...auditing. Over five months, the Gearys say, they spent $130,000 for services, plus $50,000 for "gold-embossed, investment-grade" books signed by Hubbard. Geary contends that Scientologists not only called his bank to increase his credit-card limit but also forged his signature on a $20,000 loan application. "It was insane," he recalls. "I couldn't even get an accounting from them of what I was paying for." At one point, the Gearys claim, Scientologists held Dorothy hostage for two weeks in a mountain cabin, after which she was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown...
...collapse of Denver's Silverado Banking, Savings & Loan Association will cost taxpayers more than $1 billion. Last week a major figure in that disaster, presidential son Neil Bush, was judged to have engaged in "unsafe or unsound practices and breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest."

Dixon was convicted last December on federal charges that he used funds from his Vernon Savings & Loan $2 million to pay for a California beach house and $10,000 for prostitutes for board members. Though Vernon's former chairman, Woody Lemons, had been sentenced to 30 years, U.S. district court Judge A. Joe Fish gave Dixon only five years, pointing out that the jury had not found him responsible for Vernon's $1.3 billion failure. Dixon could be paroled after...
...filed a claim in federal court against the giant Cleveland-based law firm Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue. The RTC seeks more than $50 million in damages, citing Jones Day's alleged "endorsement of and/or acquiescence in" the actions of Charles Keating and his associates at California's Lincoln Savings & Loan, the nation's most spectacularly failed thrift. Jones Day denies all charges...
