(2) By reason of such violation, practice, or breach the financial institution has suffered or will probably suffer financial loss or other damage, the interests of the financial institution's depositors have been or may be prejudiced, or the institution-affiliated party has received financial gain or other benefit as a result of the violation, practice, or breach; and
(3) The violation, practice, or breach involves the institution-affiliated party's personal dishonesty or demonstrates the party's wilful or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the financial institution.
