#2131474 - 05/23/17 02:27 PM SAR on Commercial Loan Officer
Anonymous

If a commercial loan officer emailed confidential bank information to himself before resigning what category would you use? To make matters worse, he did this via unsecured email.

The confidential information included tax returns, loan applications, w2's, financial statements of customers, etc. Basically entire loan files.

Not the brightest crayon in the box.

If not done so, check fidelity coverage, Ethics and/or HR policy. Contact new employer and enjoin them from contacting customer via legal.

The person committed theft. That's what I would put on the SAR.

Based on the definitions here (from FinCEN but from a long time ago), does Identify Theft fit? (I'm emphasizing the word "transfers" : https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/sar_tti_07.pdf#page=45

"A person who knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any lawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or that constitutes a felony under applicable state or local law."

You need to immediately inform your regulator about this situation regardless of what check box you choose for your SAR. They have in the past and will prosecute this person to include a life-time ban from banking. This is a very serious data integrity/theft situation.

Right. Regardless of what you decide to report, this needs to happen. This guy should never work for another bank.

Definitely inform your regulator asap.
On the SAR, I would look at section 35 Other Suspicious Activities and check
j Misuse of position or self dealing
q Unauthorized electronic intrusion

I let them sort it out. And there was a bank a few years ago that made the headlines when the lender and his assistant emailed customer lists to themselves prior to resigning from the bank.

Most definitely inform your regulator as others have said. I've seen this happen in the past and it is not only taken very seriously you very probably will see this escalated all the way to Washington.

Start making notes now. See if you can put together a spreadsheet of what and when was emailed - down to customer names and identify the documents - tax returns, appraisals, financial statements, title work.... The regulators not only see the offence of taking customer info but also in taking info belonging to the bank. You should also attempt to do a print history to see if you can identify days/weeks of any abnormal heavy printing and identify the customer and document types (maybe the printing of trial balances).

Take "depositions" now of anyone involved in the identification of the issue so nothing is forgotten by the time you are interviewed by your regulator.

" You should also attempt to do a print history to see if you can identify days/weeks of any abnormal heavy printing and identify the customer and document types (maybe the printing of trial balances). "

If you have a network printer, most save documents to a printer hard drive. Your printing programs might be able to tell what documents were printed and by whom. Electronic copies may still be on the hard drive to ID.
