BANK OF AMERICA’S $4 BILLION “ACCOUNTING ERROR”
Saw the story of Bank of America’s “accounting error” a few days ago and muttered something to myself about how they’ll just get away with this accounting fraud just like they’re getting away with the foreclosure fraud. After all, it’s … Continue reading
