The story recounts the sorry conduct of the bank regulator with regard to two small banks, one the $1.1 billion in assets savings & loan First Financial Northwest, the second Cardinal Bankshares, which has a mere $250 million in assets. Both are under supervision of the Fed, neither bank is doing well (First Financial is under "special supervision" as a result of having lost over $90 million in recent years), yet in both cases, true to an apparent long-standing practice, the Fed is siding with the management that is responsible for the banks being in bad shape over activist investors who look to be urging sound measures.
