exposed Lewis' request for government cover from shareholder lawsuits stemming from BofA's troubled merger with Merrill Lynch
I started laughing, but I think it was out of amazement at the sheer size of this guy's cojones. Just ... wow.
Lewis requested a letter from New York Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson declaring that the government had ordered him to acquire Merrill's losses.
"Dear Fed: Hey, I'm about to be a goddamn idiot, can you cover for me? Please? Pleeeeeease? OMG IF YOU DON'T I'M TOTALLY DEFRIENDING YOU, YOU ASSHOLES. ~Kenny"
