- Dear Bank of America,
- Thank you for your interest in Anonymous Olympia. After careful review
- of your actions, we have prepared the following open letter:
- Your institution is like a large, festering carcass that smothers all
- of the life beneath it as it wallows, decaying in its own gluttonous
- vastness. Nobody pretends that you're a decent banking institution
- these days except you, and we all know you're not. You're swollen,
- sallow with your own misdeeds.
- It blows our minds how anyone could still bank with you, or why they
- would want to. Your commercials smile and lie, but everyone can smell
- the bullshit wafting from behind those carefully constructed scenes of
- gentle middle-class life that you promote on television and in the
- lobbies of your bank branches.
- The way you nickel and dime your customers to financial death is
- disgusting, and you should be ashamed. A fee to close an account, a
- monthly fee to have an account, a thirty five dollar over-draft fee
- for as little as a $0.01 over-draft, a fee for bill-pay, the five
- dollar debit-usage fee.
- You're a vampire, Bank of America. You're a parasite, bloated with the
- blood that you suck from the financial life of your customers.
- Shall we mention your colluding with Visa and MasterCard to keep ATM
- fees outrageously high? Or all the times that you illegally and
- wrongfully foreclosed on the homes of families that banked with you,
- leaving those families homeless, their lives ruined? Or the miniscule
- amount of taxes that you're supposed to pay, but don't?
- What about the six former Bank of America employees who came forward
- and revealed your despicable practices, including rewarding employees
- who managed to place ten or more mortgage accounts into foreclosure in
- one month with a $500.00 bonus?
- We suppose a financial institution with your track record of being
- evil could justify spying on a group of average citizens who were
- attempting to exercise their right to air grievances through public
- assembly, but that doesn't make it right, and it doesn't make what we
- do any of your business, either.
- In fact, your actions directly violate our constitutional right to
- privacy. The fact that you worked with Washington State Patrol to
- share information represents a terrifying fusion of financial and
- state interest, one that I hope keeps your employees up at night.
- Fascism is defined as a merging of state and corporate interest, so
- make of that what you will, Bank of America.
- We know that you were asked to comment on your spying, but declined to
- do so- this leaves us with little hope that you will hold yourself
- accountable for this and other actions, so we're going to start
- holding you accountable, instead, and we're going to ask all of our
- brothers and sisters to join us.
- You may have been watching us, Bank of America, but we've been
- watching you, too, and our memories are long.
- We do not forgive, we do not forget.
- Regards,
- Anonymous Olympia
