Description

Explore the detailed history of the First National Bank of Keystone in West Virginia. This account tracks the rapid rise of a small institution that grew from USD100 million to over USD1.1 billion in assets through the buying and securitizing of subprime mortgages across the country. For three years, the bank was recognized as the most profitable large community bank in the nation, but this success was built on a foundation of deception. This book examines how bank insiders hid massive losses from securitization deals by cooking the books. Beyond financial manipulation, the narrative reveals how millions of dollars were embezzled from the bank, all while keeping these illegal activities hidden from the bank's own attorney. It serves as a historical look at the events that acted as a harbinger for the 2008 financial crisis, providing a deep dive into the mechanics of corporate fraud and the failure of a major community bank.
