Default WaMu people: anyone closing their accounts?

I have a feeling WaMu will be closing shop very soon, so I think I will be withdrawing 80% of my checking then starting an account with BofA.

This is the worst thing you can do.

Maybe they will wipe out my credit cards :rick:

No actually this is probably the safest way to go about it.

If WaMu closes down, FDIC I am sure will take more than a couple weeks to send me my moneys.

Cosmo: Posit: People think a bank might be financially shaky.
Martin Bishop: Consequence: People start to withdraw their money.
Cosmo: Result: Pretty soon it is financially shaky.
