After several weeks of no post-6 p.m. Friday news releases from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the silence ended with a bang.
On this most recent Friday, the FDIC said it had closed not one, but two banks. That means the number of bank failures this year is up to 15, and there are nearly three months left in the year.
Fortunately, none of the most recent bank failures were in Kansas. One was in Illinois. The other was in Michigan.
There’s certainly something to be said of the saying: “Silence is golden.”
