JPMorgan settles with FDIC, Deutsche Bank in WaMu case

(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (N:JPM) on Friday said it has settled litigation with the FDIC and Deutsche Bank AG (DE:DBKGn) stemming from its purchase of Washington Mutual Inc's banking operations during the financial crisis.

In a regulatory filing, JPMorgan said it will be paid $645 million in cash from the estate of Washington Mutual Bank, for which the FDIC acts as receiver, and release its claims against the estate.
