Schumer caused the panic. Predictable antiAmerican democrat "invested in defeat".

IndyMac Seized by U.S. Regulators; Schumer Blamed for Failure

By Ari Levy and David Mildenberg

July 12 (Bloomberg) -- IndyMac Bancorp Inc. became the second- biggest federally insured financial company to be seized by U.S. regulators after a run by depositors left the California mortgage lender short on cash.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. will run a successor institution, IndyMac Federal Bank FSB, starting next week, the Office of Thrift Supervision said in an e-mail yesterday. The regulator blamed U.S. Senator Charles Schumer for creating a ``liquidity crisis'' after a letter on June 26, in which he expressed concern that the bank may fail.

Schumers was a small part of the problem. Now tell me why that is.

The bank is failing due to a run on the bank. It is very unlikely it would out and out fail from bad loans. Lose profitability for a few years maybe. At any rate it may take months even years to fail from bad loans. OIC is directly laying the blame on Schumer. But he doesn't care, just another problem to lay at Bush's doorstep.
