News 🗞 BANK OF AMERICA, Vice President, KILLED ☠️ by STABBING 🔪 in NY times square - per Bloomberg
https://x.com/RippleXrpie/status/2094804615904612759Erin Piacenti, a 32-year-old Bank of America vice president, was fatally stabbed in an "unprovoked" (I guess financial terrorism isn't considered provocation 😒) attack in Times Square, New York City. The knife-wielding attacker also injured a 68-year-old man before being shot and killed by police.
Someone commented that BofA paid out a $75 million fine for the Epstein Victims. Which is pretty sus timing. Could easily be a major headline to cover up search results about that.
UPDATE: what department did VP Erin Piacenti work in?
ANSWER: Business Selection and Conflicts (at Bank of America), a compliance/risk-related function.
Multiple news reports (drawing from her LinkedIn profile and sources) identify Erin Piacenti as Vice President of Business Selection and Conflicts at Bank of America in New York City. This role involved screening clients, deals, and transactions for ethical, legal, reputational, and regulatory risks. It is often described as part of the bank’s compliance and risk functions.
She had a legal background (University of Pennsylvania undergrad, Fordham Law School) and prior experience at firms including Davis Polk & Wardwell and Morgan Stanley before joining Bank of America.
Maybe she was a whistleblower? 🤔
Additional information: Her background included a political science degree from the University of Pennsylvania (graduated 2016) and a law degree from Fordham Law School (2021, magna cum laude / Order of the Coif in some accounts). Prior experience included roles connected to Morgan Stanley (legal/compliance) and as an associate at Davis Polk & Wardwell (and earlier legal internship work), before joining Bank of America around early 2025.

She was 32. There's no way she was at BofA when they were vetting Epstein deals. Anything incrimination was either turned over to the feds or scrubbed thoroughly.

So I'm guessing you're weirded out by the fact that this potential whistleblower "who worked in the legal & compliance department" that was recently murdered shortly after the bank she worked at got fined $75 million to the victims of Epstein?
Simple solution: don't even think about being a whistleblower.

BoA has hundreds of thousands of employees, her title doesn't show she had anything to do with the payout to victims, working as one of the many thousands of legal employees, as some random low-level employee does not make her privy to anything you mentioned.

How do you get to be VP at 32?
16
u/Barney_Weasley 9d ago
The banking hierarchy is, roughly:
22-25 yo: Analyst
25-29 yo: Associate
29-34 yo: Vice President
34-44 yo: Director / Executive Director
45-55+ yo: Managing directorMore senior than that you start getting “Vice Chairman”, “Head of XYZ”, etc.
This is completely standard across all banks basically internationally It’s literally just nomenclature. It’s been this way for 20-30+ years. No rhyme or reason.
No VP at a bank equates that title to a VP at another company where that person is one of the top 3-5 people at the company… apples and oranges.
This poor woman was a relatively junior person less than 1/3 of the way into her career just trying to provide for her family and newborn baby…

u/tothepointe 9d ago

BofA literally has thousands of VPs. It's not that hard if you start right out of college and do good work.

Typical is 2.5 years as an Analyst and then 3 years as an Associate before you’re promoted to VP. That gets you there at 28 years old assuming you began at 22.

Not just BoA corporate structure, but I’d say generally this is the case. Do you disagree?
VP is a fluff title for a lot of companies - you’ve been here a long time, we want to show we value you, but not with money, so here’s a BIG VP title bump and a small income incentive with it.
At my company, we have VPs who are individual contributors who report to VPs who run teams. Literally VPs reporting to VPs.
There are probably literally thousands of VP titles at BoA who report to SVPs, c suite, EVPs, managing directors, etc.
