Comerica Settles ARS Probe With Michigan AG’s Office

By Securities Docket on September 18, 2008, 10:53 pm

Add Comerica to the lengthy list of banks settling ARS investigations with state Attorneys General.  Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox announced today that Comerica Bank will repay 1,500 investors more than $1 billion by the end of the year to settle an investigation by his office into whether the lender misled investors about the risks associated with auction-rate securities, according to the Detroit News.
