Key legal question
Whether Y. committed aiding and abetting qualified breach of trust by facilitating a kickback to bank manager A.
Extracted holding
Yes. The kickback was intended to influence A.'s conduct in the bank's business and A. breached his duty to protect the bank's assets by diverting the payment to himself and B.
Extracted reasoning
A. was a manager with fiduciary duties to the bank. The payment was arranged before the transaction and conditioned the deal, so it functioned as a bribe/kickback that induced conduct adverse to the bank's interests. Y. knowingly facilitated that conduct.
