Elizabeth Warren Rips Wells Fargo's CEO A New One

[@davetheauthor9885]

If any one of us did something fraudulent like this, there would be no question that we would face criminal charges. And that's the problem with this country. This CEO needs to go to prison.

[@HideousConformity]

People like him also need to get hit where it'll hurt them the most - whatever they keep their money in. Seize everything they own - *everything* - and garnish whatever income they might have from that day forward. Use that money to recompense people that got screwed over by their sociopathic greed, while those scumbag CEOs live out the rest of their days at subsistence level.

[@davetheauthor9885]

HideousConformity Amen to that!

[@daemn42]

You stealing money from a bank is a crime. The bank stealing money from you, is not. It's always been that way.

[@0raivec]

This double standard BS is why the law is getting no respect. It only works one way, from the top down. I could care less if Warren humiliates this guy in public. Who cares, he still skates away with enough money to go on a luxury vacation for the rest of his life, and still leave a small fortune to his children.

[@daemn42]

Woohoo Agreed, but simply not buying one brand of junk food in favor of another, doesn't cost the consumer much of anything. Moving your money and/or debt around costs potentially a lot of money and time. Wells Fargo will feel this hardest exactly where this sales campaign was targeting. If someone has one financial product (like a mortage) with them, they are now *much* less likely to add another (checking, credit cards, LTEs, etc). It boggles my mind that they were trying to get each customer into *eight* financial products. I don't think I've ever had more than 3 at one bank.

The beauty of the free world in action. CEO sets policies for his employees, pressuring them to perform fraudulent acts -- basically robbing his customers. Makes a shit ton of money out of it. Gets busted. Blames it on his employees, fires 5300 of them. Does not resign. Company gets fined for about $185mil. He forgoes $41m, could walk away with around $200m. Meanwhile, 5'300 people are still unemployed, and customers do not see their money back. The guy's soul is darker than my black asshole.

So I ask you this my friend (I already know the answer to when he said it, HE DIDN'T) what would you do if all money was decided equally amongst all Americans? Go to the government and ask for tax breaks cause you don't want to give it to all the new comers from all over the world would be my guess. Shoot yourself, no sense in slowly stabbing yourself in the eye. JACKASS

[@clerns]

A flat tax break inherently benefits the rich more than any other class. Proportionally, a person making 750K+ is getting a bigger break than a guy making only 30K.

How is this not ID theft??

[@marko3296]

This is not a punishment, its an incentive for other bankers to be corrupt. If somebody told you that a penalty for stealing 100$ is 15$ , you would be doing it too. So you take the risk, and if you get caught, you pay the fine and do it again..

[@ashishhnk]

What could possibly the reason for the dislikes for this video?

[@PanickedTato]

Lately I've noticed the dislike button being used to rate the situation and not the content (i.e. I dislike Wells Fargo for doing this).

[@Testing725]

people who voted clinton over sandera are pro big banks

[@MrWhit-mp2vn]

I'm sure there are plenty of folks who just auto-dislike anything with Colbert or Warren. I doubt they even watched the clip.

[@Kareragirl]

+oli godendrocyte Is "Sandera" Bernie's Mexican counterpart?

[@ildlyn8966]

or a typo you like-hunting shitface.

[@jamesdollar3849]

I shit you not, right after this video was an ad for Wells Fargo, yellow background and a lady saying you can get free financial advice.

[@nategross997]

Am I the only one who thinks Stumpf sounds like Drumpf?

[@SkyNeely]

All reporters should question politicians just like that! Demanding an actual answer to the question that is asked.

[@christsuke873]

Screw big banks

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

right Wells Fargo just didn't happen to contribute to her campaign or lobby to her office. results of Warren's questions? ZIP.

[@SagaciousNJ]

They'll keep doing this until the penalty is death for the executive in charge.

[@angelrodartejr.9948]

And people say government regulations kill business. It's what keeps us safe at night from the real criminal: Corporate greed.

[@DiscoPickle102]

That Wells Fargo guy's pretty funny. Guess you can't trump the Stumpf.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

This story has a lot of bad Stumpf going on in it.

[@Starteller]

She only barked at him. No bite. Wells Fargo left with a big smile.

[@shannon32693]

ARREST THEM, IM SO DONE WITH RICH THIEVES

[@gap949]

Stumpf rimes with Drumpf !😆

[@unvergebeneid]

So ... why isn't this election Jeb Bush vs. Elizabeth Warren again? Sorry, but I just crawled out of parallel universe where things made sense and I'm still trying to adapt, so be patient with me.

[@Blunderful19]

Welp, there's another place we'll need to build a wall. Run back while you can. And take me with you. D:

[@tripjet999]

Not too long ago, I went to a Wells Fargo to get change for a $50.00 bill. The teller asked for my I.D. ! I replied that that request was a great way to make sure that I NEVER would become a customer of their pathetic "bank."

[@sakk1192]

I don't know why people are surprised, this is what esp USA is all about taking from little guy to make the few fat cats rich. That's the American nightmare

[@DanielWatches]

A cashier can lose their job for pocketing a few 20s from the register and possibly jail time, yet bank executives can you rob you blind and continue making millions smh

[@dojokonojo]

Make America Eight Again!

[@MarkJohnson-jx3zr]

Is it weird that I was shown a Wells Fargo advertisement before this video?

[@DriftSpaceZero]

Go visit your local credit union, people; credit unions are non-profit, community-run financial institutions with the same level/amount of Federal financial protection for patrons as corporate banks. If you're worried about ATMs: credit unions cooperate so that you'll actually have more ATMs available to you than with a typical bank, and you can access your credit union account from most other credit unions in the country. Can you access your Bank of America account at a Wells Fargo branch, or use a CitiBank ATM to access your Chase account? No, you can't, but credit unions are different; credit unions are better, and don't compete with your money for profit. Credit unions invest in your neighbors and their businesses. I used to be a Wells Fargo employee, and the week I quit was the week I was finished with big banks; it was a soul-crushing experience, and I felt like I was encouraged to rip people off every day. Every month we had to meet sales goals (as "Sales Associates" at our "Store" according to internal communications) and we were encouraged to get people to sign up for as many "products" as possible to make closing their account(s) as difficult as possible. Direct Deposit, Checking & Savings Accounts, Overdraft Protection, Credit Cards, Personal Lines of Credit, and many more are the "products" we were encouraged to sell. Get out of big banking; it may seem like a pain in the ass, but that's what they want: that's how they get you.

Fun Fact: Stumpf is the german word for blunt or dull. :D
