WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — A former Wilmington Trust executive has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud in an investigation of the failed bank's lending practices.
Forty-five-year-old Joseph P. Terranova waived an indictment and entered his plea Wednesday. He faces up to five years in prison when sentenced Sept. 9.
Terranova is a former relationship manager in the commercial real estate group at Wilmington Trust, which was sold to M&T Bank Corp. in 2010 after its deteriorating loan portfolio left it on the verge of collapse.
