Indian Springs State Bank was an American Savings and Loan in Kansas City, Kansas. It was notable as the bank of choice for a number of mobsters. After extending hundreds of thousands of dollars in unsecured loans and tie-in arrangements (to, among other things, Global International Airways), Indian Springs filed for bankruptcy in 1984.
