In re Prosperity Park, LLC, 2011 WL 1878210 (Bankr. W.D.N.C. May 17, 2011)
CASE SNAPSHOT
The Bottom Line:
The FDIC Board approved a final rule on the orderly liquidation process, which was the culmination of a series of rulemaking efforts begun earlier this year. The rule implements several provisions of Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Board previously sought comment on whether to require SLHCs to submit the same reports as bank holding companies.
