Searching for an Antitrust Beacon in the Bank Merger Fog

After a decade of near irrelevance, the Justice Department has reentered the bank acquisition scene, which had been dominated primarily by the Federal Reserve Board. By bringing a lawsuit (its first in 8 years), the Justice Department secured divestitures in U.S. v. First Hawaiian, Inc. (D. HI. 1991). The Department has also helped force divestiture of branches in the FDIC's sale of the failed Bank of New England to Fleet/Norstar; in the SocietyAmeritrust merger in Ohio; and in the huge consolidation of Bank of America and Security Pacific in several Western states.
