Minority shareholders of a Miami-based bank with ties to the Venezuelan government are weighing their options after a mixed verdict in a suit claiming the bank fails to comply with U.S. regulators.

Eastern National Bank of Miami has been under control of the Venezuelan government since 1999, according to a suit in U.S. District Court in Miami. The suit was brought by two companies that hold a small number of shares in Eastern National, Florida-based  Bancor Group and a Curacao company, Stitching Particulier Fonds Franeker. The defendants named in the suit were current and former Eastern National board members Gabina Rodriguez, Louis Ferreira, Keith Parker, Carlos Rodriguez and Gustavo Macias.
