Reminds me of a joke.

What's the difference between a mafia skimming operation and an American multinational bank?

The mafia doesn't have ATMs.

I totally thought this was going to be a post on the history of BofA.

We'll make you an offer on a 30 year fixed you can't refuse. Capesh?

Here they're called Republicans.

Past Due, sadly, I think the Bank of Italy (later BofA) started out as a legitimate, honorable business. I could be wrong, I don't know that much about its history.

Bank of America could be purchased by the Mafia when the US government is too broke to bail out Brian Moynihan's baby a second time.

Don't forget that the original name of BoA was "Bank of Italy" when it was first founded in San Francisco.

Right and don't forget all the Italians who have been killed in Seattle due to racism, white bread.

@7@8

Bank of Italy was indeed the progenitor of BofA, founded by A.P. Giannini, and he was no mobster - he was one of the first banker's to look out for the little guy, and he loaned money after the SF quake on a handshake. His history makes a good read, sounded like a pretty fair fellow. I was living in SF when that last of the Giannini's resigned from BofA, saying the bank had totally lost it's way from "AP"s principles

@8 White bread? I have a feeling I'm much browner than you are. Much, much browner. ;-)
