Unwritten banking rules warn against speculation
A San Francisco Chronicle editorial condemns bank officers who gamble with depositor funds. It cites the Fidelity National Bank of Cincinnati failure as a cautionary tale where $900,000 appeared only as a pencil memo and a million more was tied to loans via questionable collaterals. The piece argues such conduct harms innocent depositors and shocks the community, urging that money be kept for legitimate business, not gambling.
