THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN Thursday, October 3, 1991 2 Named Life Term Added To Death Sentence By FDIC In Lawsuit With 25 Smngs On Bridal Sets, Too Bad You Cant Hurry Love. DALLAS (AP) A convicted drug dealer already sentenced to death for murder also received life in prison for the 1988 kidnapping of a woman and her son who later were killed. Genaro "Geno" Ruiz Camacho, 36, received the life sentence Tuesday as punishment on a July 9 federal conviction for. the kidnapping of Evellyn Banks, 31, and her 3-year-old son, Andre. Barbara Nichol, spokeswoman for the U.S.

Attorney's office in Dallas, said Camacho was convicted of one count of conspiracy to kidnap, two counts of kidnapping and one count of use of a firearm during a crime of violence. He was sentenced to death in May 1990 on a state murder conviction in the slaying of David Wilburn, Banks' neighbor. The federal sentence, which carries no p'arole, ensures that Cama cho will have no chance of getting out of prison even if his death sentence is overturned. In Camacho's summer trial, prosecutors said Camacho led a Dallas drug ring in the late 1980s. In May 1988, he and three others went to the home of Sam Junior Wright, Banks' husband and Andre's father, to collect a drug debt.

Camacho killed Wilburn, who had interrupted the confrontation. Camacho and the three others took Evellyn Banks and Andre to an apartment to hold them for ransom, but Camacho ordered them killed. The two were driven to Oklahoma, shot and dumped in a grave. Juan Jackson, one of Camacho's accomplices, was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced last week to life in prison. One of "the other two accomplices has pleaded guilty and is in prison.

"But the horse is out of the barn," he said.

Richard Ridings, executive director of the OTA, said a study found that eliminating the toll plazas at either end of the, turnpikes and putting a collection system in the middle could save $2.5 million a year. The turner turnpike runs from Oklahoma City to Tulsa; The Will Rogers turnpike goes from Tulsa to the Oklahoma-Missouri line. Although -the cost would not change' for motorists who drive, the length of the turnpikes, some would have to pay the full $2.50 to drive distances as short as 17 miles. TULSA (AP) The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority has not decided whether to change the way it collects cash tolls, along the Will Rogers and Turner turnpikes, the director of technical services says. But a Vinita insurance agentsays the fact that construction began on toll plazas a month ago proves otherwise "It seems to me that the authority had a plan in mind and the recent public outcry has caused concern, and now the authority, is going to try to address the concern," Larry Green said at a' meeting Tuesday night.

The short-distance cost would remain at the current lower level for carriers of the electronic PikePass. Jim Berry, director of technical services for the OTA, said the options are still being considered. "We do not know What the final changes are going to be or, in fact, if there are going to be changes," Berry said at the meeting in Big Cabin. James Orbison of Tulsa, chairman of the OTA, said any proposal to cut the cost: of collecting tolls would first be presented to motorists at of public hearings, although none, has been scheduled.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is seeking unspecified damages against two former officers of the Phoenix Federal Savings and Loan Association, which was closed in 1988. The FDIC is suing New York City-based Deloitte Touche for allegedly failing to conduct proper audits in 1985 and 1986: The lawsuit claims loans involving Meghan Cove condominium and resort near Grove created a "dangerous concentration" of loans, The Tulsa Tribune reported Wednesday, The accounting firm and the two former officers Clarence L. May berry of Muskogee and William E.

Beck-man Jr. of Oklahoma City deny wrongdoing. The lawsuit accused Mayberry and Beck-man of not acting' in the best interest of the failed thrift in lending money for the development of Meghan Cove. The FDIC alleges the thrift: Did not adequately monitor an $8 million, loan in April 1983 that was given without an appraisal. Exceeded federal, levels of its equity in-: terest in the development company.

Imprudently underwrote a $12.5 million advance to another company for the subsequent purchase of the resort. net worth standards by a $20 million line of credit issued in April 1986. Beckman, who worked at the thrift from December 1985 to March 1987, said it was "stupid" for the FDIC to wait five' years to file the lawsuit. "I never knew what a scapegoat looked like before I read the lawsuit. After I read it, I saw my first one," Beckman said.

Mayberry was chairman and chief executive officer at Phoenix from October 1982 until it failed in August 1988. His attorney, Ron Wright of Muskogee, said the lawsuit "doesn't reflect our view as to what happened." The lawsuit claims the FDIC losses could have been reduced if Deloitte Touche had conducted proper audits. The FDIC claims the firm issued accounting statements that overstated interest income and net worth and understated money set aside for losses. An unnamed spokesman for the firm told the newspaper that neither the FDIC nor any other agency ever apprised Deloitte of any concerns in the three years following the thrift's failure. "Now, on what the FDIC says is the last day available to it under the statute of limitations, FDIC has suddenly filed a bare-bones complaint, ignoring Deloitte's qualified report and referring to audits performed in earlier years," the spokesman said.

Phoenix was merged with Victor Federal Savings and Loan Association of Muskogee in 1988 into a government-controlled thrift named Cimarron Federal Savings and Loan. GREAT BUYS! USE DAMAGE!
