IIRC there was a class-action(?) lawsuit against the banks which was with regards to the forged documents in the mortgage scandal (The one where people forged the signatures of people who had signing authorities when they lost the chain of ownership for properties under mortgage - this may have been 2008-9)

At that time, the bank(s) were batting for a settlement which I believe was opposed by the then DA of New York and 1 more. Most of the other DAs were on board.

I forget what happened to that particular lawsuit though.
