Let's get some of the facts straight starting with Sonny Robbins who was an advocate for a lot of the bad loans B of ES gave. Sonny Robbins had a 10 year 100,000 a year contact with the bank. In th summer of 2011 the Bank of Hebron offered to buy the bank giving Sonny a $300,000 buyout.It would have enabled shareholders to get back a little of their invstment. Greedy Sonny who wanted his million dollars nixed the deal. Now Sonny and the shareholders have nothing. Larry Mills was removed as the bank's real estate assessor at the request of the FDIC in 2009 because as a board member of the bank he had a conflict of interest. You see how accurate his assessments were. Ed Digges who is in jail for 99 years for defrauding elderly people in Texas,got the bank for millions. He and his wife Katie Kerr bought a number of homes in the Harris Drive Sandy Hill Road area with the proceeds. Digges who is the first cousin of bank lawyer Dickie Harrington had been in jail twice,once in the 1970s for staling from an estate and aroud 1990 for defauding Dresser Industries. Nice nepotism in loans.

The hits keep right on coming, Clearview,run by the brothers in law of Salisbury lacrosse coach Jim Berkman Todd and Scott Shilling went under in their business because they refused to fix a polluting pipe and could not pay the fine. Hmm and Scott Shilling was advocating community banking in the paper. After he wrecked Bank of the ES by going belly up on his loan.Then there former Cambridge City councilman Danny Swafford who defaulted on Section 8 rental housing loans. As did Butch Hachmeister.Danny Seabreeze partied away hi loan as did Bob Smith Automotive president Lee Denny.And the poor Board of Directors with such veteran businessmen as Bill Swann,Bob Davis and John Tieder let it all happen. What a pitiful story.

Was Robbins' property @ 4 Harris Dr one of the properties The Digges gang purchased and financed at BES?? If so, that surely would have a distinct smell to it!!!

you're an idiot!!! That is not true at all about Sonny Robbins for starters he earns $250,00 a year second the whole thing about Hebron is false its not up to Robbins him self, the board would have to votw as a whole. Dickie harrington was not the banks lawyer he was de-barred years ago and larry mills was forced to resign by the board for the shady things he was doing assesing houses.

Since you seem to know so much why not post the truth about what happened that caused the bank to fail?

I was under the assumption that it was a direct result of people defaulting on loans and walking away from them. The things i stated are facts that has been shared with the public over the past years to the stock holders. I have held stock in the bank for over ten years and it has been on a downward slope since 08. why do you suppose they closed?

This is why this blog was a good idea. By everyone imputing,the truth will eventually come out. Some one named Rich Wolf did this when Bob Smith Automotive went under and over 300 comments were made. The rumor about Sonny Robbin's refusal came directly from the mouth of boardmember Bill Swann so you can judge based on that.The Bank of Hebron offer appears to be true if you beleive Wayne Johnson whose son works for Bank of Hebron. It is true about Mills and Harrington and think the FDIC may have criticized the Bank for having Mills in that position when the bad loans were made.However the loans to Diggs a convicted felon were at least in part when Dickie was lawyer. And the fact that Mills was involved in "shady dealings" proves that he was doing the Bank wrong for years. This also raises the question why Mills's shady dealings have never been publicized and why the Bank never prosecuted Mills.

Sounds like mills was receiving kickbacks, I wonder how many others were involved?

You people, like Holy Rice, must think you are Holier than thou. Aren't you a know it all big shot rumor spreader who doesn't know squat about any of the banks dealings? Only hateful rumors, jealous blame and selfish words from you hurt many innocent people. You are not the big shot you think you are just because you can repeat someone's guess as to what happened.

How dare you attach the name HOLY to you? "Holy" implies of purness and sacredness. You rumor mill implies the opposite of Christ and his holy ways.

Still feel like a big shot- know it all trying to bring others down? You know nothing of which you spread hateful, jealous lies. I hate to think you walk this earth must less this wonderful county and I cannot image what pleasure you derive from others heartache.

It was a sad day for everyone in Dorchester County when the back closed and when you see it for anything other than that you are evil. The bank did so much good for those in need, by keeping farms going, helping our precious watermen and working with long term family businesses.

You are you to judge?

God will get you for that.

The only ones God will get is the ones that were taking from the bank.

God doesn't "get" anybody, as long as you repent before you die. It's set up to forgive the guilty, and the only punishment is for the stooges in the here-and-now.
