Sorry not always true.. I know of several and one in particular (I will not name) Who lied and have "inflated" their holdings on paper so as to obtain loans when in fact they were already over extended. So not. if you are good at creative bookeeping you may well get the loan anyway.

On the other hand I know of one who did NOT get the loan... Well things happened (He almost got in a fight) and well. got distracted from the fight and got busy

A fairly short time later he returned to the bank and looked up the loan officer who had turned him down.

MAn: Do you remember me
Bank employee; NO should I
M: you turned me down for a loan on Date
B: I'm not in loans any more
M: I know. in fact you are not in banking any more you are fired
B: you can't do that only the new owner can do that.
M: Yes. I know.. Want to see the sales agreement or the Title to the bank. I just bought it

And yes he made millions and his company is still in business today

I promised no names.

Really, you have high regard for someone who holds a grudge against some nameless bank employee who turned them down for a loan? Did you just make this story up, or is it some urban legend you are mindlessly repeating?
It is almost a certainty that the loan was turned down due to the fact the prospective borrower did not meet one or more of the criteria the bank used to evaluate loans. Then the guy supposedly gets in the banking business and seeks out and fires someone who was just following the rules his employer laid out. This story is 110% hogwash.
