Whatever methodology the regulators are using in their bank reviews, it is disastrously flawed.

One outfit not on  the list was Georgian Bank, the second-largest Atlanta-based bank, which  supposedly had plenty of capital.
<P>It failed last week.
</p> <P>Georgian's clean-up will be unusually  costly. The book value of Georgian's assets was $2 billion as of July 24, about  the same as the bank's deposit liabilities, according to a Federal Deposit  Insurance Corp. press release. The FDIC estimates the collapse will cost its  insurance fund $892 million, or 45 percent of the bank's assets. That  percentage was almost double the average for this year's 95 U.S. bank failures,  and it was the highest among the 10 largest ones.</P></BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B0BD97C9-3416-41AC-9CD9-37DC21A7C1E4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
