Saxon appointed Greenfield conservator after the old bank assets were bought and the new bank opened in the same quarters on Monday retaining the old bank accounts as its own. The suit seeks to set aside the sale under duress, appoint a receiver, and award damages to stockholders. Lynn Helm, chairman, said investors are assured by the sale of greater returns than liquidation would have offered. The suit does not affect bank operations and names the new bank and its organizers.
