Why is the government persecuting Bank of America? Isn’t this a
bit Kafkaesque? The Feds practically forced the nation’s largest
bank to take over Merrill Lynch late last year, even after BofA
started having second thoughts once it learned of Merrill’s
mounting losses, so why are the SEC and the state of New York
mounting a vendetta against the bank, insinuating that BofA (as
opposed to the Fed and Treasury!) pulled a fast one on
shareholders?    • close     Robert B. Reich      Robert B.
