- The $1.21 billion total includes a $750 million OCC penalty, the agency’s largest ever.
- Treasury said more than $1 billion of the unreported activity involved national-security risks, including Chinese networks.
- The bank admitted willful violations; it said the penalty should reduce third-quarter earnings by about 17 cents per share.
- Treasury said the bank must commission external reviews of undetected transactions and independent reviews of monitoring and customer-due-diligence programs.
Despite its obligation to the American people as a national-chartered, global systemically important bank, the bank's BSA/AML compliance program continues to reflect widespread breakdowns in internal controls, which threatens U.S. national and economic security.— Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould said in an OCC press release.
