Washington Mutual (WaMu) was the largest savings and loan company in the country. It was seized by the government in September 2008 and sold to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) for a piddling $1.9 billion dollars.
Now the company wants to investigate discussions between JPMorgan Chase, regulators,competitors and rating agencies it said led to the seizure of Washington Mutual according to a filing in bankruptcy court.
It alleges misconduct on the part of Morgan by "disclosing confidential information" in violation of the confidentially agreement to government regulators, rating agencies, media and investors in an effort to harm WAMU by driving down WAMU's credit rating and stock price.
