CEO Brian Moynihan has asked to meet with Attorney General Eric Holder to discuss a deal on mortgage fraud litigation, Reuters [reports](http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/06/20/us-usa-banks-holder-idUSKBN0EV0BV20140620 "undefined"). This type of request is unusual as meetings are usually brokered between law enforcement officials and company lawyers. It looks as if Bank of America is following in the footsteps of JPMorgan Chase, which settled a big case for $13 billion shortly after meeting with Holder. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2906232/bank-of-america-meeting-holder/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2906232/bank-of-america-meeting-holder/"},"headline":"Bank Of America Wants Meeting With Attorney General Holder","datePublished":"2014-06-20T17:35:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:32:50.908Z","description":"It looks like Bank of America is looking for a deal.","url":"https://time.com/2906232/bank-of-america-meeting-holder/","keywords":["Economy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd74bad776d910cd4/6986989ee53aba8d844d3436/485083837.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd74bad776d910cd4/6986989ee53aba8d844d3436/485083837.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bank Of America Reports Loss Due 6 Billion Dollar Legal Charge","caption":"Bank Of America Reports Loss Due 6 Billion Dollar Legal Charge","creditText":"Spencer Platt—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/economy/","name":"Economy"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2906232/bank-of-america-meeting-holder/","name":"Bank Of America Wants Meeting With Attorney General Holder"}}]}] ```
