第八巡回法院推翻了对BMO金融集团的564万美元判决, 8th Circuit Court overturns $564M verdict against BMO Financial Group concerning Petters' Ponzi scheme.

第八巡回上诉法院推翻了陪审团对 BMO Financial Group 的 5.64 亿美元裁决，该裁决与 Thomas Petters 领导的庞氏骗局有关。 The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a $564 million jury verdict against BMO Financial Group related to a Ponzi scheme led by Thomas Petters. 法院裁定,Petters破产公司的受托人无法追回损失,因为它参与了欺诈。 The court ruled that a trustee for Petters' bankrupt company could not recover damages because it had participated in the fraud. 因此,BMO预期扭转19亿加元的CAD准备金,从而在第四季度财务中预期有8.75亿加元的CAD税后福利。 As a result, BMO expects to reverse a CAD$1.19 billion provision, leading to an anticipated CAD$875 million after-tax benefit in its fourth-quarter financials.
