Bank of America, US Bancorp Settle Mortgage-Bond Suit
Bank of America and US Bancorp have agreed to settle their mortgage-bond suit for $69 million, Bloomberg News is reporting.
According to the news site, “Bank of America Corp. and US Bancorp (USB) agreed to pay $69 million to settle a lawsuit with investors who said the banks failed to protect them in their role as trustees for securities backed by Washington Mutual Inc. home mortgages.”
A federal judge in New York City must approve the agreement before it will take effect.
