From Wikipedia - Reading time: 2 min
This article is about the New York City banking institution of the early 20th century. For other uses, see Washington Savings Bank (disambiguation).

The Washington Savings Bank was a New York City bank founded on April 22, 1897[1] and closed by New York State banking regulators on December 29, 1910 when bank President Joseph G. Robonovitch was indicted for grand larceny for stealing $90,000.[2][3] Much excitement surrounded the morphine-addicted Robin's arraignment when he tried to commit suicide by taking poison.[4][5] Four other bank officials were indicted for perjury for making false statements to bank regulators.[6]
