The disclosure in the bank’s annual securities filing comes after Citigroup said its Mexican unit Banamex had been defrauded of as much as $400 million.

Think of the people!

(Seriously, I get the sarcasm. I only wish it were otherwise and these crooks and scumbags would actually be treated under the law as if they were human beings and not some superior life force.)
