Fine = 298 million

Well, they're not alone:

Bank of America said second-quarter profit was $3.12 billion, or 27 cents a share, down from $3.22 billion, or 33 cents a share, in the year-ago period. That compares with analysts' consensus estimate of 22 cents a share, based on estimates compiled by FactSet Research.

Citigroup said its profit fell 37% from a year ago to $2.7 billion, or 9 cents a share, from $4.3 billion, or 49 cents a share, beating Wall Street expectations of profit of 5 cents a share.
