WHAT HAPPENED

Federal regulators are demanding that 23 former executives, board members and employees of Sioux Falls, S.D.-based BankFirst pay $77.4 million for losses on bad loans.

WHY THIS IS SIGNIFICANT

The action signals a tougher regulatory stand against bankers that engage in wrongful misconduct and reckless lending practices.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

The former BankFirst officials and regulators likely will work out a negotiated settlement. The FDIC's investigation of the bank's failure is ongoing.
