CEO Of Hebron Savings Bank Gregory Johnson Resigned Today

We're not sure why but we figured we'd put this up for those in the community who know him to offer their best wishes.

1:34 Please explain how a person that screws as many people over as Bill Riley did with the Allied/Peninsula Lumber fiasco, with his buddy, relative Greg Johnson financing is in a yacht club? I work my ass off, pay my bills, and no daughter if mine gets married on the bank Presidents lawn. Some wonder why we're bitter. Well hello!

Anonymous said...

Just checked the bank rating for Hebron Savings Bank and it's 'four star'--that's very good!

Anonymous said...

We've been a member of Wicomico Yacht Club for 20+ years and the Rileys did nothing to improve the place. They'd walk in loud and obnoxious, already half drunk and stinking of cigarettes, thinking they owned the place. We are glad they stopped attending.

Still no word on how Ed wilgus can still serve as director after he accepted a $25,000 bribe for a loan at HSB.

The Riley's not only have one but TWO boats at Wicomico Yacht club...makes one shake their head! It's all in who you know, I guess.

Anonymous said...

3:34 Yes they do. A broken down fish boat that the lien exceeds the value. A friend of mine offered to buy it and couldn't due to the payoff. The 2nd boat was bought from Wendy's estate money that should have been used to pay bills, and not hardly worth bragging about. These are people exactly as portrayed by the other comments, and to the point of this story, the type that Greg Johnson supported with the banks money, that posters like myself have an interest.

How can you live in Deer Harbour and pay in State tuition for your daughters who attend UVA or JMU, at in-state rates? Is this legal what Twilley is doing? This type of duplicity is good for a Bank Board????

This is small however compared to the Wilgus and Tawes bones of contention and apparent corruption.

Anonymous said...

If Ed Wilgus done that...(accepted a bribe) I hope he has to answer to that! Awful!! Wow...the evil among us!!

All that the intial post was "wishing Greg well" and all the rumors, and maybe truths come out. Talk about "Pandora Box"!!

What silly person put the HSB received a 4 star. Obviously, that's not updated daily or minute to minute.

His first wife was Scott Tawes daughtet which they have a son together. Just gets better and better. Can you imagine being in a business partnership with your ex son-in-law that treated your daughter like shit. Real gem of a father.

I wish Greg Johnson the best of luck in his new position. There is a new position and he will be very successful in it. As far as the Henderson family goes, they have nothing to do with this WITCH HUNT so many of you seem to be on with Greg and now his family and now his friends. Connie and Jim and their daughter are close friends of mine and if I and my husband were down and out they would be one of the first to lend a hand. Greg and Joanne Johnson are also friends of mine. So I guess that makes me a horrible, corrupt, heathen. I presume all of you that are holding forth with the horrible comments are perfect folks who have never done anything that might in any way seem in appropriate at any time in your life. Well, it's nice to know there actually are perfect people on this earth. I applaud you. There is a saying and I believe it goes something like "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Anonymous said...

5:19. I do believe that we all have done things. I don't think we all have committed fraud, taken bribes or approve loans for friends to buy foreclosures without the properties to be marketed to the puble. If so we would all be in jail.

Funny hebron has twice as many branches now as when Greg took the wheel. They prosper as other local banks are all but crashed. Greg and all the great staff at HSB the reasons. I don't get why so many are so jealous. Scott and Juke are truly who they portray themselves to be, great genuine eastern shore natives that laid it all out to get there. You "come here" bunch a bastards content to work for $10 an hr 40 hr a week and not risk it all to roll the dice for a better life jjust can't stand to see the results of those who put in the time to get to the next level..so you try tear em apart personally. You are pathetic losers go back to New Jersey . Leave us and our way of life alone .

Greg Johnson is a weasel and truth be known he and Joanne would be the first to snicker behind your back if you were in trouble. Loyalty is not a quality of Gregs. He is loyal to NO one, not even his own parents. When you disrespect your mom and dad then you are a worthless piece of shit. Greg has alot to answer for and this is just the tip of the iceberg. He is a hypocritical drunk with no conscience. As far as the Hendersons I do not know them. I do know Cheryl and she is a two faced witch. Good that you think she is your friend because she can't make that claim with many. Watch your husband around her. Maybe she can have you in her next photo layout.

Wow,vicious lies/
The proof is in the pudding, HSB has large profits.
The Chairman of the Board Charles Smith has no business going in the bank every day and wasting employees time. He has a limited education an none as a Banker. Johnson was Johnson, he worked hard steered a good course an enjoyed partying. Sure he is loud and he partied hardy, but this does not have a thing to do with profits.
There were no underhanded deals. The purchase of Plantations by Tawes and Marshall was all above board. Any of us could of purchased this ad received the same loan rate. That has certainly not beed a deal with a windfall profit. If you disagree let's see the records.
You guys are mean vicious an liar's , you don't know what you are talking about.

5:19 pm....well said! Those aren't mistake. They are federal crimes!

Doesn't any bank have "checks and balances"? Doesn't they have an ethical committee? Just blows my mind that this bank already has a history, i.e. Wanda Henderson convicted of bank fraud. This is so poorly run and managed. Even at that time, why didn't Greg Johnson know this bank fraud...Millions of dollars were on the line with the fraud at that time. He is ultimately responsible. TO let all this continues ...well the Feds should shut it down. Unbelievable. Everyone should pull their money out of that bank. AWFUL!

Anonymous said...

My source tells me Greg was fired due to his involvement with the multiple bank robberies last year at HSB! Just never know who to trust..

Juke Marshall is one of the hardest working smartest guys I ever met. He and his wife bought her father's business and have taken it to a much higher level. With Scott Conway the have started a new business to replace GM sales when they went out of building chicken houses.
Hard working straight forward business family, low profile.
Those of us in business are glad they are in this area.

You are right, people In glass houses should not throw stones. Maybe those you mentionec should follow your good advice.

When he was drunk at the auction while two branches were being robbed? Yeah could be one reason but not the main reason. More to it than that.

I don't know Greg Johnson but I would have given him the benefit of the doubt except for the fact he let the Henderson's get away with embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the bank right under his nose. That was inexcusable and negligent on his part. The board should have removed him from his position at that time.

Several HSB Board members and employees are partners with the wind developer Pioneer Green. Wind energy increases electricity rates and lowers property values, both of which will devastate the local economy. One of the higher ups at the bank is related to a Somerset County Commissioner who decides the fate of wind development in Somerset.

I doubt he's laughing, when his "business" gets shut down, because the bank has no "secure'ity", anymore, let's see if Greg will share his " golden parachute "?

As long as Riley has our tax dollars paying his tyrant wife $90,000+ per year to be the Wicomico County Circuit Court Administrator and all of her lawyer (& apparently banker) "friends" to lie and cheat their way out of their indiscretions, it's doubtful he or Wendy will ever get what's coming to them.

Are you the same Lisa that was partying with the Johnson's last weekend when those ridiculous pictures were posted on Facebook. Hideous mask. All we could see were large red lips.

I have learn one good lesson from all these comments, DON'T TRUST ANYONE! It's sad that some of these 400+ comments was made by someone that Greg, Brian, Wendy, Bill etc..know personally, someone who has smiled to there faces and now accusing them of being fake and talking behind others back and now these keyboard bullies are doing the exact same thing, while dragging their personal life into this public forum. A lot of these comments are saying only things that so called "friends" would know. You people should rethink your own lives if this what it has come to. I agree that if something was in done wrong in the banking world then report to the proper channels, not here. Period.

Anonymous said...

You are so right 12:06. The people that make these comments are friendly and supportive to their faces and behind the keyboard they say how they really feel. And its sad became that is the way they really feel but they have to keep up the persona that they are your friends. Fake people living in their fake little bubble. Most try to live like millionaires on a minimal salary. Must be stuff to try to keep up with haves when you have not. Really sad.

You certainly do need a better circle of friends. We crack up when we see those pics on Facebook. Friends would tell friends what NOT to do or what NOT to wear. If you think Greg Johnson is your friend you are sadly mistaken.

Who finances for Scott Tawes??? I would guess Hebron Savings Bank of course! Who else!!! He's on the board of directors for that bank. If I understand this correctly, maybe rumor, but it's worth mentioning. He gets a VERY LOW interest rate at HSB cause he is on the board.

12:06 & 12:54 You're so quick to defend them, and act like you aren't doing the same thing behind your keyboard? (I see you commented anonymous too.)

I wonder how much truth there is to the Wendy Riley finally leaving the court rumors? She should have gone after her DWI.

Joe, I hope you follow up on this story.

Copy & paste the link below. I found this in about 30 minutes. Looks like there may be many more. Looks like Hebron Bank loaned MRJ properties $415,000. Then MrJ defaulted and Hebron bought back at foreclosure for $275,000. Then Sold to Tawes for $100,000. They even financed the entire $100,000 to Tawes as in no downpayment. I am not an expert but that's what it looks like.

Misinformation and gossip throughout this thread.

3. Political witch hunt and personality conflicts by internal auditor and other senior VPs.
4. This has nothing to do with Wanda Henderson.
5. Watch HSB decline now.

12:04 It is a known fact that Cathy Brinsfield and Sue Greene are the ones who led the witch hunt. Cathy Brinsfield should know the humiliation since her husband was charged and found guilty of bank fraud while employed at PNC. Like she was innocent-yeah right. She should have been guilty for conspiracy. I hope Greg will be able to nail tbeir asses to the wall. It is known that neither one is liked or respected within the HSB family.

No honor among thieves. It runs deep in that family. Ms. Connie is not going to associate with you unless you are of money or influential in some way. Mr. Jim is just a good old Crisfielder who is pulled around by his nose ring.

I was working at PNC at the time.
Everyone knew Cathy was involved at the time. Brian took the fall while she lived in comfort. Trips and cruises on PNC money. And she has the audacity to want to take Greg down. What a joke. She and Sue Greene socialize outside the bank. Maybe she told Cathy how not to get caught. I would not want them two as friends.

I'm not so sure you can call her a whistle blower. Sue's job is the internal auditor. She reports directly to the board. Is seems pretty obvious that Sue must have found one of Greg's "shady deals" that was probably illegal. She had an ethical (and probably even legal) responsibility to report it to the board and let them take action. As so many of you have said, Greg has friends on the board. Why would they force him to resign if he didn't do anything serious? You have to be the bad guy as an internal auditor. It's a shame so many people on here are jumping to conclusions without any knowledge of the situation. Speculative grasping and attacking people anonymously is what this whole thread has turned into and its quite disgusting.

Have to agree with 1058PM that she was just doing her job. Sounds like there are so many good ole boys in this town that think they can get away with murder (and sometimes they do) but I congratulate her for possibly finding something that did not seem quite right and the Board made the final decision from what I am reading. The longer I live around here the more "corrupt" way of doing things seems to be the norm.

No ties to the bank or folks mentioned, past or present. Has been interesting reading.

Bank Officers are fiduciaries on behalf of all of the shareholders. Remains unclear how they met that obligation.

In the example quoted looks like they took over a $690K loss (415 + 275) before lending an additional $100K to an insider on an unsecured basis. Perhaps they shuffled the paperwork to come up with more favorable numbers.

But how was any of this to the benefit of the shareholder? And the suggestion has been made that events of this sort were routine.

Since it is a publicly held business, and a bank, an array of regulations cover what is legit and what isn't.

If you're going to use it as a personal piggy bank as an officer might be advisable to follow the rules.

TRUE 4:40. She has been after him for years. I have worked there for 10 plus years and it has been a known fact for years she has had an agenda. And it is true from an earlier post that two of our officers children which WERE employed with HSB were stealing from the bank. One NOTHING was done to, her mother is vice president/human resource officer. So tell us what is covered up?? The other one received probation. It's a job but this place is off the chain. Cathy Brinsfield is bigger of a bully than Greg Johnson ever thought about being. She talks to the employees with arrogance and insulting comments. Her fat ass is lazy and worthless. If the board wanted to clean house she should be #1 on the list followed by Sue Greene. We only pray the board checks into these two and ask questions. PLEASE! !

I hope the hell it is someone that is not from here. One that cannot be persuaded by the board or any of its officers. Is that even possible around here?

Thanks,

Davis Ruark should have nailed Jimmy Henderson's ass to the wall when had the chance. He had the charges but when you pay for the big A he gets things done.

7:17 post is referring to family members of HSB officers that worked also for HSB. Apparently these individuals stole from.the bank. We never hear about this stuff. I guess family members are exempt from prosecution.

So has anyone heard what Greg Johnson's new job is? Or is there a job at all? If there is a job why so secretive?

How many thousands in kick backs do you think Greg has received from these "above board" foreclosure purchases.

What is really sad but rather hilarious is Wanda paid big bucks for him not to go to jail and Jimmy happily sent her to WV
But I guess KARMA returned the favor to him. Be careful what you wish for because it will come back on you.

The Karma comments are getting old. Try something new. Karma didn't cause this. A jeolous whistleblower caused this mess.

More than most of the losers commenting here have ever made.

It is truly sad that people that have not benefitted by this insider schemes are called losers. This is corruption plain and simple. The persons responsible are none other than Greg himself because he believed he was above the law. I hope he sings like a bird and brings all of his cronies down with him. This is why we pay outrageous bank fees and receive .01 percent return on our interest bearing account. Everybody should be demanding prosecution for any of those who have benefitted from these illegal schemes.

Yes you are exactly right! But I still believe she will get what is coming to her, one way or another. We may never know it but it will happen. I seen it more and more. You can only ride high for so long and BAM your bubble will burst. Be patient and watch.

Oh I believe in karma. Take a look st Davis Ruark, Kristy Hickman, Robert Jones, Mike Phillips, Jimmy Henderson. That is just a few that I have seen get their just desserts. They all thought they were mighty and powerful and above the law. They ALL got what they deserved. Henderson paid the Piper.

Whew, finally, this topic has died. Greg, Wanda, and Wendy, can get on with their lives.

It has not died. You can count on that. Gregs corruption leak has just begun. No one cares about Wanda or Wendy but Greg, oh yeah we care! He is the big fish in this pond.

You people are do pathetic. You continually want to blame everyone else when there is only one person to blame-GREGORY W.JOHNSON. He can have WBOC or his friends to ease the damage control but the damage is done. Bottom line he has abused his authority and position.

Hopefully the people that really care will follow through with their complaints to FDIC or to the MARYLAND BANKING COMMISSIONER. Let the grand jury decide his fate. Wonder if he will be laughing as he has of so many others as he sits at Backstreet or his other watering holes.

I wonder what his new "employer" this of all this publicity. I hope someone has the balls to take this story and get to the truth.

I wonder if Greg is getting any legal counsel from his uncle who is a retired Judge. I am sure Greg thinks that everyone is putting this to rest. Lets hope not because there are many people hurt by his corruption.

I'd like to know who exactly was "hurt by his corruption"!

To be fair,Scott Tawes HAS helped local families get into homes of their own.From what I understand, they are "rent to own" leases which are not always the best option BUT he is financing people who would otherwise not qualify for a mortgage at a lending institution and occupying foreclosed homes that would otherwise sit vacant.Sure,he is not doing it out of pure philanthropy,I am sure the interest is sky-high but thats a given if the buyer has credit issues.He is not the most charming man in the world at all,but he has done good things in the community.

Looks like Scott Tawes can afford to do "good things" when you buy properties for 20% of their value. I wonder what he turned around and sold some of these bargain price properties for?

Anonymous said...

If you want to know what he sold the homes for,just check records

Looks like he has hurt his reputation, his family and the people that trusted his leadership. Worst president HSB has ever had. Should have kept Steve Pusey!!
