On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice revealed State Street had entered a deferred prosecution agreement, settling to pay a sum of $32.3 million to resolve charges concerning a purported scheme to defraud several bank clients by adding commissions to billions of dollars of securities trades. State Street also agreed to pay an equal sum as a civil penalty to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, ultimately resulting in an aggregate settlement of more than $64 million. The Company confirmed the allegations and agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement that requires the Company to use an independent corporate compliance monitor for three years.

When this information was revealed to the investing public, the value of State Street fell, causing investors harm.
