It wouldn't be surprising to see the whole banking sector come under pressure today, though we wonder if the lack of news about, say, JPMorgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) suggests they're okay by comparison.

Meanwhile, this news is bad for Ken Lewis who faces shareholders tomorrow. He now needs to reconcile this with past statements about repaying TARP, while also answering for all the Merrill stuff.
