The opinion

RAPP, Judge,

specially concurring

While I concur in the result reached by the majority, under Weeks v. Wedgewood Village, 554 P.2d 780 (Okla.1976), the acts herein are such that reasonable men could disagree upon the results. Moreover, it would appear Ott knowingly violated established banking rules and regulations, and particularly 12 U.S.C. §§ 375a-375b (1989). These items alone are sufficient to reverse and remand for further proceedings.
