If we are talking about a locally-owned bank that would be true, but the branch manager isn't high up on the BOA food chain and this was not a large client to BOA. Just because people are multimillionaire business owners does not mean that national banks aren't PITAs to them and have them go through red tape. A branch manager can be a locally prestigious job and they can have a nice executive sounding title, but it doesn't mean it is within their own authority to do certain things no matter how much they want to. The branch manager may have tried to please SS to the point that the branch manager did things that could result in getting fired for cause.
He did in fact come up with the 40K. So it appears that it was a possible task. He probably had several accounts and took less than 10k from each. I don't see that as anything that would get a manager fired.
And even in a large corporate bank, there is a lot of pressure on individual branches to lure local business accounts. There is pressure to please a CEO and keep him as a current account holder. JMO
