Tonight’s bank failures: $14.5 billion combined assets
Wow....huge night....$14.5 billion in combined assets from tonight's failures. The biggest fish is First Fed, with $6.1 billion of assets. First Fed was the last of the big option ARM lenders. Seems like FDIC wants to get a lot off its plate before the holidays...

A rare payout transaction. Actually the sixth so far this year. I spoke to FDIC's Greg Hernandez who gave me some interesting particulars on this bank regarding why it couldn't find a buyer.

Bank failure Friday, Bair on TBTF at Buttonwood
At Buttonwood, Sheila Bair noted that the DIF's balance, its net worth, is now negative. They have $20 billion+ of cash on hand, but much is accounted for by the fund's contingent loss reserve, which is to say the money is spoken for based on failures already in the pipeline.
The plan to accelerate assessments on banks is an accounting gimmick that protects their earnings and capital. That said, it's good news FDIC will be raising more cash, $45 billion is the estimate.
