employee had been made to watch a training video. The film portrayed Adolf
Hitler as the CEO of Deutsche Bank, one of BNP's competitors and the Nazi soldiers around
him as Deutsche Bank executives. The video showed Hitler screaming at the soldiers. Also,
his colleagues made a number of anti-semitic comments during his time at BNP Paribas.[53]

Business with sanctioned countries

On 30 May 2014, The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States Department of
Justice was negotiating a possible guilty plea with BNP Paribas as well as the size of the
resulting fine for violating U.S. regulations and evading US sanctions. The Justice Department
sought a fine of more than US $10 billion, which was expected to be reduced to $8 or $9
billion in negotiations.[54] BNP Paribas was said to have laundered up to US$100 billion from Headquarters, Paris
the sanctioned countries of Sudan, Iran, and Cuba.[55]

On 1 July 2014, BNP Paribas pled guilty in a New York state court to falsifying business records as well as conspiracy
in connection to those falsifications. It was also expected to plead guilty in federal court to violating laws against money-
laundering.[56] It agreed to pay $8.9 billion, the largest fine ever for violating U.S. sanctions, and substantially more than
the previous record of $1.9 billion.[31][56] BNP Paribas was also barred for one year under the plea agreement from
certain US dollar-dominated transactions. The fine exceeded the bank's $6.4 billion 2013 annual income and the $1.1
billion it previously had allocated for the anticipated fine.[56][57]

The bank's failure to cooperate with the multi-year investigation was given as a significant factor in the size of the fine.
Additionally, BNP Paribas continued to process sanctioned transactions after the investigation began.[56][58] After the
fine was announced, BNP said it would be "just fine" and that it had "a comprehensive plan" to avoid similar violations
in the future. The company's stock, which had fallen 12% since news of the investigation first leaked, rose 4% on the
announcement.[56][57] To comply with the transaction ban, BNP Paribas will use a third party to clear its US
transactions.[59]

Check processing

In 2010 the French government's Autorité de la concurrence fined BNP and 10 other banks €384 million for colluding to
charge unjustified fees on check processing, including extra fees during the transition from paper check transfer to
"Exchanges Check-Image" electronic transfer.[60][61]

€152 million risk management affair

The German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung[62] FOCUS,[63] Bloomberg[64] and the French Les Échos[65] newspapers
published an article regarding a €152 million mistrade (erroneous trade) in which BNP Paribas Arbitrage was allegedly
involved.[66][67] The bank has sold securities for €326,400 to the investor Armin S. but the value of the securities is
€163 million according to the bank. According to the article, the error remained unnoticed for several days. BNP has
even reconfirmed the original price.[68][69][70]
The Financial Times published an article in March 2018 about the case with the title "BNP Paribas failed to book trades
in Germany for a week". It cites internal documents that show it did not book all trades that happened in structured
products in Germany from 2 to 9 December 2015. The Financial Times estimates that 8,500 trades might have been
affected. It also questions if the bank has hedged their positions if the trades have not been booked.[71][72][73]

Sponsorship
BNP Paribas has been a major sponsor of tennis. In 1973 it became the major
sponsor of the French Open, one of the four prestigious Grand Slam
tournaments in the sport. In 2001 the bank began to sponsor the Davis Cup
before becoming the title sponsor in 2002. In 2002 it became the sponsor of the
Paris Masters, an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament.

In 2008 it became the sponsor of the BNP Paribas Primrose Bordeaux, an ATP
Challenger Tour tournament. The company's sponsorship expanded to the
United States in 2009 when it became the title sponsor of the Indian Wells 2011 Davis Cup in Zagreb
Masters, an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 two-week tournament in California.
It also sponsored the BNP Paribas Showdown and BNP Paribas Tennis Classic
exhibition tournaments held in New York City and London respectively. The Stanford Classic, since 1992, is instead
directly sponsored by the Bank of the West subsidiary.
