Royal Bank of Scotland has agreed a $4.9bn (£3.6bn) penalty with US regulators to end a long-running probe into its actions during the financial crisis.

***** - we've had our money back from the bail out basically but this is a piss take.
Pick a better bank.
"Reaching this settlement in principle with the US Department of Justice will, when finalised, allow us to deal with this significant remaining legacy issue and is the price we have to pay for the global ambitions pursued by this bank before the crisis."
Ambitions? Ambitions?
You pay billions for ambition in a fine and to end an investigation....really....
Thank God they didn't do anything criminal, dodgy and against the rules!
I can hear Bernie Madoff and that ilk launching appeals on the basis they were 'ambitious'.
