    How could they tell?

    "We are committed to making as much money as possible from usury, coercion, bribery, insider trading, extortion, and debit card fees as possible."

    Sounds a pretty accurate summary of the aims of every big bank - how could they tell this one wasn't from the real BofA?

        Maximizing shareholder value

        When a company exec starts using that phrase, it's time to start looking for a new place to work.

    A Well Deserved Lampoon of B of A

    As a joyfully former victim/customer of Bank of America, I can only laugh at this well deserved lampooning. It couldn't happen to a more despicable bank, except of course for Citigroup, HSBC, Wells Fargo, Chase, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs ad nauseam. Here in the USA we're ALL little peon serfs in the eyes of the Corporate Oligarchy. Thus we FAIL.

    As a one-time customer

    I would have thought they'd leave it up as a brag. Why the hell doesn't the Reg contact them about whether they removed it by mistake?
