A tattered banker
Crawling along the desert
Deposits ... Cash ... Help!

From the FDIC: Pacific Premier Bank, Costa Mesa, California, Assumes All of the Deposits of Palm Desert National Bank, Palm Desert, California

As of December 31, 2011, Palm Desert National Bank had approximately $125.8 million in total assets and $122.8 million in total deposits. ... The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $20.1 million. ... Palm Desert National Bank is the 22nd FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in California.

That makes five today ... and we haven't seen a California bank fail since last September.
