This is not encouraging:

The discussions, which began Sunday, have been snagged over the intricacies of carving up the Charlotte, N.C., bank, ranging from deposits to loans to securities. After burrowing deeper into Wachovia's books, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have been surprised by the concentration of assets they regard as low-quality, these people said.

As a result, both banks are worried that buying even part of Wachovia could saddle them with steeper losses than previously expected. [Emph. added]

Great. Just what we all need. . .
