The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. sued a group of banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) , Citigroup Inc. (C) , Bank of America Securities and Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) in two actions over mortgage-backed securities.
The FDIC, acting as receiver for two failed banks, filed the suits in New York federal court today seeking $77 million the banks allegedly lost on securities backed by residential mortgages.
