I just posted the news of the PFF Bancorp acquisition, but I was on vacation when the last chapters of PFF Bancorp were played out.
Here's part of what the Claremont Insider said on June 9:
PFF Bancorp (NYSE: PFB) was back in the news Friday. The Daily Bulletin's business reporter Matt Wrye had a brief article noting that PFF Bancorp was looking to generate $460 million. The Rancho Cucamonga-based banking company had to ask for an extension on a $44 million overdue loan at the end of May and is looking to pay that off.
Matthew Wrye said:
