The violations were uncovered following an investigation from 2007 to 2013. Deutsche Bank signed a consent order with the New York agency and agreed to an enhanced compliance and audit program, DFS said. "Due to Deutsche Bank's lax oversight in its foreign exchange business, including in some instances, supervisors engaging in improper activity, certain traders and salespeople repeatedly abused the trust of their customers and violated New York State law over the course of many years," said DFS superintendent Maria Vullo.
