(LA Times) — For former insiders at some of the several hundred banks that collapsed during the financial crisis and in its aftermath, a day of reckoning has arrived.

The federal agency is seeking damages to help offset losses in the nation’s deposit insurance fund. It’s time, the FDIC warns these officials, to sit down and work out settlements — or head to court to decide the matters there.
