JPMorgan and Citigroup could also face fines for the collapse of five institutions at the heart of the nation's credit-union industry. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is threatening to sue several investment banks unless they agree to refund approximately $50 billion of mortgage-backed securities sold to five wholesale credit unions.
Regulators seized the five wholesale credit unions in 2009 and 2010, inheriting a pile of battered bonds now worth only about $25 billion, or half of their face value.
