Drop in the bucket. They should have been shut down.

“Today’s multi-billion-dollar penalty holds Wells Fargo accountable for its unlawful sales practices and pressure tactics in which it deceived millions of clients, thus causing substantial hardship for the very individuals who placed their trust in the institution,”


I understand how these actions hurt investors. How did they hurt customers? Open accounts that no one was aware of or ever used would seem to do nothing but slightly decrease then increase one’s credit rating.

Wells Fargo and its execs pay NOTHING. The depositors do. This is a joke.

So no one at Wells Fargo will be going to jail for this? Or at least flogged?

Those slimy, sleazy, fetid, fecal, foul, malodorous, loathsome, detestable, wretched, horrific, vile, offensive, criminal, thieving, swindling, treacherous sumbitches should have been filleted up like a tuna and sold off like 7-Eleven franchises fifteen years ago, and left everyone from the branch managers to the CEO hanging from lamp posts outside. It would have saved me and my wife ten years of headaches and heartaches, and we weren't the only ones. *spits*

A WF employee told me about this today. Said last week Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway) sold his entire stake in WF. Wondered aloud to me about the insider trading rules.

They did it to me as a Personal Line of Credit. I had no knowledge of it. They had sent me a stern letter after someone had used it up. I called the president of my local WF and told them to stick it. Changed banks.

3 Billion is pocket change to Wells Fargo and means nothing. Except to the innocent shareholders who will be the ones who really pay.

How ‘bout some meaningful prison terms for those involved in the planning and execution of this fraud?

Actions speak louder than dollars.

Simply put, Wells Fargo traded its hard-earned reputation for short-term profits...

Their hard-earned reputation disappeared about the time of their last stagecoach run.

That is nowhere close to enough. Let’s go for twenty billion, cease and desist orders on senior executives and the breakup of the bank into four parts
