I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying I'm quite skeptical, especially with the claim from GMA, that was just an inference by them backed with no hard facts. Anyone have any credible sources?

Here is one for the PNC buyout of National City:

And a quick search yields information that BofA is upping its stake in CCB.
