If some of the allegations mentioned here are true, it seems to me as if RCC were slowly being sucked into fraudulent transactions through their own mismanagement and poor business model.
Originally, it was most probably NOT premeditated fraud.

Banks have been known to fail in such a manner, and it becomes very fuzzy to know when they first get into trouble.

Prudent management (less risky financial behaviour) by staff may have prevented this.

It's difficult to determine whether overpriced coins are fraud or incompetence.

When I went to change money in Greece in 2009, I noticed that many of the banks were offering silver and gold coins. All were overgraded and many were overpriced even for their inflated grade.

In my most visited bank, one of the tellers who spoke good English told me that they were on commission from a coin dealer - the bank got 20% commission and they sold a few each week.

That's greed by the bank alright!
Those coins, if they exist, don't belong to the bank!
