Earlier this year, State Street agreed to settle related criminal and civil probes over the men\u2019s alleged misconduct for $64.6M. That&#8217;s a $32.3M criminal penalty to the US Justice Department and a $32.3M civil settlement to resolve the US Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s case. As part of the settlement, the firm admitted that it overcharged six clients of State Street\u2019s transition management business by secretly billing them commissions on billions of dollars in securities trades, including equity trades and fixed-income trades. In 2014, State Street also paid a $38M fine to the UK Financial Conduct Authority for charging the same clients mark-ups for certain transactions.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/blog\/two-former-state-street-executives-plead-guilty-institutional-investor-fraud-involving-billions-dollars-trades\/#more-6157\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the three ex-State Street Corp.(STT) executives whom US prosecutors have charged with bilking six clients via secret commissions on billions of dollars of trades have agreed to plead guilty.
