CNBC's Maria Bartiromo interviewed BOA Ken Lewis in Sept 08 and here is Lewis' startling back of the envelope assessment.
"BARTIROMO: SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE, WHAT, 9,000 BANKS? 9,000 BANKS IN THIS COUNTRY.WHAT WILL YOUR PREDICTION BE AS FAR AS HOW MANY THERE ARE IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS?
LEWIS: GOSH, I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUTTHAT. MAYBE HALF. "
