Partner Martin Traber was quoted in a Tampa Bay Business Journal article published on November 26, 2013 titled “USAmeriBank, CenterState, Bank of Tampa, C1 in the M&A sweet spot.” The article discusses a new survey that suggests there could be a major shakeup in the local banking scene in Tampa in the next year. Traber is quoted saying, “I don't think buyers are prepared to pay up to two times book value for a bank today because they are still not sure what the trailing liability [the credit issues] are.”
