So now that I can do the research and find out who's closed, would you like to know who's staying open?

Remember this is just me talking (Writing) out loud:
Bank of America
Chase
Wells Fargo
Citibank / Citigroup
Goldman Sachs (international/National Banking and Asset management)


Beyond those, nothing shocks me. Even B of A has had major exposure issues.
