from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for the seizure and auctioning off of our primary asset, the Washington Mutual Bank, on September 25th 2008. Some of our grievances are that our bank was seized under false pretenses and without due process, or even a full vetting - as there was $4.4 billion dollars of WMI money in accounts that was not even considered. The seizure was done without our management’s knowledge or participation thus depriving us the shareholders of our managements ability to inform, defend or negotiate for us. That the seizure was done to cause us grievous harm, by sabotaging and ruining our own efforts to sell the bank. This was done by informing our most interested buyout customers that the bank would be seized and auctioned off soon, yet before the reason given for the seizure existed. The seizure was timed to deny us of our new CEO Alan Fishman’s experience in merging banks. The seizure was timed to deprive us of any assistance the bailout (EESA 2008) may have provided. That the OTS/FDIC’s actions totally destroyed the value of the stocks and bonds, and that it was all done in bad faith, as the FDIC approached us as wanting to assist in brokering a sale, yet had already privately told our best customers we would be seized and auctioned. Their timing was impeccable towards maximizing damage to us and they instigated large withdrawals from the bank by making statements that they could not and would not pay depositors if WaMu went under. There were approximately 60,000 shareholders and we lost approximately $30 billion dollars.
