Banking scandal saga exposes Coleman and bank directors
Attorney Nay argued that Coleman’s thefts went unseen as directors admitted they never checked the books, relying on a flawed bylaw control. He cited seven years without audits, ledger manipulations, and a $243,951 shrinkage in three years, with Dresser’s account and others showing excess balances that masked losses. Nay blamed directors for lax oversight and misapplied procedures, while outlining Coleman’s rise from teller to bookkeeper and his access to the money box.
