Senate Unites to Seize Pay from Failed Bank CEOs
TL;DR Summary
A bipartisan bill proposed by Senators Sherrod Brown and Tim Scott would allow regulators to claw back bank executives’ compensation from the two years before a failure and impose stiff fines on them. The bill would authorize the FDIC to recoup proceeds from stock sales as well as bonuses that executives receive in the 24 months leading up to a failure. The bill’s prospects in the Republican-controlled House remain uncertain.
