Colonial BancGroup, the holding company for the now-defunct Alabama bank, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, listing assets of just $45 million against debts of $380 million. Up until recently the bank - sold 10 days ago by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to BB&T - was the nation's largest warehouse lender to nonbank mortgage lenders. Its largest unsecured creditor is the Bank of New York Trust Co., which is owed $254 million. The debt is related to the issuance of subordinated notes. A Florida affiliate of the bank is owed an additional $104 million.
