Was 'screw the shareholders' BofA's attitude?Today, Congress may finally be closing in on an answer to one of the great open questions from the Crash of 2008: Why did Bank of America management not tell its shareholders about the mounting fourth-quarter losses at Merrill Lynch a few weeks before shareholders voted to approve BofA's billion acquisition of Merrill on December 5, 2008? Some members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform think they finally have found their smoking gun in a series of previously unseen documents that recount BofA's deliberations on whether to tell shareholders about the Merrill losses. The documents are said to include the advice BofA management received from its law firm, Wachtell Lipton, on the issue. Additional, fireworks may come from Tim Mayopoulos and Brian Moynihan -- former and current BofA executives, respectively -- who are expected to testify before Congress today.
