..wha??? I have absolutely *no* idea what you're babbling about..
be specific..they are a banking institution not a charity
organization.  They do *not* lavish tens of billions on third world

events and internship programs...as well as being actively
involved with local community projects...all of these are
in the U.S., not overseas....
