Bank of America Agrees To Pay $8.5 Billion In Housing Crash Settlement

Bank of America Corp has agreed to pay $8.5 Billion to settle lawsuits from investors that lost money on mortgage-backed securities.  The landmark settlement may influence other major banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Wells Fargo & Co., to settle similar  mortgage claims brought by mortgage bond investors.  The settlement is believed to be the largest single settlement thus far by a bank with regard to the financial crisis often referred to as the “Great Recession.”  The settlement is subject to court approval.
