  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_the_Federal_Reserve_System https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_the_Federal_Res... "The U.S. Government does not own shares in the Federal Reserve System or its component banks, but does receive all of the system's annual profits after a statutory dividend of 6% on their capital investment is paid to member banks and a capital account surplus is maintained." So part of their profits go to member banks. Who are the member banks that profit from these dividends?

      That's a reasonable assumption, but I'd rather have a list of the companies involved.
