Failed Banks - 2012

By Wendell Cochran

As of Nov. 16, 50 banks have failed and been taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. In most cases, deposits and some of the assets have been transferred to acquiring banks. The acquiring bank assumes the bank's deposits and, usually, some of the assets. In most cases, the FDIC acquires some of the assets -- normally the troubled loans. The FDIC estimates that the failures in 2012 have cost $2.5 billion.
