The well known Bank of Chicago, Midwest bank is standing a position to be taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation due to their recent failure to stack the minimum capital to prevent it from failure. It is predicted that Midwest bank is going to be added overnight as the 162nd bank in the FDIC Failed Bank List. There is also rumor that FDIC has already arranged an auction for selling the Midwest Bank Shares among the interested buyers where 10 bids were placed. This news however hasn’t been officially accepted neither it is known who bought Midwest Bank if such an auction took place in real.
Along with 5 main city branches, Midwest bank is widespread in Chicago containing 26 other branch offices. It was running under the only choice of Broadway bank situation that required summing up a certain capital to get help from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a rare but only option that Midwest Bank had left. In try to get out from the situation, Midwest bank already invested in various properties around the country including Chicago, but only resulted an additional loan of $250, 000 to $1 million worth money.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Guard has already allowed the option of deposit of $250, 000 into Midwest Bank but the sum of amount is too less compared to the amount that Midwest Bank needed to prevent it from falling completely. If it fails tonight, May 14, 2010 then it will only add in the list of failing banks in Chicago. Till now twenty one banks near Chicago have failed to continue or has been taken over by Federal Deposit Insurance due to less security, making a total list of 161 banks failure in total since 1st October 2000.
We are watching and will update any confirmed new update on this matter.
