New Century may be shut down in Ohio

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Ohio's attorney general joined officials from other states, barring troubled subprime mortgage lender New Century Financial Corp. from operating in the state.

On Attorney General Marc Danny's request, an Ohio judge late Wednesday issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting New Century (up $0.68 to $1.35, Charts) from soliciting consumers for broker services or mortgage loans, accepting loan applications and fees to process loans, initiating new foreclosures and pursuing pending ones and evicting consumers.

This is a little scaring!!!!!
