12/12/08 Here's the updated list from Mortgage Implode (www.ml-implode).

Sad to think of all of the people that these lenders closings effects...... and what a ripple effect it has (title, appraisers, the paper guy, coffee guy, the restaurant next door, etc).

"Imploded" lenders: The "imploded" status is somewhat subjective and does not necessarily mean operations are ceased permanently: it can mean bankruptcy filing, temporary but open-ended halting of major operations, or a "firesale" acquisition. The Companies include all types (prime, subprime, or a mix of both; retail or wholesale; subsidiaries and entire companies). Note: Companies listed here may still be operating in some capacity; check with them before making assumptions.
