I agree that the he is both referring to the bankers in an agressive and passive sense, reflected in the dual titles.
Agressive in higlighting the bankers attitude as mentioned above.
PAssive in that he has removed the 4 digits aka L.O.V.E.

The Commune of Milano doesn’t seem to accept contemporary art despite being a booming center of creativity. Look at all of the controversy over the fantastic work of Claes Oldenburg and Coosije van Bruggen in Piazza Cadorna! The 18 m glass and steel needle and thread gives the whole zone energy, yet it was nearly not accepted.
to whenthecathedralswerewhite,
you don’t understand neither art nor other things. you should die believing the old traditions of 15-18th centuries, because you can’t see the world as it is now. you simply have no eyes.

i think this makes allusion to the rude attitude brokers have de facto towards victims of capitalism. They have no sense of responsability for the society they live in. they live the rude “grab the money and run” attitude. So I presume the direction is right, because the spectator is supposed to realize the offensive attitude bankers tend to have towards “silly consumers” (typical excuse of madoff and others)
