Bank investor Gerald J. Ford is placing a new bet on the industry that made him a billionaire. Ford, who built his private equity business by purchasing faltering lenders during the savings and loan crisis, said last week he will inject $500 million into Pacific Capital Bancorp for 91 percent of the troubled California lender.rnFord, 65, has something of a golden touch when it comes to turning around distressed banks. In 1998 he and a group of investors bought California's Golden State Bancorp and turned it into the second-largest savings and loan in the U.S. It fetched about $5.3 billion when he sold it to Citigroup in 2002. Ford walked away with more than 20 million Citigroup shares, which climbed 38 percent the next year to a value of more than $1 billion.
