I don't believe that's our ring. I don't believe you're right. No, see. Hello, John, I'm down, Storm. This is Lomannabner. And now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Last Tuesday, the banking commission informed Lomannabner that they were illegally operating a bank without a charter and ordered them to remove their bank signs

and return all their depositor's money within 24 hours. bank signs and return all the depositors money within 24 hours. When they were spent in rounding up their customers and urging them to withdraw their money and today as we look in on the little community we find two ex-bankers in their jocken down store clearing away the last remnants of their financial institution.

Listen. How about these old bank ledgers long? You want them sold away too? I reckon so. May as well, Abner. Never could get the things to balance no way. Must be something wrong with him. We've done give her about pay everybody their money back.

Yeah, well, what about these deposit slips? We could use them here to make out groceries on them. No, better get shut up. We don't want no evidence laying around here that we ever even had a bank.

We don't, huh? No. That bank commission can't prove nothing that way. Yeah. Well, what about these here rubber stamps? Well, some of them we can keep all right. Them that don't say nothing about a bank.

And sufficient funds. Yeah, we can keep that. We'll get a bill from the wholesale house that we can't pay. We can just stamp in sufficient funds on it and mail it back down. Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
