The bank is cash rich... it would have been a good fit for HFCK...

Since Equity purchased the retail loans from them... I have a sneaky feeling... Equity or HFCK will buy/merge the bank in exchange for shares!!!

It will give Equity the Shareholders equity it needs to continue growing its balance sheet!
