A Colorado Springs man who worked at a Pueblo bank pleaded guilty Monday to charges of bank fraud and illegally receiving kickbacks for making loans to a high school friend. Christopher Tumbaga, who was a loan officer at Colorado East Bank and Trust, made the plea as part of an agreement with federal prosecutors in which he agreed to cooperate in the case. Tumbaga is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 30; he faces up to 30 years in prison, fines of up to $1 million, supervised release for up to five years and restitution on each of the two counts. Tumbaga's friend, Brian Headle, is scheduled to be tried Sept. 15 on seven counts of bank fraud and 11 counts of giving the kickbacks to Tumbaga.
