Bank Of America Is Getting Sued By A Company That's 34% Owned By Bank Of America
 
How odd is this?

But also suing BofA, according to Bloomberg, is Blackrock, the asset manager that's 34% owned by BofA!

May be odd, but not at all irrational. Being partially owned by someone doesn't prevent a company from being potentially hostile to "daddy" and trying to throw him off while getting some cash via court in the process.

companies "sue themselves" all the time.

generally this happens because of some breech of contract or falling apart of some agreement between the two parts of the same company where two different management structures are involved.

does it make sense? no... they could settle it out of court and save a lot of money for both companies.

but hey... when is the last time you knew "management" to do much of anything that made sense on the front line?

BOA was one of the more corrupt banks in the financial crisis. so this lawsuit is no surprise to me. They're sins are coming back to bite them.

I recently switched all my banking to the Bank of Nigeria after the deposed president of the country sent me an email about the great interest rates they have...
