Is my math correct? A back misled 100,000 people and got fines $80 per person? I don't know the regulations but that seems like a slap on the wrist. If a bank can afford to lend to 100,000 people, they can afford stiffer penalties.After a nearly three-year legal skirmish, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau appeared to have been victorious. A judge agreed in September with the bureau that a financial company had misled more than 100,000 mortgage customers. As punishment, the judge ordered the Ohio company, Nationwide Biweekly Administration, to pay nearly $8 million in penalties.
