In Cooper, the bizarre story of the Enloe State Bank has caused a buzz this summer in what’s ordinarily a pretty quiet town. The bank went out of business following a suspicious fire and a paper trail that revealed a number of fraudulent loans. A few people lost of lot of money as a result of the bank failure. The federal investigation is ongoing.
