United Commercial Bank loses increase
The very late night failure of United Commercial Bank is significant for several reasons. By being bought by Pasadena's East West Bancorp, this becomes the dominant bank for Chinese Americans. It was the 4th largest bank to fail this year.
But the key point is that it was a TARP recipient.
Financial Armageddon good post on CRE

He's pointing to the many experts who cannot believe Geithner is blowing off the 9% default rates going on in CRE as "not a problem".
They mention a resort in AZ having a massive default. I've been to that place and it is super nice, well run. It's shocking they went into default...
