Zeev, why are you warning us about possible actions of a hedge fund? It seems Castle Creek is a "private equity investment firm". This is how they describe themselves. "Castle Creek Capital LLC, is the general partner of Castle Creek Capital Partners Fund I, LP. Since its formation in 1995, Castle Creek has developed into a highly successful private equity investment firm. Having successfully initiated the investment in nine financial service companies, Castle Creek was described in a recent publication as "the action" in California bank acquisitions. Castle Creek also has the distinction of being registered as a bank holding company with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This provides Castle Creek with the lexibility to work actively with Portfolio Companies on the realization of their strategic objectives while simultaneously providing third party oversight of Castle Creek's business practices."

Zeev: The reason I'm sure CC reduced it's leverage is because they were at risk of forfeiting their opportunity to participate in this endeavor. THAT SIMPLE!! Your opinions are and please excuse the phrase "wild ass speculations". It seems your ego may have been affected by this news (remember your death spiral scenario) and you seem to be more in the business of casting doubt and baffling the thread with bullshit rather than a genuine interest in the stock. You are off base here partner and don't realize how far you are out in left field with your conjecture. I'm sure you are wrong, but if you are confident let us know when you take your short position. Merry Christmas...
