Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

I have a question….

Per the CFPB in Dec 2022, “Wells Fargo is a repeat offender, a corporate recidivist that puts one third of American households at risk of harm.”

Our top 5 primary offenses are Consumer Protection Violations, Mortgage Abuses, Banking Violations, Toxic Securities Abuses and Fraud.

[Google Wells Fargo Violation Tracker —you can sort by year, penalty, etc.]

My question is:

Do you think investors are now buying Wells Fargo stock because
a. they think our management team has proven they are now clean ethical and reformed? or
b. they think our management team has proven they will do anything to make a buck even if it violates people, communities and the law?

The company's short-term finances are better because Charlie has laid off 70,000 employees. So the cashflow looks better, and investing is all about what a company's cashflow today looks like. Nevermind if he's cutting the legs out from under the company's ability to operate as well 1 year from now when all our services are being done by the continual turnover, zero skill overseas labor pool.

You have to really sc--w up not to make money as a bank. Investors are betting on investcap being lifted. Buying back of stock certainly not hurting the price either.

Every year the company is worth less, and the best indicator of all that it's going to S is that Shart keeps using our profits to buy more shares.

Stock price is no longer driven by fundamentals. Investors are sheep.

You work at wells and know the inside state. ask yourself if you had $50000 would be stupid enough to buy wells stock at current price. Truth is wells management is playing everyone with smoke and mirror posturing around asset cap and layoffs. If they don’t do that Charlie and team will be fired. The problem is the regulators do not have good options with this bank. Anyone who is unbiased and has a milligram of brain cells knows Wells Fargo is a write off.
