Lewis Staying Mum on Merrill Bonuses
By Zachary Roth - February 27, 2009, 3:49PM
Looks like Ken Lewis isn't so eager to reveal what he knows about those controversial Merrill bonuses.

ABC News reports that that the Bank of America CEO -- subpoenaed recently by investigators for New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo -- refused to provide the AG's office with a list of which company execs got bonuses, and how much they were worth. (For good measure, ABC adds that Lewis traveled to New York for his testimony in a $50 million corporate jet. You can see video of Lewis' arrival here.)

In response, Cuomo's office issued a subpoena to B of A to turn over that information.

The session with Lewis was "ugly and combative," in ABC's paraphrase of New York officials.

Merrill CEO John Thain earlier refused to divulge similar details about the bonuses during his own sitdown with Cuomo's investigators -- claiming B of A had told him not to. But after the AG's office obtained a court order, he was more forthcoming.

1. Cuomo's Will Eviscerate Lewis

Cuomo's hungry for higher office, and few things make for better PR than crushing bankers - just as Giuliani and Spitzer for details.

2. I hope you're correct but look what happened to Spitzer.

He was guilty, but the timing and fact it came out raised a little suspicion in me, especially as he was going after this sector.

3. My feelings on Spitzer

Is that with the NSA wiretaps, the Bush admin could zero in on anybody they percieved as their 'enemy'. I think Elliot was selectively nailed with a lot of help from the Bush admin wiretapping orgy.

Just a theory.
