Wells Fargo Just Admitted to Robbing US Citizens by Deceiving the Govt and No One Was ChargedBy Matt Agorist On Friday, the largest US mortgage lender and third-largest US bank admitted to deceiving the U.S. government into insuring thousands of risky mortgages. According to the settlement, Wells Fargo admits, acknowledges, and accepts responsibility for having from 2001 to 2008 falsely certified that many of its home loans qualified for Federal Housing Administration insurance, reports Reuters. Wells Fargo also admitted to having from 2002 to 2010 failed to file timely reports on several thousand loans that had material defects or were badly underwritten, a process that Kurt Lofrano, a former Wells Fargo vice president, was responsible for supervising. The intentional deception by this corrupt bank led to an insurmountable debt liability for American taxpayers as the FHA was forced to pay out insurance claims on all the defective loans. As Reuters reports, Fridays settlement is a reproach for years of reckless underwriting at Wells Fargo, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan said in a statement. While Wells Fargo enjoyed huge profits from its FHA loan business, the government was left holding the bag when the bad loans went bust, Bharara added. However, Bhararas words ring hollow when looking at the banks punishment. For robbing the public through defrauding the US government, not one single Wells Fargo employee will face criminal charges. The bank was merely ordered to pay a $1.2 billion fine. This is barely a slap on the wrist considering the turmoil that ensued from such criminal practices. This punishment is also a kick in the teeth to the American public who are the ones who suffer most from these megabanks fleecing the country through irresponsible and fraudulent actions only to be quantitatively eased back into profitable standing. Franklin Codel, president of Wells Fargo Home Lending, in a statement, said the settlement allows us to put the legal process behind us, and to focus our resources and energy on what we do best serving the needs of the nations homeowners. Imagine for a moment that a rapist, responsible for raping thousands of women, was just let off with a fine and responded with a similar statement. Wells Fargo, who financially raped the public for nearly a decade, is essentially saying, I have been raping women for years, but we can put that behind us now and focus our energy on moving forward. And the government thinks this is okay. With their track record of letting megabanks run amok in the US, this settlement comes as no surprise. Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Citigroup Inc (C.N), Deutsche Bank AG (DBKGn.DE) and JPMorgan Chase Co (JPM.N), have all previously settled similar federal lawsuits again, with no one being held criminally responsible. Until the people wake up to the atrocities being carried out against them by criminal bankers who control the government, this fleecing of the citizenry will continue. To all those who bank with any of these huge banks pull your money out today, move it to a local bank, or find another alternative. Failing to do so only sustains their criminal behavior. Please share this story with your friends and family as it will most assuredly be a mere blip on their televisions and deliberately easy to miss.

Theyre not going to charge their co-conspirators. End of story. exactly. These criminals need more wet behind the ears ILLEGALS and REFUGEES to keep their ponzy scheme alive. Dont get caught when the balloon goes up. the entire (world over) banking is a ponzi scheme. Send all the bankers on a vacation to someplace sunny THE SUN. Vote for Hillary or Cruz and we will have another decade of consumer fraud by Wells Fargo and payday lenders, the financiers of Wasserman Schlutz and Paul Ryan. The Mafia Don (US Government) allows the made organized criminals (financial industry) to steal, defraud, loot the citizens. The Don takes a cut of the loot (fines). If you are not a made man (member of the connected financial community) you are deemed a common criminal and jailed (Bernie Madoff). Although I believe that the made men knew what Bernie was doing, reaped millions from his scheme and then threw him to the dogs.
