Merrill Lynch Crisis

Transcript: What Happened? Meaning a million dollars in bonus money for every billion taken on in Merrill mortgage securities. Others referred to it as "the subsidy." One former executive called it bribery. The group was being compensated for how much it took, not whether it made money. Merrill Lynch History Alberto Orihuela Martel 2008 Crisis Merrill Lynch is the wealth management division of Bank of America. It employs over 15,000 financial advisors and manages $2.2 trillion in client assets. The company was founded on January 6, 1914, when Charles E. Merrill and Edmund C. Lynch became partners, in 1915 the name was officially changed to Merrill, Lynch & Co.
