Break up Bank of America?

posted by Melissa Jacoby

Steve's title was subtle, so in case anyone missed it, here are the materials on Public Citizen's website. The petition calls on the Federal Reserve and the Financial Stability Oversight Commission to use their authority under Dodd-Frank to break up Bank of America. (But still check out Steve's analysis on Dealbook!).

Comments

This only makes sense if the break-up includes an unwinding of all the paper shuffling B of A has done in the last several months to load up its federally insured accounts.

what a pathetic joke. there is only one, massive (corrupt, all-powerful) financial institution in this country, and that beast isn't going anywhere. a bank of america by any other name is still an american bank.

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge). To request a subscription on Bankr-L, click on this link and then click on the link for "Join or leave the list." After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless (rlawless-at-law-dot-uiuc-dot-edu) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
