Merrill Lynch Stock Fraud

Merrill Lynch has agreed to a $100 million settlement with New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer who found shocking evidence that Merrill Lynch's stock analysts falsely upgraded research ratings for a wide range of stocks in an effort to attract investment banking business. Brokers nationwide recommended that investors buy stocks based on inflated ratings generated in New York. E-mail uncovered during the Spitzer investigation shows Merrill Lynch analysts inflated ratings (to make them appear to be very attractive or appropriate to purchase or to hold). Privately they labeled the stocks a "piece of crap" or a "piece of shit." Merrill Lynch made millions. Many investors lost their life savings.
