Bank Receivers Sing Loud Allegations Against Oriental Bank
A report to Mr. Jackson accuses the Oriental Bank of a “most amazing state of affairs” with defalcations and jumbled accounts. Directors allegedly funded loans to themselves and relatives, transferred assets, and used foreign drafts to inflate temporary credit, while a network of linked banks complicates the case. The receivers cite specific loans, canceled claims, and misrepresented collateral, with officials defending prior conservatism and pointing to a state examination deeming assets sound.
