Subject: The most famous mole in the decade - Rotella this buds for you!
So.. as we have all been told over and over again "Washington Mutual's
toxic mortgages were the reason it had liquidity problems"

Okay.. so we may not agree with the statement above..however lets run
with it and say for one second that we want to believe its true.
Imagine (without getting sick that you are a JPM lawyer and that is
your strongest defense). How do you explain the following:

http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stori...

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/bu...

In the link above (2nd one) he actually completely diverts the
question about what brought down WAMU.

"Asked about his role in the mortgage problems that brought WaMu down,
Schneider said, "There will be never-ending discussion around home
lending, and what I'm focused on now is the retail side and making
sure we do the integration well."

So we (JPMC) were able to acquire WMB for the low 1.89 Billion the
FDIC sold it to us for. Now we are aware that we will have to write
off huge loses becuase of the toxic mortgages... and we have a chance
to clear house (dismiss all WMB employees) yet lets bring on David
Schneider.

Link belos is David Schneider's offer letter by WMB in 2005.
http://contracts.onecle.com/wamu/schneid...

Wait... did you notice Steve Rotella signed his offer letter. Isn't
Rotella under the scrutiny of the Texas Action for serving as a
mole????

So... I find it interesting that Rotella COO for WMB was the person
who signed David's offer letter. Does anyone else find this
interesting. Also keep in mind that Rotella left JPM in 2004 for
WAMU.Last I can find on Rotella is his name in the Texas Action.

Rotella was closely linked to Schneider's hiring... Here’s what the
Chief Operating Officer said about David Schneider when he was hired:

“David Schneider has a proven track record of success in leading and
growing a national home lending business, as well as solid experience
with cross selling home loans across a retail banking network and
other distribution channels.”

Ummm Rotella... you want to reword that?
It's alright I guess Killinger said the same... so your not alone.

And here is a link that 'hints' at the irony of Rotella going from JPM
to WMB to being let go by JPM. http://www.businessinsider.com/2008/10/j...

"Ironically, Mr. Rotella had run J.P. Morgan's mortgage business
before he joined WaMu at the end of 2004."

To follow up on that point.. for those of you who are not aware... all
of them came from JPM!

Taj Bindra:
Bindra was executive vice president for home loans finance and
servicing operations at WaMu. He joined the company in late 2004 from
JP Morgan Chase, where WaMu also recruited president and chief
operating officer Stephen Rotella. (Notice the 2004 time frame again)

John Berens:
John Berens 23 years at JP Morgan Chase
Senior Vice President, Loan Servicing (WAMU)
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-13123367...

Youyi Chen: Youyi Chen, Ph.D., leaded the Mortgage Portfolio
Management and Research Group. Under his strong leadership, this group
was be responsible for consumer behavioral research into pricing
sensitivity; prepayment modeling and analysis; and portfolio
management including the management of pricing, risk analytics and
funding strategies. Most recently, he served as a senior vice
president responsible for managing the interest rate risks of JP
Morgan Chase's mortgage servicing rights (MSR) portfolio.

Bill Murray: Bill Murray, a mortgage business veteran, will become
division finance officer of Mortgage Servicing on March 1. In this
role, Murray will be responsible for forecasting, planning, reporting,
risk analytics, communication, and performance management for MSR and
Service Delivery. He will be located in the company's New York City
office. At his former company,JPM; Murray led the MSR valuation,
pricing and reporting functions for the Capital Markets group.

"We're very pleased to have recruited such fine talent to our Home
Loans team, and we're confident we'll soon find a seasoned mortgage
executive to lead this group going forward. In the meantime, I look
forward to working with this team, whom I know very well, to ensure we
sustain the excellent progress that Craig Chapman has made in
transforming our mortgage business," said Rotella."

You don't say Rotella is speaking on the hires. And he knows them very
well...great!

They had a five year plan in place.... seems like they accomplished
their goal early... it only took about 4.5 years to tarnish WAMU's
reputation with mortgages enough for the OTS/FDIC to step in.

Another name to keep in mind is Dale L. George.
"Dale George, a former WaMu senior risk manager who spoke exclusively
to ABC News, explained that risk managers are like the brakes on a
car. WaMu executives "took the brakes off and drove over a cliff," he
said."

George was fired.....
"WaMu denied any wrongdoing and said the firing wasn't retaliatory."

Interesting... I wonder if he was fired by an ex-JPM employee!

Alan Fishman  got paid over $18 million dollars for three weeks of
work. humm… since he failed to do his job as a CEO to secure the
company... should he be compensated $18 millions?

Oh and Stephen Rotella (President and COO) is getting his $12 million
plus package for doing what? Running WaMu into the grounds? This is on
top of his millions in bonuses.
Discovery will find out about the most famous mole in the decade ....

Dimon ... So, Bernard Madoff has been sentenced to life plus a century
and a quarter in federal prison for destroying the lives of thousands
-- tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands -- of innocent men and
women. That's a good thing, and I think we can assume that he won't
enjoy his prison time a great deal. Many friends of mine from the
Nixon days went to prison, and I can tell you that none of them
enjoyed it much (although former Nixon aide Chuck Colson did start a
prison fellowship that has done great work).
But now that Madoff is in prison for good, many questions remain:

1. We now have reports that 10 others could be arrested in connection
with the Madoff scandal, and that is certainly not a surprise. How
could he possibly have juggled thousands of non-existent "trades" each
month by himself? It is like saying that one man assembled all of the
Buicks made in the past 30 years. Madoff had to have received help
from not just one but many men and women. He had a huge trading
operation. What were they trading? The idea that one man did all of
this by himself is infuriatingly preposterous.

Let's see some real resources devoted to getting this case going. It
has just been started and is not anywhere near finished.

2. By the same token, the investment advisors who guided billions into
Madoff's phony accounts have to be held to account. They are required
to behave according to fiduciary standards. That means they have to
put the client's interest ahead of their own, do stringent
investigation, and avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest.
Clearly, in many, many cases, none of these requirements were met.

The idea that Madoff could have generated great returns in every kind
of market year after year should have set off alarm bells in every
advisor's mind. (I can tell you that when some princes of Lehman tried
to get me to invest in Madoff a few years ago and when I looked up his
returns, they smelled fishy to me right through the Internet screen.)
Clearly, only rarely did any advisor see further than the immense
kickback fees Madoff paid.

These people bear serious investigation and punishment.

3. It is quite literally inconceivable that Madoff's wife and family
did not know what he was doing. His brother, Peter ("Thou art Peter,
and on this rock, ‘bro', I will found my scam") was the compliance
officer, for Pete's sake. How could he not know what was going on? The
sons had grown up in the business. How could they not know? The eagle-
eyed wife, who made her first public statement yesterday, was said to
have watched the accounts closely. How could she not have known?

4. This is by far the most important part: The SEC is supposed to be
watching for exactly these kinds of scams. Yet the SEC missed them,
and they even brought in Madoff family members to monitor markets!
That is how much they missed what was going on.

It gets a lot worse. A man named Harry Markopoulis repeatedly warned
the SEC that this was a scam, that results such as what Madoff claimed
were simply not possible. He sent detailed accusations about Madoff to
the SEC. They were completely ignored.

Now, when do the people who ignored these vital communications go on
trial? Madoff at least has the excuse that he wanted to be rich --
and, in a way, while it's a pitiful excuse, it's at least
understandable.

What excuse do the regulators have? Why are they not being tried for
criminal dereliction of duty? When they go on trial, we really will
have a new day in securities law.

And now we come to the most important part (and pardon me for shifting
gears): Now we have a new administration. It is going for a national
energy policy largely formulated and regulated by bureaucrats. We have
seen in Madoff how bureaucrats behave. Do we really trust them to keep
the lights on and the air conditioning going? Do we really believe
they can make 15 percent of our power needs from wind and solar in a
few years? Do we trust a bunch of pointy-headed bureaucrats to guard
the bedrock of our economy -- energy -- to decide who is allowed to
make fuel and who isn't?

I don't, and I am extremely frightened to think that the same people
who allowed Madoff to put across the worst scam in securities history
will be in charge of keeping America's energy pipeline going.

Think about it. Is this what you want?

Interesting TWO MORE WAMUers that BECAME JPMers

    Donna Miller joined JPM from WAMU (AUGUST 28,2009)
Making the link again, one month before JPM acquires WMB... a month in
which "Toxic Mortgages Plagued" WAMU... JPM brings on another 'loans
person' to head up its "Home Lending business’ Emerging Markets and
Affordable Lending (EMA) group" AMAZING!

So the plant is dying because of the gardner...and JPM goes and hires
the gardner to care for its plants?

--------------------------------------------------
"Donna Miller Joins Chase as National Director for its Emerging
Markets and Affordable Lending Group

RISMEDIA, August 28, 2008-Chase, one of the nation’s leading home
lenders, announced that Donna Miller joined the company to lead its
Home Lending business’ Emerging Markets and Affordable Lending (EMA)
group.

According to the company, Miller is responsible for developing
strategies and programs that increase homeownership among minorities,
new immigrants, affordable lending consumers and first-time home
buyers for all of Chase’s home lending channels.

“At Chase, we’re committed to helping people achieve and sustain their
dream of homeownership,” said Pablo Sanchez, home lending senior
executive at Chase. “Donna’s experience, energy and commitment will
help take our efforts to the next level within this valued customer
segment.”

Miller has more than 20 years experience in the financial services
sector and most recently was the first vice president for Washington
Mutual’s Strategic Growth Segments, its EMA equivalent"

Another WAMUer gone JPM!

Washington Mutual spokesman Gary Kishner

http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-...

Hired in 2005 by WMI
Worked up until the seizure with WAMU

No notice of his name anywhere in relation to being hired by JPM!
Seems he has picked up as JPM's Spokesman!

Now...

http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/vie...

From the Istockanalyst website... the following quote was taken from
old WAMU (new JPM) employee; Gary:

""Since there are so many(in reference to branches), they can't make
signs fast enough," Chase spokesman Gary Kishner said. Some branches,
for the short term, will make do with temporary banners, he added."

Ha... "since there are so many, they cant make signs fast enough". I
dont know where to start with this comment.

1. Thank you for pointing out that there are so many branches... 1.9
Billion worth?

2. "can't make signs fast enough"?
6 months and billions of dollars... and you cant figure out a way to
get signs made? sigh...

Just another transition from WAMU to JPM.

WaMu's No. 2 faulted by some for wrong priorities
Washington Mutual's public face was Chairman Kerry Killinger, but some
former insiders say President Stephen Rotella shares the blame for the
company's demise.

By Melissa Allison

Seattle Times business reporter

PREV  of  NEXT

STEVE RINGMAN / THE SEATTLE TIMES

Stephen Rotella, until last month Washington Mutual's president and
chief operating officer, speaks at the annual shareholders meeting in
April 2005. Rotella was hired to fix a company already in trouble.

Stephen Rotella

Job: Former WaMu president and chief operating officer.

Pay: $3.9 million in 2007.

Background: Before coming to WaMu in 2005, Rotella was head of Chase
Home Finance beginning in 2001. He had other jobs at Chase Home
Finance and Chase Manhattan Mortgage back to 1987, before which he
worked in the retail brokerage, mutual fund and systems consulting
industries.
As Washington Mutual's top executive for the past 18 years, Kerry
Killinger publicly received much of the blame when the thrift failed
after huge losses on risky mortgages.

The board ousted him two weeks before the government seized WaMu on
Sept. 25 and sold most of its operations to JPMorgan Chase of New
York.

Yet to hear several high-level former WaMu executives tell it, Stephen
Rotella, the No. 2 man who had worked at the company less than four
years, was more responsible for WaMu's fate than Killinger.

They say Rotella, until last month WaMu's president and chief
operating officer, pushed for more mortgages, including subprime and
other risky loans, and ignored warnings from colleagues who said the
company needed to be more careful in its lending.

"When some of us would say, 'Stop the focus on mortgage lending,' he'd
shoot it down," said one longtime executive who took part in such
conversations.

Others say Rotella is unfairly blamed because he knocked heads and
bruised egos while trying to fix a company that was already broken.

"He was a real manager, and so much tougher than people who had been
there before," said another executive hired before Rotella.

WaMu had always been "fair, caring and human," said a current
executive who asked not to be named. Rotella brought the attributes of
"dynamic and driven" to the mix, "and a lot of people didn't like that
part of it."

Killinger and Rotella declined to comment for this story.

Most of the former executives critical of Rotella were at the Seattle-
based thrift before he arrived in January 2005. Other longtime
executives defend him. They all spoke on condition of anonymity,
citing confidentiality agreements or fear of retribution in a close-
knit industry.

WaMu already had problems when Rotella was hired. Although it was boom
times in the mortgage industry, WaMu's profits and stock had
languished for years because of a litany of issues: customer-service
problems, losses on derivative investments and poorly executed
mortgage acquisitions that left the bank with high operating costs and
disparate computer systems.

Rotella was brought in to fix those problems. Killinger gave up the
title of president but remained chairman and CEO.

Under Rotella, supporters say, WaMu deliberately pulled back on
conventional and subprime mortgages.

Its market share in both categories fell every year Rotella was there,
according to the research firm Inside Mortgage Finance.

Still, Rotella's critics say he was more interested in sales than
caution.

At the end of 2007, more than 56 percent of WaMu's loan portfolio
still consisted of option ARMs, home-equity and subprime loans — all
considered risky categories. Option ARM mortgages — which allow
customers to pay so little that their balance could rise instead of
falling — were being made by the thrift as recently as last spring.

When Rotella arrived after leading JPMorgan's residential-lending
business, WaMu had been making subprime and other risky loans for
years.

Even then, people in its credit-risk department, which controls how
tight or loose lending standards are, thought WaMu's mortgage business
focused too much on driving sales and not enough on limiting risks,
said two former executives.

They had just begun to overhaul that area, adding more controls to the
appraisal process, improving loan underwriting standards and creating
more realistic mortgage pricing. Within weeks of his arrival, Rotella
halted that overhaul."It was abandoned," said one executive. "The part
that was supposed to reverse risk was reversed."

According to yet another longtime executive, Rotella became involved
more than most top bank executives when the mortgage sales staff
complained about applications that were declined.

More than once, Rotella pressured credit officers to reverse their
decisions, this executive said. "Steve Rotella created a culture of
fear."

While Rotella pushed for sales, former executives said, the credit-
risk department that was supposed to balance that impulse was in
disarray.

WaMu had five chief credit officers during the less than four years
Rotella was at the bank.

Insiders who cautioned that WaMu needed to pay more attention to risk
were "looked at as heretics for talking about the need for better
disclosures and concerns about option ARMs" and other high-risk
mortgages, one former executive said.

According to another former executive, Rotella hassled the bank's
internal reviewers, whose job was to make sure WaMu followed its own
policies on lending, deposit accounts and other matters, and to report
problems to top executives and the board.

"Most presidents say thanks for bringing this to my attention, we're
going to fix this fast," he said.

With Rotella, "these people had to have a very thick skin. He would
say, 'You need to be better qualified, you're wrong.' "

There is a natural tension between sales and credit risk at a bank and
"the role of the board and also the CEO is to balance those forces,"
said Bill Longbrake, WaMu's longtime chief financial officer, who
retired from that job in 2002 but continued until Sept. 1 as vice
chairman, though he was not a board member.

He wasn't one of the former executives who spoke anonymously and does
not blame Rotella specifically for WaMu's demise.

"Rotella's background was as a salesperson, and he had a built-in bias
based on that experience not to be very happy about people throwing up
roadblocks to getting additional sales," Longbrake said.

He said he warned executives and the board that the industry's lending
standards had gotten too loose.

"The whole market accepted 'stated income,' and there were quips about
those being liars' loans, but everybody did it. Nobody was paying
attention," Longbrake said. "WaMu's great sin was following the herd
and doing what the rest of the market was doing."

Several former executives say they told Killinger about their issues
with Rotella, but that the CEO's instinct to avoid conflict kept him
from doing anything.

When Killinger heard criticism about his No. 2, "it was always,
'Steve's a good guy,' " said one former executive.

Killinger appeared to trust Rotella to oversee WaMu's daily operations
while he focused on strategy and oversaw "control" functions like risk
management, legal and technology.

People who place more blame on Rotella acknowledge that he reported to
Killinger, who was at WaMu's helm. They blame Killinger mostly for
inaction.

"He should have stepped in and said, 'stop,' but he didn't," said one
former executive.

Now ,if the discovery find out JPM mole (or several) planted at WAMU.

sorry to bring the idea up... but look at aig with their 20:1 split.

if wamu comes back, what's to prevent them from doing the same thing?

Its almost as if companies do this to prevent a massive selloff from
millions of shares,

purchased at sub penny prices.

any thoughts?
