I notice these guys have sold a lot of unsecured bonds for JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Visa. You would think these companies would be quite capable of selling their own damn bonds. Why go through Loop Capital? Must be some kind of money laundering or Obama cronyism involved. At they very least, they are stuffing the teachers' pensions with Wall Street swill in exchange for kickbacks and diversity feelies.

And that's the other thing. The more I read about them, the more I get the impression that besides Chicago-style corruption, their business model is "We be black investment bankers n sheeeeit… so gibsme dem gibs, suckas!" This shit is getting damn tiresome.
Other bond issues of possible interest are Duke Energy, Colonial Pipeline, Westar Energy, CBS, DomNews, Oncor Electric Delivery, Enbridge pipeline, GMFC, Virginia Electric Power, Exelon, Union Pacific, Du Pont, Northern Trust, Southern Co. Gas, Marathon Oil Corp, Denver Airport(!!!), ComEd, Union Pacific, California, Connecticut, New York, Verizon, Qualcom, Comcast, AT&T, Charter, and McDonalds.
Energy companies, utilities, telecoms, and broke commie states would be great for arranging all sorts of kickbacks, pay for play etc.
