No Joke! We did a little checking and this is correct. I do not care which side of the fence you are on this is not what we are about and not what should be going on! Take a deep calming breath, grab an airsickness bag and press play -

Here is an article about the purchase of IndyMac from the New York Times.

One West Bank finalized the purchase of IndyMac and something smells funny via The Mortgage Insider.

Straight from the horses mouth - The FDIC http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/IndyMac.html

The bottom line via USA Today Via FDIC and written in 2008 on this one "The FDIC has estimated that the failure has cost the agency between $4 billion and $8 billion." Please keep in mind this was written in 2008 before they actually started to pay out. Wonder what the cost really is? 

Right before posting this I searched ActiveRain and found this almost identical post to the video from Robert G Hertzog Is the FDIC killing IndyMac OneWest Bank Short Sales & Loan Modifications? http://activerain.com/blogsview/1243528/is-the-fdic-killing-indymac-onewest-bank-short-sales-loan-modifications-

Back when this video was first circulating there was a response from the FDIC explaining why most of the information in the video is inaccurate or exaggerated. It isn't there anymore (or at least I can't find it now) but when I read it at the time it made sense to me.

Thank you for the comments, I hope you will all share the video, as I believe that we have got to pay attention to this kind of thing.

Julia: This video is a very clear and simple explanation of a much larger problem. It is not the newest one on the block but it is still going on and as banks fail there are more deals being made. The reply you saw from the FDIC was it this video Loss Sharing explained an FDIC production

It made sense to you because losses were not clearly defined by their argument only the simple statement that if there are no losses then they do not have to pay, see below - stated threshold  and generally would be the operative terms.

"On March 26, 2010, the FDIC indicated that it would no longer offer 95 percent loss coverage for losses above a stated threshold, but generally would offer 80 percent reimbursement for all losses, as defined in the LSA, on covered assets. Thus, in some cases, the FDIC may enter into an LSA that provides reimbursement for losses at a percentage other than 80 percent (e.g., 50 percent). These changes do not alter the terms of earlier LSAs that provide for 95 percent loss coverage above a stated threshold." - FDIC Loss-Sharing Agreements: A Primer

The stated threshold is the original loan balance.
