Riggs National Bank Defends Against Comptroller Attacks
The Riggs National Bank issued a formal statement criticizing Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams. It portrays his examinations as abusive, improper, and aimed at injuring the bank, asserts the bank’s solvency with $1,600,900 capital and $2,000,800 surplus, and accuses the Comptroller of pressuring for irrelevant data and leveraging authority to challenge lawful bank operations.
