The GDP of Puerto Rico is $76B, about 21% the size of Greece's GDP ($356B). On Friday, the FDIC shut down 3 banks in Puerto Rico with deposits of $14.8B, or nearly 20% of Puerto Rico's GDP. Combined, these 3 banks were $5.3B in the red.
This feels much closer to home, doesn't it? For more information on all of Friday's bank closures (which were quite serious), see Jim Sinclair's Mineset.
