Federal regulators are racing to seize and sell First Republic Bank as soon as this weekend, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News. A takeover of the embattled regional bank would be part of a broader effort by the federal government to stem the banking crisis initiated by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank last month. One option is for the FDIC to take control of First Republic Bank, then quickly sell its assets to another private bank. Or, if no deal with a private bank is reached, the FDIC might need to take full ownership of First Republic itself. In that second scenario, it's unclear whether the FDIC would make all uninsured deposits whole, as it did with SVB and Signature Bank. Officials at the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve would likely need to sign off on a plan to cover First Republic's uninsured deposits ...
