Breaking Wells Fargo up is a fair and responsible solution
It doesn’t mean they would be shutting the bank down and it doesn’t mean employees would be losing their jobs. It just means they would be spinning off different business lines in to smaller more easily managed and regulated companies. It would be a... — read more
7/11 layoffs

Has WF hired a new head of mortgage yet?
Kristy Fercho announced she was moving to a DEI over a year ago, still no replacement? She was a disaster in her short tenure as head of home lending they had to promote her to get her out. Where’s the new mortgage president?
I think the bank’s story will end with it being broken up. See my reasoning below:
Four years have gone by since Charlie became CEO. We are still under the Federal Asset Cap with no word on an ETA, and violations continue to occur under Charlie’s watch. Regulators have accused Charlie of putting too much focus on profit-... — read more
