Now that the Treasury Department has parceled out most of the $250 billion it plans to invest in U.S. banks, BailoutSleuth will be taking a closer look at which institutions are getting capital injections, and why.
Since we started posting summaries of the banks whose applications for the Treasury Department program were approved, we've been getting tips about certain situations involving some of those companies.
We'd like BailoutSleuth readers to help us further by providing ground-level reports on economic conditions in the markets served by the banks that are receiving public money. If you know of any major business bankruptcies, failed real-estate projects or mass layoffs that could have a bearing on those banks, we'd like to hear about them.
If you know of any unusual or extravagant spending by those institutions, we'd like to hear about that, too.
Please send your tips to chris@sharesleuth.com.
