WaMu deal in trouble?

From the Seattle Times, bad news about the WaMu settlement. Too early to predict the fallout.

Washington Mutual Inc., former parent of the biggest U.S. bank to fail, missed the deadline for approval of its bankruptcy plan, making a related, $10 billion settlement subject to cancellation, a company lawyer said.

The missed deadline means the parties involved in the settlement, JPMorgan Chase and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., have the option to cancel the agreement, said Brian Rosen, a WaMu attorney.
