ALEXANDRIA, Va. (May 18, 2012) – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has issued a cease and desist order to Joseph Herbst, a former institution-affiliated party of U.S. Central Federal Credit Union (U.S. Central), located in Lenexa, Kan.
The order, which Herbst consented to without admitting fault, requires Herbst to desist from the following actions:
Becoming an employee of, holding any office in, or otherwise participating in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of any federally insured corporate credit union;
Consulting or advising any federally insured corporate credit union on any matters involving or relating to investment securities, investment policy, or investment strategy; or
Selling any investment securities to any federally insured corporate credit union.
This order was one of the terms of a settlement agreement between Herbst and NCUA to settle the potential claims against him, stemming from the conservatorship and eventual liquidation of U.S. Central.
