Bank of America executive moons boss

By Devin Warren

Back in 2005, Jason Selch, an executive at Bank of America, mooned his boss at a

meeting in Columbia because his friend was fired for not excepting less money. This took place

after a merger between Bank of America and Columbia Asset Management.

After Jason heard of his friend being fired he went to a meeting of his higher-ups in

Columbia to complain. Once there he threatened to quit and go work for another company

however they did not listen. After realizing the threat wouldn’t work Jason turned around, pulled

down his pants, and then left. However, even after mooning his bosses he was not fired. Instead

he was given an official warning until the CEO of Columbia Asset Management heard of the

mooning and demanded he be fired. If Jason had stayed with the company for a few more

months he would have received a multi million-dollar bonus. Jason did attempt to sue Bank of

America however, the court ruled in favor of the bank.

All you students out there who might be thinking I really just want to pull down my pants

and show my teacher what is up, there is nothing they can do to me. Just remember while you

might not lose millions of dollars there are still many punishments awaiting you. Including the

loss of a priceless ticket-your diploma.
