To hell with that.

The first thing that should happen from this is every last dime of whatever they have

including the board of directors

should be taken to pay off the depositors who lost money with Silver State Bank.

People who had over $100,000 in the bank at that company and lost money, should be put ahead of all other creditors. Period.

And the idiots on Author's Hangout who said these people deserved to lose their money should be tracked down and forced to chip in, too. Even if it means foreclosing on their fucking houses and putting them in indentured servitude right alongside those board of directors until the shit's paid off.

HENDERSON-BASED BUSINESS: Silver State Bancorp files for bankruptcy

Bank holding company's filings show losses in 2006 and 2007

By JOHN G. EDWARDS
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Silver State Bancorp, the Henderson-based holding company for failed Silver State Bank, filed for bankruptcy Tuesday, showing $24.6 million in assets and $69.9 million in unsecured liabilities.

The bank had $1.7 billion in deposits when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Financial Institutions Division closed Silver State in early September.



The filing reports that Silver State recorded $223.6 million in net losses in November but more intriguing are disclosures that the holding company lost $3.4 million in 2007 and lost $1.6 million in 2006.

Silver State, which had shares traded on the Nasdaq National Market, previously reported it was profiting in 2006 and 2007.

The holding company reported net income of $22.5 million in 2006 and $28.2 million in 2007.

A call for comments from the bank's former accountants wasn't returned Tuesday.

Assets include a directors and an officers' policy from Progressive Casualty Insurance, which has an unknown value.

A $239,000 income tax refund is held by the FDIC. The holding company also claims a $24.3 million net operating loss tax refund claim, but that is subject to "dispute by FDIC," according to the filing.

There are no secured claims against the holding company.

Several entities that appear to hold bonds from Silver State account for most of the unsecured debts.

The biggest unsecured claim totals $30.9 million in bond principal that LaSalle Bank of Chicago holds for Silver State Capital Trust VI. Wilmington Trust Co. is trustee for other entities with similar names but different Roman numerals.

Keefe Bruyette & Woods, a New York investment banking firm, has claims of $93,000 for legal services. Kolesar & Leatham, a Las Vegas law firm, is owed $10,000. RSM McGladrey/McGladrey & Pullen is owed $20,000 for accounting services.

The holding company has an unexpired lease with American Nevada Co. for space at 170 S. Green Valley Parkway.

Board Chairman Philip Peckman declined comment Tuesday. Attorneys for Silver State didn't return calls for comment Tuesday.

It's time we brought back the debtors prison for these people. Bank holding company or not, you're still responsible when your BANK loses people's money.

And I will post further comment whenever I god damned well please. Got that, you fucking idiot?

Hell, I'm not even interested in your opinion. I posted what I feel should be done about this. Really. I'm not asking anyone's opinion here. You're not qualified to give an opinion about this issue.
