Pulaski Bank has filed a lawsuit against three former employees over mortgage data that the Creve Couer, Mo., bank claims the employees took and are using to give their new employer a leg up.
The $1.3 billion-asset bank unit of Pulaski Financial filed its lawsuit Tuesday against Rita Rieke, Linda Stewart and Charles Ziegler in U.S. District Court of Kansas. The lawsuit also names First State Bank of St. Charles, Missouri, where Pulaski believes all three are now employed.
