Firsty first first

Cheers,

Well 1+1+1=3

Tongue

So sue me.

Cheers,

name a new chief executive, and take other actions aimed at shoring up its operations

That has to sting the ego a bit...

Ouch!

...........

I give them 2 weeks at the most...so long DSL we hardly knew you

crispy,

I thought it was Book 'em Dano.

Cheers,

The bank has $13.4 billion of assets

Not for long...

Doesn't look like it's FDIC Friday for Downey. Yet.

Kneel_before_Zod,

"The bank has $13.4 billion of assets"

That's just book value. Actual market value may vary...a lot.

Cheers,

So, they aren't going down today - we are left with WM, CORS or BKUNA

-K

Anyone else think that we are going to see the RTC rise from the dead like Thriller to take care of the new thrift deaths?

Hmmm, what will that be, another 10%-15% of FDIC balance available?

Some smart dood in the previous thread was askin' 'bout pizza volume in Newport Beach (Downey HQ).

Hmmm, what will that be, another 10%-15% of FDIC balance available?

That budget is going to look like the initial vs. final cost of the Big Dig in Boston.

That 90 billion or what ever it is, is a joke...

(of course I'd bet most here believe that)

.............

The FDIC is workin' up to WaMu. Downey is the preseason tuneup game.

Well I hope their star bankers dont get injured in the preseason...

That would really screw up my fantasy team....

................

ades,

A whole new fantasy league - Fantasy Sleazy Bankster League - aka Bank Failure Football?

Yes sir,

The bigger the blunder the more points...

I got HP and have been dominant this season...

Wink

.........

In my bank regulation fantasy league, I drafted Wayne Leiss with the 9th overall selection. Good pick?

Office of Thrift Supervision - We're Sorry...

The biggest question is why bother with these petty regulatory actions?

Nobody is going to bail out this piece of crap bank.

All they are doing is kicking off the run on deposits.

Stupid.

someday this war's gonna end...

First round draft pick = Killenger

"Looks grim for Downey."

Looks Grim Reaper to me. But I'm an optomist...no wait it's that other one...pessimist.

Cheers,

Why do we need a high res photo of Wayne?

Maybe we should have an offense and defense team. Offense would be the s-bags on wall street and defense would be the fdic boys and girls....

.........

Allen

It's amazing how these folks are conditioned to keep trying to kick the can down the road.

Pretty soon, it'll be someone else's watch.

And, yes, one of the wars will end.

As for the other, just ask the Brits.

I'll take Darrel W. Dochow, he's gotta have quick feet to Supervise the west, what with WaMu, Wells, Downey, Indy...the list goes on.

Cheers,

oooh good D pick Misean

yeah, offense and defense

then there is the kid who gets picked last - OK its YOUR turn to take Sheila, Misean!

energy,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Where's that gun? Time for my dirt nap.

Cheers,

Hey take it easy man - left off the JK tag - whew!

Anon, nope, but pretty funny.

Arizona, not belgium.

Have wife and kid too.

Only big rebellious thing is participating here and some light trading.

My job title does include economist, though.

Someday this war's gonna end...

energy,

Phew! Good thing I forgot to take off The Super Colander Tin Foil Hat.

Close one.

Cheers,

I'll take John Stumpf (Wells Fargo CEO).

Anyone taking Vikram Pandit — CEO Citibank? Wink

Got Popcorn?
Neil

Neil,

Fine, I'll take Lloyd C. Blankfein for QB. With Hanky running the officials, I can just cheat.

Goldman Sachs | About Us - Board of Directors

Cheers,

Lets see, how shall this work...

We pick offense and defense
Offense - CEO, CFO, Treasurer slots?
Defense - a regulator from FDIC, OTS and ...?

Scoring
Offense - each time they say "well capitalized", issue equity or...?
Defense - each regulatory action

Bonus points
FDIC takeover
Merger with stronger bank
CEO canned (or any officer?)

You get the idea - anyone have other suggestions?

Awesome strategic move Misean - you are ready to run with the big dogs!

Well I think FDIC take over is a safety.

I think merger is a defense interception for a touchdown.

CEO canned...is an injury, so you get a replacement.

"Offense - each time they say "well capitalized", issue equity or...?"

Well cap=Extra point
Rumor of buyout/buy in= 2 point attempt
Issuing debt/preffered=Field goal
Issuing Common/equity dilution=touchdown.

"Defense - each regulatory action"

A miracle...so therefore a successful Hail Mary for the TD.

Cheers,

Looks like Sheila is not going to give us a failure this weekend

OTS might just as well issued a 'cease and desist existing' order, since either kind is likely to have the same effect.

Isn't Downey a stool, err.. fabric softener?

JimPortlandOR,

Fabric. You're thinking of Dulcolax.

Cheers,

Well it looks grim for lots of banks. Those with Texas ratios over 40 are in a dubious condition and those with ratios over 100 are almost certainly goners if they don't recapitalize. The FDIC is simply stalling, I suspect, because it hasn't the money to move to close most of these. Hopes they can muddle through, which they probably cannot.

More justification for FDIC to open a consolidated office in CA with Irvine the likely site. It's in development. FDIC staff are exhausted and stuck away from home out on the front lines. One reports working 14 hrs without lunch or breaks during the recent Atlanta closing with no let up in sight for years to come.

Looks grimer for FDIC.

C&D: Downey S&L Assoc, F.A.
"IV. Real Estate Owned Disposition Plan
A. Within forty-five (45) days, the Board shall adopt and submit for OTS review and non-objection a written, comprehensive Real Estate Owned Disposition Plan (REO Plan) that will promote the effective management and prompt disposition of Real Estate Owned by the Association. At a minimum, the REO Plan shall include:
(1) Specific Board strategies with goals and objectives for effectively managing and reducing the Association’s REO;
(2) A risk analysis by vintage of loan origination, aging, and real estate concentration by geography; and
(3) A comprehensive analysis of the Association’s internal operations, staffing requirements, information systems, and policies and procedures, including those related to valuation, in order to determine their adequacy.
B. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the OTS’s notice of objection, if any, to any aspect of the REO Plan, the Association shall submit a revised REO Plan to the OTS addressing any such objections of the OTS. Once the REO Plan is submitted pursuant to this Order and all objections from the OTS, if any, have been satisfactorily resolved, the Association may not amend, suspend, or revoke the REO Plan without the prior written non-objection of the OTS. Immediately upon receipt of the OTS’s non-objection to the REO Plan, or in the event no written objection is raised by the Regional Director during the forty-five (45) day notice period, the Association shall implement the REO Plan and ensure that all directors, officers, and employees adhere to it.
C. Management shall prepare quarterly variance reports on the Association’s compliance with the REO Plan within thirty (30) days after the close of the December 31, 2008 calendar quarter, and each calendar quarter thereafter. Such variance reports shall detail actual operating results versus projected results and shall include detailed explanations of any material deviations with a description of the specific corrective actions or measures that have been implemented or are proposed to address the material deviation. The Board shall review each variance report, and shall discuss Management’s and the Association’s compliance with the approved REO Plan. The Board’s review of the variance reports and evaluation of Management and the Association’s compliance with the material elements of the REO Plan shall be thoroughly documented in the Board meeting minutes.
D. The Board shall provide the OTS with a copy of Management’s quarterly variance report and the Board meeting minutes detailing the Board’s review of the variance reports, including the identification of any corrective actions adopted by the Board, and the Board’s evaluation and assessment of Management and the Association’s compliance with the REO Plan within ten (10) days after the date of the Board meeting at which the Board’s review was conducted."
