STATE BANK ACTIVITY
Consent Order
On January 14, 2014, the Commissioner entered into a Consent Order with Yolanda O’Keefe (“O’Keefe”). The Consent Order was based on an investigation by the Financial Institutions Division. As a result of such investigation, the Commissioner alleged that O’Keefe, while an employee at Connecticut Community Credit Union, engaged in an unsafe and unsound practice in connection with a credit union and used her position in a manner contrary to the interest of a credit union, both of which constitute grounds for removal pursuant to Section 36a-53(b)(1) of the Connecticut General Statutes. As part of the Consent Order, O’Keefe may not hold any position as a director, officer, employee or independent contractor with any bank, Connecticut credit union or federal credit union or with a holding company that holds a subsidiary that is a bank, or as a licensee or registrant under Title 36a or 36b of the Connecticut General Statutes, without the consent of the Commissioner.
