Kirk: Giannoulias bank has loaned $52 million to criminals

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
U.S. Rep Mark Kirk said today that Thursday's arrest of a Giannoulias Family friend and bank customer brings the amount of money Broadway Bank has loaned to criminals to $52 million.

State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, Kirk's Democratic opponent for U.S. Senate, has said that as chief loan officer of his family's bank from 2002 to 2006, he did not check loan applicants’ arrest records.

Kirk calls that "reckless."
