The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Loans may be made contrary to law, and in disregard of the usual and ordinary precautions taken by banks generally, without subjecting the officers by or to whom such loans may be made to the charge of embezzlement, although they may be palpable violations of duty. But we do not question that the statute may be violated by fraudulent transactions under the guise of loans, made with full knowledge of the managing officers or agents of the bank. The distinction is between the making of mere irregular, unsafe, or reckless loans of the bank’s money, which would amount to maladministration only, and pretended loans, made in bad faith for personal advantage and with fraudulent intent, the pretended borrower being an officer, agent, clerk or servant, having control and custody of money of the bank by virtue of his office or employment, which control and custody is shared by those making the pretended fraudulent loan,, and who participate in the fraudulent purpose of the pretended borrower. ’ ’”
