Now, two other agencies — the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) — are probing the failed depository institution.
Those investigations concern the nature of the bank’s failure as well as stock sales that executives carried out before the crisis. Previous reports suggested that three executives including CEO Gregory Becker sold millions of dollars of stock.
The DOJ’s investigations reportedly involve the department’s fraud prosecutors, which implies that the bank could face fraud-related charges.
