New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) announced a $1 billion capital raise with investment firms including Steve Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital, as the struggling bank seeks to shore up its balance sheet. Mnuchin and former comptroller of the currency Joseph Otting will join the board, with Otting taking over as CEO. The stock, which had already fallen sharply, was halted for news pending and is now below $2 per share. This comes after a turbulent start to the year for NYCB, including a credit rating downgrade and the identification of internal control weaknesses.
