If I had to guess, I’d say Wachovia.

Wachovia is in the running, to be sure, but I think I’d be looking at HSBC first. They have a far larger credit risk based on their derivative and swap holdings.

Yep. My money is on Wachovia. Their disasterously timed acquisitions of Golden West Financial for 25 billion in 2006 and A.G. Edwards for 6.8 billion in 2007 left them massively under capitalized to handle the mortgage meltdown.
They are in big trouble.
