“fa] different situation is presented where, as here, a bank officer makes loans to putative borrowers, with the intent that the proceeds be used for his own benefit. The officer conceals his interest from the bank in order to circumvent the statutory limitations on insider loans. In such cases, courts have held that the financial condition of the putative borrower is irrelevant .... Willful misapplication is established by the fact “that the loan was undertaken with intent to defraud the bank or to deceive its officers or examiners.” United States v. Krepps, 605 F.2d 101 , 106 (3d Cir. 1979).”
