BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR WALL STREET & REGULATORS
On Monday August 3rd the SEC announced it was bringing charges against Bank America for fraudulently representing to shareholders that bonuses would NOT be paid to Executives of Merrill Lynch and then disbursing over 5 BILLION in bonuses simultaneously with the approval. Incredibly, BOA announced later that day that they had agreed to terms with the SEC and would pay a 33 million dollar fine to settle all charges.
