Citigroup and U.S. Agreement: $7 Billion
A settlement agreement is expected to be announced on Monday in which Citigroup agrees to pay $7 billion for their role in the 2008 toxic home debacle. This is a far cry from the $12 billion position the government took earlier in the week. Of course, the bank had offered $363 million in April of this year.
Reuters is reporting:
JPMorgan Chase & Co , the largest U.S. bank, last year agreed to pay $13 billion to settle government probes. Bank of America has still not settled.
