It will come as no surprise to many people that Bank of America (BAC 3.37%) has a cultural problem. Namely, it can't seem to behave.
Over the last few years, the banking giant been accused of a laundry list of misdeeds.

But if he can't, then shareholders should prepare themselves for yet another decade of disappointing returns.
