Compared to those multi-billion dollar ones, this fine is NBD.

Deutsche Bank AG has agreed to pay $55 million to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle allegations it hid paper losses of more than $1.5 billion during the financial crisis that began in 2008. The giant German lender said it didn’t admit or deny the allegations and that no charges were brought against individuals in the matter.

Those shares DB awarded you to make up for the ones you were leaving with your old employer? They're going to need those back. Deutsche Bank has become the first global bank to introduce rules allowing it to strip staff of bonuses they earned at previous employers in the latest crackdown on pay. The largest European lender by assets has significantly tightened its bonus rules this year, enabling it to take back unvested shares that newly hired senior staff received in exchange for stock earned at another bank. The German banks’ stricter bonus rules, which came into force in January, apply to all new senior hires considered to be involved in the bank’s risk-taking, a spokesman said. These more than 1,300 “regulated employees“ include managing directors in the corporate and investment bank and members of the management committees of all other units. One recruitment expert warned the rule could make it harder for Deutsche Bank to attract senior talent as the potential job candidates might not be willing to put at risk stock earned at a previous bank.
