Wells Fargo 2016
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2016 3:14 pm
For the last seven years or so, Wells Fargo employees across the world have opened accounts without 100% consent from customers.
There is currently an investigatory team in the Senate working on figuring out what is going on. The House hearings started about two weeks ago. Interestingly enough, the Senate investigation team is made up of 22 bipartisan Senators though only TWO of the members of the committee have NOT received money from the Wells Fargo Political Action Committee. One of the two un-Pac'd Senators, Elizabeth Warren, can be observed in her natural habitat: calling out bullshit corporate greed for what it is, here:

For the record, the other Senator is Republican David Vitter, LA. Twenty other members of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs are allegedly in the pocket of Wells Fargo's PAC.
Time to go find a new bank/CU,
