Changes and comments from surferdude808:

The FDIC released its enforcement action activity through February 2014 today as anticipated. In that month, the FDIC was very busy terminating enforcement actions. For the week, there were 14 removals that leave the list at 538 institutions with assets of $174.3 billion. A year ago, the list held 791 institutions with assets of $290.0 billion. During March 2014, the list declined by 28 institutions and $8.0 billion in assets after 23 action terminations, four mergers, and one voluntary liquidation.

Removals included 12 action terminations against the following: Florida Bank, Tampa, FL ($536 million); Foundation Bank, Bellevue, WA ($364 million); First Bank of Dalton, Dalton, GA ($188 million); Proficio Bank, Cottonwood Heights, UT ($169 million); Regal Bank & Trust, Owings Mills, MD ($143 million); Bank of George, Las Vegas, NV ($112 million); RiverBank, Spokane, WA ($103 million); Security State Bank, Iron River, WI ($81 million); Bank of Bozeman, Bozeman, MT ($59 million); OmniBank, Bay Springs, MS ($47 million); Key Community Bank, Inver Grove Heights, MN ($42 million); and Cowboy State Bank, Ranchester, WY ($41 million). Hartford Savings Bank, Hartford, WI ($175 million) exited through a voluntary liquidation and Great Northern Bank, Saint Michael, MN ($71 million) through an unassisted merger.
