In the Matter of
DOUGLAS A. WINTER,individually,
and as an executive officer, a director, and
a person participating in the conduct of
the affairs, and as an institution-affiliated
party of
STATE BANK OF GREENWALD
GREENWALD, MINNESOTA
(Insured State Nonmember Bank—In
Receivership)
ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM
FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   On November 7, 1989, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") issued to Douglas A. Winter ("Respondent") a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE"), detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices and breaches of fiduciary duty alleged to have been committed by Respondent, individually and in his capacity as director, officer and person participating in the conduct of the affairs of State Bank of Greenwald, Greenwald, Minnesota ("Bank"), and further detailing Respondent's right to a hearing on such alleged charges under section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. §1818(e).
   Thereafter, Respondent, having waived his right to a hearing, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated February 9, 1990, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying the allegations contained in the NOTICE, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe that:
   (a) Respondent has engaged or participated in unsafe or unsound banking practices and breaches of his fiduciary duty as a director and officer of the Bank;
   (b) By reason of such practices and breaches of fiduciary duty, (A) the Bank has suffered substantial financial loss or other damage, and (B) the interests of the Bank's depositors were seriously prejudiced; and
   (c) Such practices and breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank.
   The FDIC further determined that such practices and breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's unfitness to serve as an Institution-Affiliated Party of any insured depository institution, as defined in section 3(u) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1813(u). The FDIC, therefore, accepted {{4-1-90 p.C-366}}the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:

ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM
FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   [.1] 1. IT IS ORDERED that, except with prior written consent obtained in accordance with the said section 8(e)(7)(B) of the Act, Respondent shall not continue or commence to hold any office in, or participate in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of, any institution or agency specified in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(7)(A), including:

   (a) Solicit, procure, transfer, vote, or attempt to transfer or to vote any proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any voting rights in any institution specified in the said section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act;
   (b) Violate any voting agreement previously approved by the appropriate Federal banking agency; or

   Pursuant to delegated authority.
   Dated at Washington, D.C. this 18th day of May, 1990.
