“Some blogs are speculating about rumors of merger talks with J.P. Morgan Chase, which are baseless and don’t even make practical sense,” the bank’s communications department said in a memo to employees yesterday that was obtained by Bloomberg. Jerry Dubrowski, a spokesman at Bank of America, confirmed the contents of the memo. The memo also rebutted a blog’s suggestion that Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America needs to raise as much as $200 billion as “just wrong.” “We have a clear path to meet the new regulatory requirements under Basel III and we intend to meet these standards without having to issue additional common stock,” according to the memo.
