History: Washington
Mutual Savings Bank, commonly known as WaMu, was a Seattle-based financial
institution and the largest savings and loan association in U.S. history. On September
25, 2008 it was seized by the Office of Thrift Supervision in the largest bank
failure in U.S. history. While depositors were completely safe, the financial
collapse completely wiped out WaMu's investors, shareholders and equity holders
as they saw their stock value crash to zero and lost their entire investment, suffering
massive losses.
