This story is about excess. About building an empire and having to leave it. This story is about Vernon W. Hill II who aggressively founded the Commerce Bank over 34 years ago, and had to leave in order for it to take shape due to cease-and-desist orders with federal banking regulators.
Vernon upped the anti in his business plans, by rapidly opening up Burger Kings, to creating a banking empire that saw the creation of extremely large branches while other companies were scaling back. Then there is the talk of his 46,000 square foot home that was created after the demolition of a historic property that caused his neighbors to establish a preservation society.
Take it for what it is, and keep Karma in mind.
