Washington Mutual Begins Auction to Sell Itself

[don]

Washington Mutual, the struggling savings and loan, has put itself up for auction, people briefed on the matter said Wednesday.

Goldman Sachs, which Washington Mutual has hired, started the auction several days ago, these people said. Among the potential bidders that Goldman has talked to are Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and HSBC.

How chummy!

Henry, you devil you....

I'll bid $5.73. How do I get in touch with Goldman to pass this on?
