Eagle Bancorp Inc, of Bethesda, Maryland, will pay $19.5 million in civil fines and more than $3.35 million in disgorgement and interest to settle with the Federal Reserve Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the regulators said on Tuesday. Ronald Paul, 66, of Potomac, Maryland, an Eagle founder who was CEO from 1997 until he retired in 2019, agreed to pay about $521,000, of which $390,000 represented civil fines. The Fed permanently banned him from working in the banking industry. Neither Eagle nor Paul admitted or denied wrongdoing.
