Caught cold...crash; Regulatory probes - Tradução em português

The bank, the UK's most valuable, is known for its financial strength. It burnished a reputation as one of the more conservative financial institutions in the runup to the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
But its US operations, primarily the lender Household, were caught cold by the sub-prime mortgage crash and plunged the UK listed firm into years of write-offs and regulatory probes.
