It's Bank Failure Friday!!!! (I Smell a Felony Indictment Edition)

Something odd on the FDIC failed bank page, do you notice it?


Do you see it? Public Savings Bank, of Huntingdon Valley, PA was closed yesterday, a Thursday.

The only other time I remember the FDIC closing a bank on a not-Friday, it was when senior bank executives were facing a criminal indictment as well.

That's my guess anyway.  These non-Friday closings tend to be associated with breaking news of some sort of criminality.

In any case, here are the bank failures, ordered, and numbered for the year so far.
  1. Public Savings Bank, Huntingdon Valley, PA

  2. Lydian Private Bank, Palm Beach, FL

  3. First Southern National Bank, Statesboro, GA

  4. First Choice Bank, Geneva, IL

Full FDIC list

So, here is the graph pr0n with last years numbers for comparison (FDIC only):
