Do you understand that is not what happened here?  

The 5,300 fired employees were not from the higher echelons. 

 

Yes, Ethics training would recommend all the firings you mentioned, but sadly, Wells Fargo chose not to do this.

The gentlemen in the Senate hearing got away scott free, he still has his job after profiting from the system he helped install.  It was his desire that every Wells Fargo customer have eight accounts because eight rhymed with great.  His stock options rose $30.00 while under his leadership, making him a multi millionaire just off of the fake accounts he pushed.

As of Today, 9/20, 5:22pm,

"Investigations have been opened by the FBI and federal prosecutors in New York and California, as well as the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, which will hold a hearing of its own. A date for that hearing isn’t yet known."

You can read the transcript of testimony online.

 

Stumpf personally made $300M off this scheme from his personal stock holdings. On every single quarterly WF stock call he touted "buy WF stock because we are growing our customer base exponentially"!  That pumped the stock price.

 

Customers typically have fewer than 3 accounts with their bank. WF goal was for each customer to have 8 accounts. In the end, customers had an average of 6.71 accounts.  Average.

Wells Fargo did not take action against the top execs. The heat is on them now because the story broke. As it stands, the CEO still has his job and his millions.  

 

OK. Hearings will be held.  Investigations by the Feds will be done.

Meanwhile, he STILL has his millions.

 

I call that pretty close to "scott free" at least for the foreseeable future.

With all due respect, "no one is getting away scott free?"  Seriously??  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the gentleman who testified before the Senate today will be just fine.  The underlings who got fired for following orders?  Not so much.  Do you really believe that the guy who got fried in front of the Senate is going to suffer much? He's got his mansion(s), big fat 401(k), golden parachute, etc.  No one is getting away scott free?  Please...

Re: Wells Fargo Exec Taken to Task

Ironic personal little tale about WF.  About ten years ago, DH and I decided to spread some of our liquid assets among several different banks.  WF was one of them.  We went in, spoke to a teller and were directed to have a seat in the waiting area.  We sat and we sat and we sat.  The bank was empty except for us.  After about 20 minutes, we got up and walked out and took our business to another bank.

 

Kismet!
