IndyMac Bankcorp Failed - Seized

I believe this happened after markets closed.

I'm also hearing the Senate passed mortgage bill today has a "long way to go". Nero fiddles while Rome burns.

Feds Seize IndyMac:

IndyMac Bancorp Inc. became the second-biggest federally insured financial company to be seized by U.S. regulators after a run by depositors left the California mortgage lender short on cash.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. will run a successor institution, IndyMac Federal Bank, starting next week, the Office of Thrift Supervision said in an e-mailed statement today. Customers will have access to funds this weekend via automated teller machines. Regulators intend to eventually sell the company.
