Aneurin has a FASCINATING take on the collapse of The Bank of Clark County

.
Absolutely amazing perspective and information provided by Aneurin at Politics is a Blood Sport and Jon DeVore at HA.

A far better take, I believe, than our local fishwrapper.





DeVore at HA has a lot more on this, but the list of the seized Bank of Clark County's board of directors reads like a Who's Who of local movers and shakers, with two names in particular sticking out:

Arch Miller, founder of the International Air and Hospitality Academy in Vancouver, is a founding director of Bank of Clark County and served as the company’s first chairman from 1999 to 2002. Miller was a member of audit, loan, and IS/IT steering committees. Miller has been involved with Columbia River Economic Development Council, the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, Vancouver Rotary Club and Identity Clark County. He served as an elected Port of Vancouver commissioner for 18 years.

[...]

John “JD” White is vice president and regional client development director of the JD White division of BERGER/ABAM Engineers Inc. in Vancouver. White is a founding shareholder of Bank of Clark County. He chairs the Bank’s IS/IT steering committee and serves on the loan, asset and liability, and governance, nominating and compensation committees. White is a trustee for Clark College and serves on the following boards: Southwest Washington Medical Center, Columbia United Providers, Southwest Washington Regional Surgery Center and the Washington State University Vancouver Advisory Council.

Much more, and it's great reading.
