A pedestrian walks in front of the BankUnited headquarters in Coral Gables, Florida May 21, 2009. U.S. bank regulators on Thursday closed troubled lender BankUnited Financial Corp, Florida's largest bank, and sold its banking operations to a private equity consortium that includes WL Ross & Co. BankUnited, which had $12.8 billion in assets and $8.6 billion in retail deposits, is the biggest of 34 U.S. banks to fail so far this year. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp said it estimates BankUnited's failure will cost its insurance fund $4.9 billion. REUTERS/Carlos Barria (UNITED STATES BUSINESS POLITICS) - GM1E55M0MI401
