Oh, this is just too good:
State Street Corp., the $2.6 trillion asset manager that installed the Fearless Girl statue on Wall Street, agreed to settle U.S. allegations that it discriminated against hundreds of female executives by paying them less than male colleagues.
The custody bank will pay $5 million to more than 300 women, following a U.S. Department of Labor audit that uncovered the alleged discrepancies, according to a settlement agreement disclosed Wednesday.The Labor Department alleged that women in senior leadership positions at Boston-based State Street received lower base salaries, bonus pay and total compensation since at least December 2010. The company said it has cooperated fully with the agency and that it disagreed with the findings of the audit, which was done in 2012.

So problematic, you guys.
I'm shocked that a bank's publicity stunt turned out to be a bunch of horseshit.

Hysterical. My take on this in February, when the ruse was obvious to anyone who cared: "The Stupidest Statue" https://t.co/Mp9sRY0BXQ https://t.co/idX9UUJtBV

Oh well. At least it’s not all bad news for State Street:
but hey, think of all the money they saved with word-of-mouth advertising thanks to the eager, lemming-like obsession w/ that stupid statue. https://t.co/OI6v0COhLo
