Bank of America in record $16.7billion mortgage settlement


Bank of America in NYC

The bank of America assured US authorities to pay a record of $16.7 billion for misleading investors about the quality of loans they have sold or bought.
Before the Bank of America bought the loans in 2008, it hit rock bottom when the Countryside Financial and Merrill Lynch owned it.  The Bank of American invests $9.65 billion in cash as well as $7 billion consumer relief, which takes up ¾ profit of the bank.

It’s a historic step forward for the US government with the compensation payments they got for illegal settlements they weren’t involved in. By reselling items to investors in the US but not showing them the whole risk that is involved, which demonstrates the misuse of marketing. With marketing the wrong information to earn more profit, they don’t deserve – illegal marketing.

JP Morgan Bank
The BBC NY reports that the US has a hold on Wall Street, which led to a financial crisis, which is command economy. The financial crisis that was made by the Bank of America was paid by another Bank, JP Morgan, which is a profit-based organization because it had already invested in many cases that were in financial crisis to make more profit - which made them become one of Americas biggest Bank.

Wall Street in NYC
The Strategy on Wall Street was to be a shareholder in Bank of America, which opened 1.5% higher following their settlement that was made. This means that Wall Street as a shareholder will have a limited liability. Therefore JP Morgan Bank paid of a $13 billion settlement for misleading investors, to collect more shares in different bank, to achieve a higher profit.
