For this mulcting process the sharpers needed a no-questions-asked bank to act as 1) a depository where loans could be made on the outflowing Lincoln securities, and 2) a reputable vendor of the inflowing "hot" bonds, so that the state insurance department would not be suspicious. With out much trouble, Baiata & friends found a bank for sale in Indianapolis. The dice-playing treasurer swept up an armful of securities from...
