Bank of America (BAC) closed at $53.96, down 1.14%, after the U.S. Treasury Department hit the bank with a $1.2 billion fine for anti-money-laundering and sanctions violations, with the bank allegedly failing to report over $5 billion in suspicious payments for years. The penalty is the third-largest in Treasury history, and the bank expects to take a $1.2 billion charge in its third-quarter results, cutting EPS by $0.17. Investors are awaiting Wednesday's earnings release, and the author argues the fine is not yet panic-worthy for a bank with a $350 billion market cap. In the same session, the S&P 500 closed at 7,805 (down 0.02%), the Nasdaq Composite at 27,204 (down 0.15%), JPMorgan fell 0.86% and Wells Fargo fell 3.08%.
