What a tangled web we weave -------.

Of course it begs the question do banks have any internal audits and controls in place.

Fifth Third Bank should be accused of having one of the dumbest names in banking. “Fifth Third” is very weird sort of number.

When one bank gets away with it, another follows.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is an unaccountable federal agency that is known for corporate shakedowns. Most banks, financial institutions, and consumer oriented companies don’t fight back and just pay the extortion.

Fifth Third will win because they have chosen to fight the charges in federal court.

It’s part of the fractional reserve system.

Yes, it was an unusual name. Bank of A. Levy (named after Achille Levy, the founder in the late 1800s) was a great local Bank to work at through mid-1990s.

They’ll win if I’m on the jury.

I’ve taken a decision that until a government agent goes to jail for their unlawful activities during the 2016 election, I’m prepared to dismiss any charge short of fully-proven murder (unless said murder is committed by an illegal on a family member of a democrat politician), I will absolutely vote not guilty in any case I sit jury for.

Gee. Maybe I should have believed those emails I got from Fifth Third saying my account was compromised. I believed I never had an account with that bank, but maybe I was wrong.

Fifth Third Bank is a really stupid name for a bank. The name alone means I would never go to them for anything!

This is the same kind of thing that got Wells-Fargo investigated and fined. BTW, Fifth Third is one of the "local" banks around here (it bought out Old Kent bank years ago) and has what is possibly the most stupid name of any bank or any other company, anywhere, ever.

Likewise, the tallest building here in Lexington, KY has the 5/3 logo on it.
