Megabank, Citigroup,
purchased sub-prime lender, Associates First Capital in 2000 for a little over $31 billion. The SEC, it seems, is quite interested in examining
Citigroup's accounting practices when it comes to accounting for AFC's tax reserves and releases. Citigroup/AFC also remains under the gun in a
long running investigation into the firm's (potentially abusive) lending practices.
