David Kennelly, former chief lending officer of the failed Bank of Clark County, would be banned from ever working again in the banking industry under a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. enforcement action made public Friday.
Kennelly was charged Feb. 11, 2010, with a felony count of concealing material facts from bank examiners prior to the Vancouver bank’s Jan. 16, 2009, failure. Kennelly pleaded guilty and voluntarily accepted a ban from working in the banking industry.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said it filed the enforcement action, which was dated June 10, because it has not received a signed copy of the 2010 agreement from Kennelly. He has 20 days from receipt of the order to challenge the order, a process that would require a public hearing.
In the document, the federal bank regulatory agency said Kennelly’s actions at the Bank of Clark County “demonstrate personal dishonesty and a knowing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Bank.”
