La banca que opera en los Estados Unidos ha sido el emblema del «triunfo capitalista de los mercados». Durante décadas, el mundo compró una serie de consignas como prosperidad, buenos negocios y éxitos personales y corporativos gracias a los resultados de estas entidades.
Sin embargo la gran máscara se ha caído y la inevitable crisis financiera ha dejado a la luz una serie de malas administraciones, fraudes y una «casa construida con naipes» que se ha derrumbado con una brisa de escándalos. Durante 2010 y 2011 la cifra ha sido todo un record, transformándose en la cifra más alta.
La información suministrada por la Corporación Federal de Garantía de Depósitos (FDIC) publica a diario un listado completo con todos los bancos estadounidenses que quiebran.
Malas adeministraciones, falta de controles, inversiones poco claras, son sinónimos de la actualidad de la banca estadounidense. Durante el 2011 estos han sido los bancos estadounidenses que quebraron:
