I do have to ask though..
Why does it matter if a bank CEO is a Freemason? Are Masonic bankers in some way worse than normal bankers?

For instance. If you are a new member then how do you know what the top ranking ones do?!

I wonder what interest rate return the Masonic lodges receive on their members dues?
Consider all the years they've been getting interest on this money? They must have a lot -- and this is putting it lightly.
It's like when you win a lawsuit and the attorney keeps a very small amount of that settlement ($300>) for 3 months until all bills have been paid, then sends you the remainder.
This money is invested into an account that will draw interest off of your money. They probably use three month CDs. So, not only are they getting their agreed payment, but they're also making money off of your money.
I'm sure a business has to claim this interest on their taxes, but a registered fraternal organization doesn't.
The freemasons probably have a lot of money. It would be interesting to see a pie chart of their books to see the breakdown of where all the monies are going and what percentage helps honest to goodness charitable causes.
