  1. Yes this is because the ncua is a rogue agency that ignored the executive order that there will be no more "settlements".
    And the retired ABA watchdog breaks the story, not CUNA or nafcu.

  2. So that's paid to the "lead" firms. Add to that billion all the funds paid to other attorneys, advisors, consultants and brokers for the NGN program; consultants and auditors to revise the books from GAAP to government accounting to make them obtuse; interest to the UST, and on and on... Would really like to know what the total expense is so far.
