Outcome
Inaccurate
Inferred window: about four years (to end-2014). The FDIC list shows about 157 failures in all of 2010, 92 in 2011, 51 in 2012, 24 in 2013 and 18 in 2014, so roughly 225 or fewer failures after September 2010, well short of about 400. The FDIC problem-bank list shrank mostly through recoveries and mergers rather than failures.
