In late 2008, the global financial system was reeling from the collapse of the American investment bank Lehman's and the US government set up a program using taxpayers' money to restore stability. The owners of Mainstreet Bank in Ashton of Missouri sought help, but the bank's chairman Darryl Woods now admits that he used 380,000 dollars of the funds to buy a luxury waterside home in Florida. The US prosecutor described him as a disgraced business leader who took advantage of the situation to benefit himself and other executives. He has not been sentenced yet, but could face up to a year in prison.
