Question presented

Whether the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in this matter that a possessory lien on insurance proceeds deposited into a deposit account survives notwithstanding deposit and commingling of the proceeds with other funds , can be reconciled with a contrary opinion reached in the United States Eighth Appellate Circuit where it was determined in WEB2B Payment Solutions, Inc. 2013 WL 1188041 (8th Cir. BA.P. March 25, 2013) that a bank's possessory lien was overcome by a trustee's control of the deposit account into which the funds were placed.
