Hits just keep coming for Wells. I wonder if they'll survive?

They had the cleanest noses in the Foreclosure arena so you know it had to come out elsewhere. Just like in the foreclosure crisis no one paid with criminal charges they will get away with this too.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

The difference is the public and Congress didn't understand CDOs.
They understand opening up fake accounts to gain more fees and they're looking for blood.

Yikes. But do you honestly think they won't survive? I think they are still a long way from that
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Not from this, but Congress is out for blood.
Wells is an easy target right now.

Oh they understood them well. The banks to this day continue to lie and cheat in the foreclosure process. They are allowed to get away with blatant lies every single day. I'm intimately familiar having fought Chase early on in their claim that they bought all WAMU's loans. If you read the purchase agreement they expressly did not purchase bad WAMU loans yet they continue to foreclose on them to this day, particularly no that the market has turned around. The FDIC was complicit in WAMU and other banks being taken over during the financial crisis. Thats why no one went to jail.

The public didn't understand what was going on, so there was no mass call for action.

In this case thousands of lowly Wells employees were fired for management greed and people were charged fees for accounts they never opened. That's something that the public demands action for.

We are definitely moving towards a world with much fewer people working and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income
I don't believe so. As things become cheaper and easier to produce the want for quality and quantity goes up, making us need more of the same item; or even when there are items for cheaper than before people wamt items that where untill now beyond thier reach, making that market bigger. The only law you'll Need to make sure the market is not dominated by a few people is an increase in monopoly laws.

I'm pretty sure there's (at least one) dedicated thread for this, but I'm too lazy to find it...

For anyone who didn't bother to click in and read, the men in question were Pakistani monks.

Of course. That would never be done for Jews.
