Manage episode 350305721 series 2636706
Big news in the world of banking today. Wells Fargo, who set aside $2 Billion last quarter to cover any potential penalties that the CFPB would impose on them, got hit with 2x that amount, $3.7 Billion for those violations in a stunning news release by CFPB
Denying mortgage modifications, charging surprise overdraft fees, and illegally repossessing vehicles are just the tip of the iceberg with Wells Fargo, who was called out for not fixing their issues fast enough.

I also make the bold prediction that CEO Charles Scharf may not survive into 2023. Listen now!
