September 2, 2011 –  WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. regulator sued a series of massive banking institutions on Friday more than losses on much more than $ 41 billion in subprime home loan bonds, which could hamper a broader federal government mortgage loan settlement with banking institutions. The FHFA accused key banking institutions, including Financial institution of America Corp, its Merrill Lynch unit, Barclays, Citigroup and Nomura, of marketing bonds backed by mortgages that need to have by no means been packaged into securities.
