BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Federal regulators have recently reached out to several banks to gauge their interest in buying struggling Washington Mutual Inc. (WM), the New York Post reported Wednesday. Federal banking regulators have contacted Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM), HSBC (HBC) and other firms, according to the article. However, merger talks haven't been initiated between WaMu -- the nation's largest thrift -- and any other firm, the Post reported.
