Matthew  The occupy team might appreciate this: Erskine B Bowles, co-chair of Obama's Fiscal Commission, is a director of Morgan Stanley and former director of Wachovia Corp. His wife is a board member of JPMorgan Chase. His office at Carousel Capital is across the street from the Bank of America Corporate Center.

kevin  from an email by Palantir's Matthew Steckman about their recent pitch to Bank of America: "They are pitching the bank to retain them for an internal investigation around wikileaks. They basically want to sue them to put an injunction on releasing any data. DOJ called the GC of BofA and told them to hire Hunton & Williams, specifically to hire Richard Wyatt who I'm beginning to think is the emperor. They want to present to the bank a team capable of doing a comprehensive investigation into the data leak."

Clouseau  from the Globe in 2005:

"The decision, disclosed in an internal bank memo, cements Finucane's influence at Bank of America, which acquired Fleet for $48 billion last year. Of six Fleet executives appointed to high- ranking roles after the acquisition, only Finucane and Brian T Moynihan, who runs the bank's wealth management division from Boston, remain at the company."

Clouseau  Massey, who chaired Bank of America's CEO search committee, spends his summers in Cape Cod. Ken Lewis informed him, May, and Gifford of his retirement at a meeting in Boston in September '09.

The two other non-Mass directors on the CEO search committee, Powell and Holliday, were new to the board.

Clouseau  Charles Gifford helped keep Brian T Moynihan on at Bank of America

Then Gifford, Moynihan’s former boss at Fleet, and other board members nudged Lewis to find another spot for Moynihan.

“A bit scary willing to let Brian go,’’ Gifford wrote in an e-mail to another board member, a copy of which has been obtained by the Globe. “He’s a key character in understanding all that’s on plate.’’

Lewis’s solution was to replace general counsel Tim Mayopoulos with Moynihan in early December.
