Oops.
Oops.
Are the Wall St banks involved in the KWA bond deal going to get away with wrongdoing?
"JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, who along with a third financial firm underwrote the KWA bond deal, could have also faced similar financial penalties for failing to do their due diligence, "

"as outlined in the admin. order that preceded the bond deal, to ensure that necessary upgrades to Flint’s water plant were completed, such that the plant could safely treat Flint River water."
which agency is supposed to hold banks accountable for not doing due diligence?

"In 2020, the banks were sued on behalf of 2,600 Flint children for their “conscience shocking behavior” in financing the deal that led to “dire health consequences to the children of Flint”."

"This adds a new tragedy for the people of Flint who deserve to know the root causes of their suffering and to hold any financial wrongdoing accountable,” added Hammer."
