    Indeed, as would imagine that his expenses (ordinarily) wouldn't have been looked at too closely and would have been reasonably hefty anyway, given CEO of a large bank.

    Maybe he just built the deck before he had the shares to sell??

    I suspect there will be more to it, when I was in my corporate career, want to exit an executive...look at their credit cards...always find something there to provide the final nudge.

    The talk is of exaggerated expenditure on corporate cars and wine storage among others !!!

    Looks like he did more than build a deck. Bought John Keys Omaha bach, last year. I see JK's old mate Ken Whitney ala the foreign trusts was mentioned in the article also.

    K W, is not J K;s " old mate " it is purely professional as he is his lawyer and Im picking a trustee of John blind trust that was in effect while John was P M and that relationship worked very well ( legally ) so would remain, NO SMOKE HERE !!

    Odd isn't it? Teflon John always seems to be making deals which are clean but somehow have a whiff of fish (probably flounder from Omaha), but nothing obviously illegal. I do suspect one day he will be smoked out.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
