Maverick Bank Matters in Grand Jury Session

The U S district grand jury convened yesterday and will report today. DA Allen says cases against Maverick National Bank directors won’t be presented this term, possibly delaying any statements this year. Total bank receiver deposits amount to 2.694 million dollars for creditors, with 95,000 added Saturday. If liabilities to depositors stay under eight million, a first dividend near eighty percent may be possible, though Washington will likely limit multiple payments due to mail duties.
