East West Bancorp, Nara Bancorp and Broadway Financial are all receiving capital infusions from the Treasury Department's Troubled Assets Relief Program. The Business Journal reports that East West will get $316 million, Nara $67 million and Broadway $9 million. These are not big numbers, and there is no indication that any of the three are in serious financial trouble - other than being constrained to lend money, the way most banks are these days. One institution not on the list - so far anyway - is Downey Financial, which has warned that it could be seized by regulators if it can't get an infusion of capital by the end of the year. Newport Beach-based Downey is struggling to stay afloat amid lots of defaults.
