In Anderson v. Abbott (321 U.S. 349) the defendant shareholders had organized a holding company and transferred to that company shares which they held in various national banks in return for shares in the holding company. The holding company did not have sufficient assets to meet the double liability requirements of the governing Federal statutes which provided that the owners of shares in national banks were personally liable for corporate obligations 'to the extent of the amount of their stock therein, at the par value thereof, in addition to the amount invested in such shares' (U. S. Code, tit. 12, former §63).
