Silverton Bank had approximately 1,400 client banks in 44 states, and operated six regional offices.
...
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund will be $1.3 billion. Silverton Bank is the 30th bank to fail in the nation this year and the sixth in Georgia.

Keep in mind, their "assets"
Keep in mind, their "assets" are effectively Accounts Receivable (as Loans) and the reason they're in receivorship is due to the "quality" of loans, based on their performance. Missing here is the "Reserve" number, which as a ratio would indicate the leverage of actual
reserves on-hand to outstanding loans. Just an FYI;-)
