And on Colonial Bank from The Birmingham News: Alabama State Banking Board meets; can't say if Colonial Bank a topic

A meeting of the Alabama State Banking Board that was to be held Wednesday regarding the future of Montgomery-based Colonial BancGroup has been canceled.

The board met on Monday, said Elizabeth Bressler, general counsel for the Alabama State Banking Department. Under Alabama law, she said she could not comment on what happened at that meeting or whether it involved Colonial.

Guaranty, with over $14 billion in assets, will probably not be the largest bank to fail for very long. Colonial had over $26 billion in assets according to their most recent filing.

Corus only has about $7.6 billion in assets.
