Statement on Bank of America Settlement:
“The greed, recklessness and illegal behavior of Bank of America and other Wall Street firms caused a horrendous recession which cost millions of Americans their homes, jobs and life savings. Given the reality that, as part of the bailout, the Bank of America received more than $1 trillion in virtually zero-interest loans and that nobody from the company has yet gone to jail, this is a very modest settlement.”
