During the financial downturn two years ago the firm formally known as JGW Holdco LLC and two of its subsidiaries, J.G. Wentworth LLC and J.G. Wentworth Inc., entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the company encountered liquidity problems in the midst of a tightening credit market. They laid off 120 of its 200 employees and closed its office in Las Vegas. But less than six months later they got a 100 million dollar investment and they were able to get rehire and rebuild again.
Between 1997 and 2009, several significant historical events occurred, including the 1998 financial crisis in Asia, which severely impacted economies across the region. In 2001, the September 11 attacks in the United States led to a global shift in security policies and the initiation of the War on Terror. The 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S.-led forces sparked widespread debate over international relations and military intervention. Additionally, the global financial crisis of 2008 resulted in severe economic downturns and widespread unemployment, reshaping financial systems worldwide.
From 1995 to 2009, several significant events shaped global history. In 1998, the European Central Bank was established, leading to the introduction of the euro in 2002. The September 11 attacks in 2001 dramatically altered U.S. foreign policy and global security dynamics. The 2008 financial crisis, triggered by the collapse of major financial institutions, led to a worldwide economic downturn and significant government interventions.
Union Acceptance Corporation was taken over by the federal government in 2009 due to financial difficulties and regulatory issues. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was involved in the takeover process, as the company had significant losses and was unable to meet its obligations. This action was part of a broader effort to stabilize financial institutions during the economic crisis.
As of December 31, 2009, approximately $180 billion of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds had been disbursed, with about $32 billion repaid by various financial institutions. The repayments primarily came from large banks that had received TARP funds during the financial crisis. The overall goal of TARP was to stabilize the financial system, and while some funds were repaid, many investments were still outstanding at that time.
In 2009, one of the most significant events was the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, marking him as the first African American to hold the office. This historic moment took place on January 20 and symbolized a major milestone in U.S. history regarding race and politics. Additionally, 2009 was marked by the global financial crisis, which continued to affect economies worldwide, leading to widespread discussions on economic recovery and reform.
