    Not good… although I have to say I’ve never heard of these guys before, so I’m not going to worry too much.

    Hardly surprising that a bad-credit bank would go under; I would expect them to be the first casualties of a recession caused by bad-credit lenders.

    I don’t know whether the fact that they were a bad-credit bank meant their own investments were riskier or more conservative. Either way, Adios…
