Sen. Warren urges DOJ to criminally probe Bank of America over $1.2B anti-money-laundering fines.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has called on the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into Bank of America following the bank's admission of willfully violating federal anti-money-laundering laws. The bank faced over $1.2 billion in civil penalties for failing to report suspicious transactions totaling more than $5 billion, including those linked to national security risks and Chinese money-laundering networks. Warren criticized the penalties as insufficient and demanded a DOJ response by November 12 on whether a criminal probe will be launched. This comes after regulators highlighted the bank's prioritization of revenue over compliance and ongoing deficiencies despite previous enforcement actions.

Bank of America shares are trading at USD 51.55, up 1.38% as of Oct 29, 2026 19:11 WIB on Pluang, with a market cap of $352.02 billion. Despite the recent call by Senator Elizabeth Warren for a DOJ criminal probe over anti-money-laundering violations, investor interest remains positive, reflected in a 60% buy order activity on the platform. The stock’s 52-week range is between $46.72 and $64.81, showing some resilience amid regulatory scrutiny.
