Bill Singer's Comment
Okay, so lemme see if I got this right.  All that a broker has to do is telephone a bank and request credit cards in the name of bank customers, and the bank just accepts the phone order and sends out the cards -- apparently not to the customers but to the stockbroker?  Wow, now that's going to help me sleep at night.
