Another TBTF Gaffe

This time it's Citigroup. Last week it reported that Banamex, an affiliate in Mexico, had been defrauded of $400,000,000. This week Banamex received a couple of subpoenas relative to its affiliate based in money laundering activities. Both the state of Massachusetts and the FDIC accused Banamex of violating anti-money-laundering regulations. 

This is not the first time Banamex has been cited for not playing by the rules. In 2012, it signed a consent order with the F.D.I.C. and California Department of Financial Institutions to improve its oversight and tracking systems. This was also not the first time Citigroup had signed a consent order relative to compliance; it did so in 2011 with the Federal Reserve.
