Joseph A. Broderick, as Superintendent of Banks of New York, took possession of the Bank of the United States on December 11, 1930, pursuant to New York Banking Law and began liquidating its assets. The bank was a New York corporation with outstanding capital stock of twenty-five million, two hundred fifty thousand dollars represented by over one million shares. After determining that the bank’s assets were insufficient to pay creditors in full, with a deficiency of thirty million dollars, Broderick made an assessment of twenty-five dollars per share against all stockholders pursuant to New York Banking Law Sections 80 and 120. He brought suit in New Jersey against five hundred fifty-seven stockholders who were New Jersey residents to recover these unpaid assessments for the benefit of over four hundred thousand creditors.
