As a taxpayer securing the future of public and private entities like Merrill Lynch and Bank of America, I am appalled at the actions of John Thain and Merrill Lynch. Unsure of who is managing these firms and Merrill Lynch's questionable history in financial scandals, I am appealing to Bank of America to make public the recipients of these bonuses with taxpayer funds, approximately $4 billion paid early in December to avoid oversight, and how much each individual received. I also ask that each individual reconsider their bonuses and return those funds to the taxpayer.
