WaMu, UBS, HBOS and the rest

WaMu - looking unusually ugly even by mortgage lender standards, and possibly facing a bank run, Bloomberg says? WaMu denies it.

UBS - sued by Andrew Cuomo for fraudulent sales of auction rate securities. It's not been a good few months for UBS. It keeps losing money(through its own fault, it admits), it's already being sued in Massachusetts, and then there's the tax evasion thing.

And there's speculation about JP Morgan leading a breakup of HBOS. That last via Yves Smith, who also rounds up the latest total writedown estimates.
