Pat Wendt, the spokeswoman, said Aegis has not closed any branches. It is unclear whether the company will be able to fund applications currently in its pipeline, she said.

From the Implode-O-Meter site:

Update 2007-08-06, Aegis Wholesale closing: We have received numerous tips this morning regarding Aegis Wholesale closing their doors today. This Broker Outpost thread is detailing the closure as information is coming out. One poster there notes: I just got off the phone with my rep, today is everyones last day, they are handing in keys and security passes. Not funding anything. They were my main A paper lender. Any suggestions on an A paper lender that will weather this, I have to place some loans quick. We have received numerous tips this morning regarding Aegis’ closure. For example, one informant forwarded the following email from an Aegis rep: At this time Aegis has suspended all operations. No further information is available at this time.
