Under terms of the settlement offer from Nasdaq that was accepted by the Securities and Exchange Commission last month, a total of $62 million will be available to settle all claims, meaning that Citigroup and other affected firms will only receive portions of the proceeds they lost, and Dow Jones Newswires added that Citigroup is still pondering the pursuit of legal action against the exchange.
