Wells Fargo, the 4th-largest bank in the United States, agreed on Friday to pay $3 billion for the bank's fake account scandal

for their roles in the sales scandal. The OCC also barred former CEO Stumpf from ever working at a bank again and ordered that he pay $17.5 million for his role in the scandal.

Wells Fargo claims that it has enacted measures with the goal of earning back the trust and confidence of its stakeholders, including clients, employees, investors and regulators. The bank intends to cease sales goals for its products and services, change the company’s compensation structure, so that it's tied to the best interests of its customers, and strengthen oversight of the large organization.

Dick Bove, a veteran Wall Street research analyst, believes that the bank faces a challenging future. Bove, “The turnaround of Wells Fargo is likely to take a minimum of three to five years. There are much better investments. Sell.” Bove maintains that about 20,000 employees—representing 10% of the workforce— may be downsized. Wells Fargo’s wealth management brokerage division saw a huge decline in its ranks.

A group of people may benefit from this fiasco. Compliance, legal, risk, audit and related professionals will see more job openings due to the settlement. The bank, pledging to increase its oversight, will most likely need people with a fresh perspective to join the bank to ensure this type of scandal doesn’t occur again.

'Dark Towers' Chases Scandal-Ridden Deutsche Bank's Mysterious Ties To Donald TrumpOne part of Deutsche Bank turned down Donald Trump's request for a loan. But the private banking division, which catered to the rich and famous, arranged the loan anyway — and then, when Trump stopped making payments, arranged another one. It seemed Deutsche Bank may have created that new high risk branch... specifically for his and other high rollers & oligarch’s loans... and or money laundering. And the boring attacks on the President, just dont stop, by wannabe 'news' media crap movers. Tbh if Democrats ever cared about corruption or ever wanted to legitimately impeach trump they would have pressed this issue harder. Definite syndicate activity... but Democrats care more about putting on a show than actual truth and justice...

That’s a lot of hospitals Let's wish them success in China, however it appears the cats out of the bag already for other countries. I hope China will be transparent with what they know and learn about the coronavirus to the rest of the world. Reports on Feb. 12 said the virus was contained. Apparently not. The truth is not being told. The flu kills more people, but you don't see cities shut down and quarantines. This virus is more dangerous by the looks of it.
