If the directors of any bank knowingly violate or knowingly permit any of the officers, employees, or agents of the bank to violate section 8-141, all rights, privileges, and franchises of the bank shall be forfeited. Before the charter of the bank is declared forfeited, the violation shall be determined and adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action brought for that purpose by the Director of Banking and Finance in his or her own name. In case of such violation, every director of the bank who participated in or knowingly assented to the violation or permission to violate section 8-141 shall be liable in his or her personal and individual capacity for all damages which the bank, its shareholders, or any other person has sustained in consequence of such violation.
