No they won't, and definitely not in response to the Chinese.
If they wanted to stop the Chinese scammers it literally would take 1-2 small changes they can implement in 2 seconds. Anyone who sells on Amazon knows the Chinese have way more priveleges/leeway due to Amazon's attempt to keep up with alibaba.

Wells Fargo fires 5,300 employees for creating millions of phony accounts https://t.co/akGWJjxD3G

The penalty is a joke. It should have run in the tens of billions.

If they would've had an amex structure instead of a WF structure, they wouldn't have needed the fake accounts to show growth.  ;D
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

A certain local banker did the same thing with unsecured loans to unwitting wealthy clients. That story hasnt come out...yet.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
