What caused the demise of Washington Mutual?

Starting in August 2007, Washington Mutual was unable to resell mortgages due to the disapperance of the secondary market for mortgage backed securities. This along with the housing decline which kept Washington Mutual from selling new mortgages and therefore making money, helped speed up the downfall of the company. The final straw, so to speak, for the company was when Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy. This made a lot of Wasington Mutual's depositors panicky, causing them to withdraw $16.7 billion from various checking and savings accounts. This caused the company to be declared as not having enough money to conduct daily business by the FDIC. Soon after being taken over by the FDIC, Washington Mutual was bought out by J.P. Morgan.

How does Walmart handle employee theft?

they have someone who works in their loss prevention department meet with the employee(s) about the theft. They usually also have between 2-3 managers present to verify they met with the employee(s ) read them their rights etc. Afterwards they have to sign discharge papers that state their employment will be terminated and they can't work for the company or any company owned by it again. For example, they can't work for walmart or sam's club every again. They may not follow up exactly like how I explained it, but I think it's very similar. I work at ann Taylor loft as an assistant manager and that's how we handle employee theft.
