To Profit From Deutsche Bank’s Trouble, Short the US Fin Sector, Says Fitz-Gerald
The U.S. Department of Justice announced it’s seeking a record $14 billion penalty against Deutsche Bank in relation to mortgage securities fraud in the run up to the global financial crisis that’s roiled markets since 2007.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced it’s seeking a record $14 billion penalty against Deutsche Bank AG USA (NYSE: DB) in relation to mortgage securities fraud in the run up to the global financial crisis that’s roiled markets since 2007.
Another naughty bank, another big fine. Regulators quietly charge banks and financial institutions with rules and policy violations all the time. Most of them are settled just as quietly after a bunch of legal wrangling, without causing so much as a blip in the headlines.
