Sec. 11010. Slander. Any person who knowingly makes, utters, circulates, or transmits to another or others any statement untrue in fact, derogatory to the financial condition of any savings bank subject to this Act with intent to injure any savings bank, or who counsels, aids, procures, or induces another to originate, make, utter, transmit, or circulate any statement or rumor, with like intent, is guilty of slander and shall be punished by a civil money penalty of not more than $10,000.
However, if, as the result of the statement or rumor a savings bank suffers loss of deposits or other financial loss, the Commissioner may assess each person who knowingly participated in the slander, a civil money penalty of up to $100,000 per savings bank. The person will be deemed to be significantly involved in the affairs of a savings bank and the Commissioner may also proceed against that person as provided in Section 11006.
