| At the same time that Judge Mary Beth Bonaventura was driving John Kouvakas and Garry Kirk into the "poor house", this well-connected judge was taking advantage of her cushy Chairman's position at her daddy's Security Financial Bancorp. Bonaventura turned $51,000 into over $102,000 in inder 24 months. Taking into consideration Bonaventura's intellect, one could argue convincingly that this massive profit was simply dumb luck. On the other hand, to bet $51,000 on one stock Bonaventura had to feel pretty certain this bet was a winner. Clearly, being an elitist in Lake County has its perks. You don't suppose there would be a conflict of interest if one of the bank's board members or one of the bank's biggest customers got into a legal jam do you? We think there is an inherent conflict of interest when an opportunistic judge profits from insider stock trading from any local company. Employees and/or large customers are certain to have cases before the courts from time to time. Money breeds corruption, and Bonaventura needs no tempting. In our opinion, judges have no business profiteering through insider trading at all. But then, we're more concerned about corruption than Lake County's attorneys and judges are.

NEWS FLASH.... SAINT JOHN, Ind., Nov 29 (Reuters) - Security Financial Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: SFBI), the holding company for Security Federal Bank & Trust, on Thursday said it elected John Palmer as chairman. Palmer has served as a director for the company since last year. It was not immediately clear who he was replacing. (emphasis added) Shares of the St. John, Indiana-based firm were unchanged from Wednesday's close of $19.78 on the Nasdaq -- near the 52-week high of $19.92. ~~~~~~~~~~~ PEERgroup Note: Well, WE know who he was replacing even if they refused to tell Rueters and tried to keep it a secret. Look's like PEERgroup's exposure of Mary Beth's stock dealings while being a judge cost her the chairman's position and caused her to flee the lime light back into the shadows where she is used to operating. |
