"who's helping you?" excuse me? what the fuck. must be a spoof.
It is a real promo ad, handed out by the bank Friday night at a party for Wall Street reporters. Snapped by a WSJ reporter.
If it was a spoof, some "joke."
a party for wall street reporters. oh gawd. 'remember all the parties and lunches we invited you to? wasnt it nice? remember the laughs and the good times. the celebrities you met? those with more money than fame? now whos your daddy!?!!!!'

BNY Mellon spokesperson says it was an ad create specifically for this event's (Financial Follies) program:

fuckers!
Bastards. They rule.

We've been on Wall Street since it was primarily a slave market. Slavey, it's not just in the South!
If the base of the building were a little wider on either side, it could look like it was giving the middle finger salute..
