If bad behavior at financial services firms persists, they will have to be “dramatically downsized and simplified so they can be managed effectively,” according to New York Fed President William Dudley in a speech at a New York Fed event on reforming culture in the financial services industry. He pointed out that fines imposed on the largest banks have exceeded $100 billion since 2008. He also suggested that fines should be paid by company employees instead of shareholders.
