Citigroup Spanked by Japanese
We won't be having Citihall in Japan. No, in Japan, the Citigroup executives are bowing to atone for their sins! The New York Times reports:
Last month, the Financial Services Agency, Japan's bank regulator, ordered Citigroup to close its private banking business, which caters to clients with more than 100 million yen ($932,400) to invest, after finding that a lack of internal controls enabled some employees to engage in fraudulent transactions. In particular, the regulators discovered that the office did little to monitor against money laundering and had misled customers about investment risk.
