Since the Securities Act of 1933, the Federal government has stood for full and fair disclosure of all material facts. Until today. Now, the Federal government is manipulating markets by mandating the CONCEALMENT of material facts. Ivan Boesky, Michael Millkin, et al went to jail for concealing material facts.

Obama is a total piece of sh*t.

You cannot be a good American citizen and not fight these monsters. Its time to leave the union and start over. The USA is broken...

At a later board meeting, on December 30, the BoA board stressed it was not influenced by the threat of removal and that it was only going along with the government's requests because of "serious concerns regarding the status of the US financial services system" were it to pull out of the Merrill deal

Then let them work for 0bama instead of BOA.

“Mr Paulson later testified to Mr Cuomo that he only threatened Mr Lewis “at the request of Chairman Bernanke.”


I bet it did not take much arm twisting for that revelation.

Also:
1. The threat to oust Lewis
2. Hiding losses from shareholders
I’m no lawyer but that sounds illegal to me.
