2024 Potter Awards

2024 Potter Awards

In perhaps the most famous movie based Receivership of all time, It's a Wonderful Life aptly portrays a run on the bank that results in a bank receivership. The benefactor of this run and receivership is Mr. Potter who seizes control of the bank. In a nod to quick decision making, ability to react under difficult times, and make the best of a bad situation (ignore that he's the bad guy in the movie) we've aptly named these receivership awards after him.
