                   Having its Cake and Eating It

                   “In 2013, Federal Home Loan Banks in Boston, Chicago


                   and Indianapolis and Triaxx said that Bank of America put
                   its own interest ahead of shareholders. Since Bank of

                   America was offering lines of credit on second mortgages,

               Bad Bonuses:



               In a period when BofA received $45 billion in taxpayers

               funds the hypocrisy of awarding bonuses for failure is

               breathtaking:


                       • Bank of America and Merrill Lynch awarded its traders

                       and executives $5.2 billion in bonuses, despite
                       receiving a $45 billion taxpayer bailout.


                       • 11 Merrill Lynch executives and traders were paid

                       more than $10 million each, while nearly 700 were

                       received at least $1 million


               Not only does it thumb its nose at taxpayers and

               government but it does the same to shareholders.
