“Today’s announcement should serve as a stark reminder that no institution is too big, too powerful, or too well-known to be held accountable and face enforcement action for its wrongdoings..."

...except for the FBI, DOJ, FISA court, etc.

I have good reason to want to see them Bataan Death Marched into an African game preserve and let the animals eat them to the bone.

I went over to the Epoch Times article and immediately got a Firefox flag that they had blocked a “cross-site tracking cookie”. I suspect that if I went from FR to some lefty site they wouldn’t care a bit. Hmmm......

I’ve been an Epoch Times subscriber (daily internet + the weekly print edition) for about 6 months now. Great pub, extensive China and Asia coverage, in-depth articles, AND they actually report news! Check ‘em out - $1 for a trial one month subscription!

"federal authorities [???]"

Not good if non-elected swamp bureaucrats made this decision imo.

Remember in November!

MAGA, now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working PDJT a third term in office imo.

Wells Fargo should lose their charter and be sold off.

The actions were criminal, not civil. Thus only criminal punishment, i.e. jail time was appropriate.

Fining a bank for the crimes of its execs is like fining the parents of a teenage felon and letting the felon walk.

The largest banana republic in the world....from sea to shining sea.

“A stark reminder that no institution is too big...”
Just a fictional show that costs three billion dollars. It is just the State pretending they have more power than private industry.
I went into a Wells Fargo this week. Yeah, it is like using a dial telephone. I went with a senior citizen who still uses a check book and gets cash at the counter. Wow. The Wells Fargo employees went out of their way to be nice: water? coffee? sit down?

B of A and WF are too big and have failed. Both banks have major issues and they needed to fix them twenty years ago.

Capital One bank gets it right in my opinion.
