Goldman to pay 5B mortgage settlement over misled investors
Goldman Sachs agreed to a 5.06 billion dollar settlement for misleading investors about mortgage backed securities before the financial crisis. The pact includes a 2.385 billion dollar civil penalty and 1.8 billion in loan forgiveness and relief to distressed borrowers, with 875 million to settle federal and state claims. The filing cites a February 2006 discovery of a flaw in six Countrywide loan pools, amid staff shortages, and notes a bullish Goldman report praising Countrywide stock as the closing deadline neared.
