§ 1336 Bank Insider Loan Prohibition

This law says bank workers can't make deals where they deposit the bank's money in another company only if that company loans money back to them or their friends at the bank.

Key Takeaways

  • •Bank workers can't use the bank's money to get special loans for themselves or their coworkers.
  • •Even trying to make this kind of deal is against the law.
  • •This is a serious crime (a felony) and can lead to big trouble.

Example

A bank manager tells another company, 'I'll put $100,000 of my bank's money in your company if you loan $50,000 to my friend who works at the bank.'

This is illegal. The manager is breaking the law by making a secret deal to get money for their friend.
