Many homeowners waiting for their Superstorm Sandy insurance money complain about banks holding on to it. Now, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is shaming banks, putting 10 on the walk of shame.

Cuomo said his Department of Financial Services investigated and found 10 banks that are holding back 44 percent of Sandy insurance money. Insurance checks are issued to the bank, which  holds the mortgage, and the homeowner. It’s the bank’s responsibility to pass the money on to homeowners quickly.
