When Zaccaro sought a buyer for her interest in this building, he went to Lerman. They decided a fair market price was $325,000, nearly twice what Lerman and Ferraro had paid for the property five months earlier. (This value estimate was not unreasonable, it turned out, since the building was resold two years later for $375,000.) If they sold the building for $325,000 and paid off the $124,605 mortgage, Ferraro and Lerman would get roughly $200,000. Lerman agreed to pay Ferraro $100,000 in cash for her share. In purchasing her interest, Lerman took over...

If the deal is concluded, it will be the first nationalization of a major bank in U.S. history...
Once the run had been stopped, the FDIC tried to find a private buyer for Continental, but it had no takers. Such interested parties as Citicorp, First Chicago and the wealthy Bass family of Fort Worth all considered the deal and decided that Continental had more problems than they could handle. Since no one else was willing to step forward, the FDIC seemed to face no alternative but to take over the bank. Last week Continental and the FDIC still hoped that some private group might step forward, but they were fast losing all optimism about that possibility...
