Obama Cutting Secret Deal With Predatory Banks
(Washington Examiner) President Obama’s financial regulators are reportedly
negotiating a secret settlement with 14 banks to end an investigation into
predatory loans and foreclosures because federal investigators are having
trouble finding the evidence they need for a successful end to the probe.
| Fourteen banks — such as JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America — would pay $10 billion, under the settlement, that would be used for relief for homeowners and families that have lost their homes. |
|
What do the banks get? “The proposed settlement would also halt
a separate sweeping review of more than four million loan files that the
comptroller’s office and the Federal Reserve required the banks undertake as
part of a consent order in April 2011,” The New York Times reports.
