Those Footnotes Are Required Reading, Folks.

Ticker reads the footnotes.

It's not pleasant.

Bank of America's 10-Q:

The Corporation and affiliates, legacy Countrywide entities and affiliates, and legacy Merrill Lynch entities and affiliates have been named as defendants in a number of cases relating to various roles they played in MBS offerings.

"....material misrepresentations....omissions....underwriting standards....Securities Act of 1933.....State securities acts....seek rescission..."

Nothing to see here. Move along.
