WASHINGTON — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) dropped a hammer on the banking industry today, releasing a list of orders for administrative enforcement actions against banks and individuals. This February’s round of action saw six orders issued, including significant fines and prohibitions.
The FDIC’s crackdown focused on major violations within the financial sector, with one order levying a substantial civil money penalty (CMP) upon an unnamed bank executive. The same executive faced a combined prohibition order and CMP for their role in fraudulent activities, signaling a tough stance against white-collar crime.
Two consent orders were issued, each detailing violations by different banks that included lapses in risk management and internal controls. One of these banks was hit with a prohibition order, while the other saw its consent order terminated, demonstrating the FDIC’s commitment to accountability and compliance.
Additionally, one individual faced a standalone prohibition order for their involvement in illegal activities that posed a threat to the stability of the banking system.
The FDIC highlighted that no administrative hearings are scheduled for April 2024, indicating an aggressive enforcement strategy aimed at deterring future violations. To view all orders and adjudicated decisions, interested parties can visit the FDIC’s Web page via the link below:
