Current Events-Babylonian Economy

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/08/20/bank-of-america-doj-settlement/14355935/

Bank of America has agreed to pay nearly $17 billion to settle federal and state allegations it sold risky, mortgage-backed securities to investors before the national financial crisis, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

The settlement, the largest in history between the federal government and a single company, is expected to be unveiled as soon as Thursday, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the official announcement.

So B of A is a "company"? And the Federal government is doing business with it? That's way too much government involvement but the "bailout" wasn't a get out of jail card....
