Bank of New York Mellon Corporation is the “custody bank” for all of these pension funds and others. BNY Mellon is being sued by the attorneys general of New York, Florida and Virginia for ripping off $2 billion from public pension funds around the country by overcharging for foreign currency trades. (The Wall Street Journal, Oct. 5)
