Giannoulias' Broadway Bank to fail this afternoon?

The ninety day deadline for Broadway Bank to recapitalize expires Monday.

Do you know anyone who has a spare $85 million?

The bank is owned by the family of Alexi Giannoulias, the Illinois Democratic nominee for the US Senate. Although he loaned money to felons, Giannoulias touted his experience as a loan officer there in his successful election to state treasurer in 2006. But the "Boy Banker" mismanaged a college savings program, costing Illinois parents $70 million.

Friday afternoons are typically when federal grim reapers close failing banks.

UPDATE 10:00am: Tom Mannis of Chicago News Bench informs me that WLS-AM's Cisco Cotto is broadcasting outside the West Side of Chicago branch of Broadway.
