...concluded, "tending to support the view that, but for the correspondent accounts, the loans would not have been made." Heimann noted, however, that such a quid pro quo is not of itself illegal. It must also be shown that the Fulton bank received benefits from Calhoun's interest-free deposit. In this case, Heimann found that Fulton's services to Lance's bank actually cost more than the revenues from the Calhoun money...
...more red tape in a business that they feel already has too much of it. The nation's nearly 14,700 commercial banks and their 250,000 employees are overseen by state or federal agencies-the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-which over the years have issued hundreds of regulations.

Since 1971, the Comptroller has referred 400 cases to the Department of Justice; only a handful have been prosecuted...
...ethical question remains: Can a bank loan officer really judge a personal loan to an officer of a correspondent bank entirely on its own merits? Even if no one ever mentions the fact, the loan officer cannot avoid knowing that the correspondent bank's interest-free deposit can be withdrawn and switched to an other bank at any time...
