New Century Financial to shutdown home lending unit
New Century Financial is shutting down it's home lending unit (which it was shopping around for sale. Surprisingly no one seemed to think that jumping into the sub prime market was a good idea right now). The firings will take place tomorrow. This is on top of the 3,200 already let go. This means that New Century Financial will let go 70% of it's work force.

New Century Recieves C&D
Well you heard here first but now it's official, Irvine based New Century has received a Cease and Deist order from the State of California and Fannie Mae will stop buying their loans.
It's apparent that the chicanery over at New Century has gone well beyond simply foreclosures on the sub prime market.
"The filing also said the company has received cease-and-desist orders from California. The state alleges that New Century illegally failed to fund mortgage loans after closing."
Someone is going to jail.
