HSBC pays £38m to settle a Madoff case
Banking giant HSBC agreed to pay £38m to settle one of the many cases it faces for its role in the Bernard Madoff fraud scandal.
The class action lawsuit was brought by investors in Thema International, a Dublin-based investment fund which transferred £190m to Madoff.
The investors claimed they lost money because of HSBC's failure to alert it to problems surrounding the Wall Street swindler who is serving a 150-year prison sentence for orchestrating the world's biggest Ponzi scheme.
HSBC, which acted for many funds which invested in Madoff Securities, said the settlement was made 'without any admission of wrongdoing or liability'.
