    Just for clarity, could you please provide reference regarding the
    Bank One ATM claim. To my knowledge, the publically reported Banks
    affected were Bank of America and Washinton Mutual.

    Also, to clarify, Bank One is currently the Nations 6th largest bank,
    with Citigroup holding the No. 1 spot both nationally and
    internationally. Even after the expected successful merger with JPMC
    is completed, the combined entity will tenuously hold the No. 2 spot.

    Just like to get the facts straight.

    Thanks.
