Regulators shut AmTrust Bank in Ohio

Post by Stephen Eisel »

sad (clicky)...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Regulators have shut down big Ohio bank AmTrust Bank. They also closed three banks in Georgia Friday, bringing to 128 the number of U.S. bank failures this year in a climate of economic struggle and deepening loan defaults.

there are many more "prime" mortgage foreclosures than sub-prime.

although the sub-prime has a higher default rate, there are many more prime mortgages.

you will notice many houses near the lake in foreclosure valued above 300,000.00

I guess AmTrust Bank was "swinging for the fences"...what the heck, it's only a financial issue . :roll:
