Waters has a history of corruption. Waters helped steer bailout money in 2008 toward OneUnited; she failed to disclose that her husband, sidney williams, owned OneUnited stock and used to be a board member of the bank. Additionally, in 2002 Waters attempted to pressure regulators to block a merger between the Family Savings bank and FBOP Corp., to open the door for the Boston Bank of Commerce รขโฌโ the name of OneUnited at the time รขโฌโ to merge with Family Savings. While the regulators didn't uphold her request, Waters' public campaign eventually resulted in the Boston Bank of Commerce merging with Family Savings into OneUnited. Waters and her husband bought OneUnited stock in 2004.
This is why the George Soros-funded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has rated Waters as among the most corrupt members of Congress.
Waters' ties to OneUnited sparked a three-year ethics investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which resulted in the committee determining that she didn't technically violate any rules. They did, however, give her grandson and chief of staff, Mikael Moore, a slap on the wrist for going "behind the congresswoman's back to continue to lobby for special treatment."
"At best, that shows that Waters runs a haphazard office," wrote Phillip Wegmann at The Washington Examiner. "At worst, it suggests she deliberately took steps to avoid prosecution."
