The Journal reports that Bank of America has filed a lawsuit against the asset-management unit of Bear Stearns that oversaw the two ridiculously named funds–High Grade Structured Credit Strategies Fund and High Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund– invested in can’t miss asset class, subprime. Managers Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin have also been named in the suit, for allegedly misleading B of A about the “financial health” of the entities. According to an indictment from June, in March 2007, Tannin e-mailed a member of his team to say, “[b]elieve it or not– I’ve been able to convince people to add more money.” Unfortunately, the two weren’t arrested (again) today, but let’s get a replay of the dream team being taken downtown this summer.
Oh yeah, here’s Ralph being escorted to federal court in Brooklyn:

‘member this? It’s Matthew, patiently waiting his turn for the same:

Memories. That’s what it’s all about. These kids know what we’re talking about.

    Did anybody see that clown Ken Lewis from BofA on 60 minutes? He was saying how he got BofA out of subprime because he is such a visionary.
