Philadelphia Bank Scandal Ties Cashier Suicide to Loans
The sudden death of John Hopkins, cashier of the People’s Bank, is linked to a massive loan scheme. Investigators found Hopkins had secretly loaned bank funds to Richard T. Loper, general manager of the Guarantors’ Finance Co., totaling over 600,000 with securities of little value. The bank closed as investigators assess losses while officials insist creditors may be protected.
