    In light of JP Morgan Chase & Co's run-in with Madoff & associates, which banks do you think are the most sinister and why

    They're all ing rotten. There's no such thing as "more" evil with these because its like comparing The Zodiac Killer, with Jeff Dohmer, with Charlie Manson.

    "They're all ing rotten"

    and they're all ing untouchable, beyond the reach of the law, controlling/capturing/corrupting the law enforcers and the law makers.

    Bradley Manning will probably be executed and Bidder70 ...

    ... will go to jail, but not one criminally fraudulent banker, or banker's criminally fraudulent lawyer s, have any risk of going to jail or even fines.

    My dealings with Chase on my mortgage (my mortgage got sold to them) have been beyond painful. They are unbelievably incompetent, will do NOTHING in writing (no letter response, no e-mail) and everything is on the phone with a different person every ing time.

    The Chase buyout of WaMu was very unfortunate. I had a couple of small WaMu accounts that went to Chase after the merge, and the difference from a customer service standpoint has been night and day.

    I'm currently with BBVA and they are OK. The customer service I have gotten has always been top notch which is why I stay with them. My only complaint is that as far as technology and cutting edge stuff goes they're a bit behind the curve and their website is a little less than intuitive.

    When they get bigger I'm sure they'll turn into what the others are too.

    BBVA is associated with one of the largest World Banks... Grupo Santander IIRC... they are one of the wealthiest en ies around.

    I'm not sure it serves analytical clarity at all to refer to banks as if they were demon-indwelt and to propose an award for most evil-est, but the sentiment is understandable.

    "serves analytical clarity"

    bull . The analysis that banks are out to screw everybody is crystal clarity. And that situation is irremediable. Changing to local banks is happening to small degree, but in general, changing banks is such a pain that people stay with the TBTF monsters and fee'd to death.

    I belong to a credit union. It's not a pain at all.

    Some credit unions are the way to go. Others that just grow and grow and grow are just as bad.

    I'll take my large and growing credit union, the one that has excellent rates and service and practically no fees to speak of, over any bank any day.
