Clusterstock is reporting that John Paulson is in no talks whatsoever to orchestrate a merger between CIT (NYSE: CIT) and IndyMac, citing a source close to the situation.
The source also said that as Indymac is a failed institution, it is controlled by the FDIC and as such, no talks can be going on without its approval. "It's pure nonsense."
