Custer County Wins Suit Over Bank Assets in Thum Case
The Idaho Supreme Court decision affirms that public money deposited in a bank becomes a trust fund and cannot be part of bank assets. Custer, Fremont and Bingham counties sued GC Bunting & Co. to recover 12,241, with the receiver ordered to pay the trust funds to the counties and each side to bear its own costs. The ruling rejects estoppel claims based on dividends accepted by the county treasurers.
