Wittig bank fraud trial opens over $1.5 million loan
Former Westar Energy chief David Wittig faces a federal bank fraud trial over a $1.5 million loan to Topeka banker Clinton Weidner II. Prosecutors say the loan helped Weidner expand Wittig's line of credit, while defense argues Wittig had no obligation to report and did not know Weidner hid it from Capital City Bank. Both men face seven felony counts including conspiracy, money laundering, and forfeiture pursuit of the loan plus Arizona real estate.
