WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today appointed
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ( FDIC) as receiver for Community
National Bank of Sarasota County, Venice, Florida. As of June 30, 2009, the
bank had approximately $92 million of total assets.
The OCC acted after finding that the bank had experienced substantial
dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe and unsound practices. The OCC
also found that the bank incurred losses that depleted its capital, and there
is no reasonable prospect that the bank will become adequately capitalized
without Federal assistance.
The FDIC will release information about the resolution of the bank.
