Lawyer denies story linking Ettelson to bank failure
A San Leandro lawyer disputs a Wall Street Journal report that Leonard B. Ettelson influenced the 1960s failure of First State Bank of Northern California. Bank owners and FDIC counsel say most Ettelson loans were secured by real estate and the bank will not incur a large loss. Ettelson, who died last December at 76, had owed First State about 600000, with 60000 unsecured, two secured by raw land. An attorney for former bank owners says Ettelson was a fine gentleman and denies any wrongdoing.
