On December 1, 2017, Aurelius Value published a report stating that it had uncovered evidence of an insider loan scheme involving Eagle Bancorp Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ronald D. Paul and certain of the Company's Board members. The report stated, in part, that "insiders treat Eagle as their own private piggy bank." The report further stated that Eagle Bancorp insiders enrich themselves by carving out undisclosed special deals in which members of Eagle Bancorp's management personally benefit from customer relationships.
