Bank of America has been hit with a $1.2bn penalty for failures in its anti-money-laundering controls. The fine, reported by the Guardian, is one of the larger enforcement actions against a major US bank in recent years and reignites debate over how well large lenders monitor suspicious transactions and comply with financial crime rules.
Why now: The sheer size of the penalty against one of America's biggest banks makes it a major breaking business story.
