Intent is key to loan recovery; fidelity bonds
Article Abstract:
Receivers in bank failures trying to recover loan losses through the bank's fidelity bonds must be able to prove the bank employee making the loan had the 'manifest intent' that the bank incur a loss. Circumstantial evidence will suffice to prove such intent, but even this type of evidence can be hard to come by. Fidelity insurance is supposed to protect banks from employee dishonesty, not from ordinary losses due to poor business judgment.
