Excellent article. Put her in the same category as B.J. Barney Fank.
If so what is the reason for a Union to "own" a bank?
Usually a business, church etc will form a Credit Union at arms length for their employee's parishioners etc, this all smells to high heaven to me.
Banking Professional Freepers please chime in...
Neither, it’s a money laundering entity.
More big-money/politics mixing. Wilbur Ross rescued this thing. Criticizes obama and then invests in a failing union bank.
