The settlement is based on 10,000 appraisals for WaMu in 2006 and 2007, and related communications with employees. Emails show a pattern of favoritism that created a "proven appraiser list" for Washington Mutual.
One email produced during trial stated: "The appraisal list that eAppraiseIT ... is using has been totally scrubbed. But instead of keeping good appraisers, they went for the BADddd ones."
