Back in business: IndyMac reopens Monday - CNN.com

Back in business: IndyMac reopens Monday after being taken over by feds- CNN.com: "Customers who found locked doors and armed guards Friday afternoon could use ATM cards over the weekend to get to their money, but an estimated 5 percent of the $19 billion deposited in the bank was not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Indymac's failure, which the FDIC chairman said could add up to be the most expensive U.S. bank failure ever, came as the FDIC's list of 'problem' institutions is on the rise. The FDIC disclosed last month that it was closely watching 90 financial institutions on its 'problem list,' up from 76 in the first quarter of 2008. The total assets of 'problem' institutions rose from $22.2 billion to $26.3 billion, the FDIC said."
-----------------
Hey, let's have a look at that "problem" list. What? "The FDIC does not publish a list of trouble banks out of concern it could spur a bank run, which is what the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) said happened to Indymac in recent weeks."

Oh. I guess the next few months should be exciting for the banking industry.
