I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I do not have real-time access to current news articles or databases. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces a wide range of laws, regulations, and acts related to consumer protection and antitrust issues, so it would be helpful if you could specify the particular law or act you are referring to.
However, I can provide you with some general examples of financial institutions facing legal issues related to consumer protection or antitrust as reported in the past. Please note that the information I provide might not be up-to-date:
1. "Wells Fargo Fined $1 Billion for Insurance, Mortgage Abuses" (The New York Times, April 2018)
This article discusses how Wells Fargo was fined $1 billion by federal regulators, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), for issues including charging customers for unnecessary auto insurance and mortgage interest rate-lock extensions.
2. "HSBC to Pay $765 Million in U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Settlement" (Reuters, October 2018)
This article highlights HSBC's settlement with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) over allegations of selling defective mortgage-backed securities. The bank agreed to pay $765 million to various government entities and pension funds.
3. "Goldman Sachs Reaches $3.9 Billion Settlement in Malaysia 1MDB Scandal" (CNN, July 2020)
In this article, Goldman Sachs is mentioned in the context of reaching a $3.9 billion settlement with the Malaysian government over its involvement in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal. The firm was accused of misleading investors and violating anti-bribery laws.
These examples may or may not directly involve violations of FTC-enforced laws or regulations, but they showcase instances where financial institutions were faced with legal consequences related to consumer protection, mortgage practices, or broader financial misconduct.
