Iowa City Bank Receivership Probes Spring Action
Attorney General Floyd Philbrick filed two petitions in Johnson county district court against former examiner Benis Summerwill, seeking payment related to a $16,082.43 claim and to reopen the Farmers Loan and Trust receivership in Iowa City. The cases accuse Summerwill of improper actions, including a three fifths interest in an Iowa City apartment building, as auditors continue a broad review of four local closed banks.
