Not only was John Stumpf "retired" from Wells Fargo after the scandal of fraud was reported recently, he did not get severance/pension.
( Thanks to Eliz Warren, she called for him to lose his big bucks).
Now, turns out, he ALSO is being dumped from his board seat Chevron, effective immediately - says Twitter
These board seats of huge wealthy companies are vital to keep the Wall Street Mafia in power.
They pay a good chunk of change, plus all the insiders on each other's boards help plan more money grubbing schemes
and to support relationships with each other. People of industry are VERY connected via boards, private clubs, etc.
Being dumped is a HUGE thing.
and I suspect it won't be the last.

(24,461 posts)Wells got fined approximately $150 DOLLARS per fraudulent account opened. Meanwhile, credit ratings of all the customers these fraud accounts were opened under remained damaged, and investors have lost $21 billion in market value.
This isn't a punishment. This is bullshit.
