Bank of America settles with banks over Ocala losses

For Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas, the legal settlements close the books on what was one of the messier chapters of the financial crisis

Bank of America settles with banks over Ocala losses

Bank of America has settled a pair of financial crisis-era lawsuits filed by Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas over who should be responsible for losses tied to the multibillion-dollar fraud at disgraced mortgage lender Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.

Deutsche Bank's and BNP Paribas's mortgage units were investors in notes issued by Taylor Bean's Ocala Funding unit, a mortgage conduit. The two banks sued Bank of America, which acted as middleman between the investors and Ocala, for $1.75 billion in 2009 over their losses on the notes.
