UBS, Commercial Bank, Microsoft, Wal-Mart in Court News
(Adds LyondellBasell in Lawsuits section, Louis Berger in New Suits and Mattel and Le-Nature’s in Verdicts.)
Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Kweku Adoboli, the trader accused of costing UBS AG $2.3 billion by making unauthorized trades, falsified records on exchange-traded-fund transactions, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors amended two of the four charges against Adoboli to indicate that records he allegedly falsified were on ETF trades. A London magistrates court yesterday transferred the case against the 31-year-old to a criminal court where he will be expected to enter a plea on the accusations at a Nov. 22 hearing.
The charges, which also include two counts of fraud and date back to 2008, cover “a large number of transactions,” prosecutor David Williams said at the hearing yesterday. “He exposed the bank to risk of large losses.”
Adoboli has been in custody since his arrest on Sept. 15, when UBS asked the City of London police to detain him after he reported the losses. He was charged two days later with fraud and false accounting. The trading loss prosecutors claim he was responsible for led to the departures of Chief Executive Officer Oswald Gruebel and the co-heads of the Swiss bank’s global equities business. Adoboli was fired by the bank on Sept. 17, Williams said.
United Commercial Bank, Hedge Funds, EU Rules: Compliance
(Updates Deutsche Boerse in Compliance Action section and adds Bank of America in Compliance Action and Card Fees in Speeches and Interviews.)
Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. disclosed $1.3 billion of new expenses tied to faulty mortgages and foreclosures in its third quarter, pushing the bill for the five biggest home lenders since 2007 to almost $69 billion.
JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, set aside $314 million for buying back defective loans and incurred $1 billion in litigation costs caused mostly by mortgages, according to its Oct. 13 report. That brought the New York-based bank's total to at least $17.6 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Cost are mounting as borrowers, investors and states accuse banks of sloppy lending and improper foreclosures. The total may top $120 billion because mortgage buyers such as Fannie Mae are becoming more aggressive, said Paul Miller, the FBR Capital Markets & Co. analyst, and claims are spreading to loans written after banks said they reformed their practices.
