Banks reach $154.3 million settlement on “dark pool” fraud
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Two major global banks, Barclays and Credit Suisse, will pay a combined $154.3 million to settle state and federal investigations that they misled clients about the safety of trading on their “dark pool” financial exchanges, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Sunday.
The banks left their customers on these private exchanges vulnerable to “predatory, high-frequency traders” that could intercept their financial trades, despite assurances by Barclays and Credit Suisse to the contrary, according to a draft statement from the New York Attorney General obtained by The Associated Press.
“These cases mark the first major victory in the fight to combat fraud in dark pool trading,” said New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in the statement. “We will continue to take the fight to those who aim to rig the system and those who look the other way.”
The SEC and New York Attorney General had planned to announce the joint settlement Monday before it was reported by The Wall Street Journal Sunday morning…

MONTREAL – Canadian food banks hope that the pinch they’re feeling from rising food prices isn’t snowballing into a full-fledged crisis.
While each agency has unique circumstances, many say higher prices during the peak winter period are limiting how much food they can purchase and having an impact on donations while also spurring a greater demand for their services.
“The difficult thing for any food bank is trying to prepare for the year ahead and what might happen in a situation like that,” said Michael Maidment, executive director of the Ottawa Food Bank.
Fresh produce prices began to surge after Christmas as adverse weather in U.S. growing regions and a weaker Canadian dollar caused the cost of imports to soar. Some food banks shifted what they handed out, turning more to canned and frozen goods. Most tried to access locally grown produce, particularly root vegetables.
But Maidment said vegetable vendors have warned to expect higher prices for those items too due to the greater demand…
