A former aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is among candidates being considered to ensure that banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. comply with any settlement of a nationwide foreclosure probe, a person familiar with the matter said.
Steven M. Cohen, who was the governor’s secretary, is one potential foreclosure monitor, according to the person, who declined to be identified because the negotiations are secret. That person said North Carolina Commissioner of Banks Joseph A. Smith Jr. is also a candidate, as did a second person who asked not to be identified.
