Thats not a swastika.
True enough, the swastika is a 'moving' circular symbol, with a feeling of 'rotation' to it, but you can't simply call any symbol like that a swastika. The bank was around before the nazis, so why is the symbol a nazi symbol?

I think you should look at the 'date founded' and determine if it was before or after the nazis before saying its a nazi symbol.
And what are you saying exactly, that the secret leaders of chase bank are nazis, and that they interfered in the designs of that particular building to make sure that there was a swastika in it??? Or was it the designers that were nazis? Or the construction workers? Who?

All in the eye of the beholder, really. All depends what you're looking to see.
I don't regard the Chase bank logo as a swastika. If I were to take a piece of broad ribbon and my intention was to turn it into a stylised circular shape as my logo, it would end up looking like the Chase bank symbol.
Some are seeing a 'swastika'. Yet I see a circle.
Where are the 'arms' of the swastika in the Chase symbol ? Where is the central alignment ? It's a circle/square combination.
Wouldn't worry me if it were a swastika anyway (although it clearly isn't).

I don't think that it had to even be intentional to have that motif come up in the brick work. They seemed to want to have something around the black badge. Its just an archetectural flourish. It doesn't mean that the architect was a member of the Nazi party, let alone that the people that own controlling stake in the company that owns the building are nazis.
