So many reasons why the U.S. is going to shit and not because gay marriage is legal now, which my grandpa believes

Iceland also declared bankruptcy recently and the general public wants someone to hold responsible.

How does a gold parachute cost $134 mil? Secondly that is a lot for a parachute that wouldn't even function properly.
madetheaccountjustforyou
The Wells Fargo CEO didn't rip off any customers. I doubt he's ever even talked to a customer.

We should make the most crooked ones fight each other on some shitty reality show. Better yet, make them sing and dance badly for freedom

Where's the guy who usually says that this could never work in America because big country and 325 million people and yaddayaddayadda?

Not defending the bottom, but the upper also meant that Iceland's back to fish-based economy as investors stay the fuck away from it...

Iceland defaulted on loans to European countries, screwing them over, they are selfish crooks.

Golden parachutes are very common for executives. The wonderful world of corporate ethics

The only difference is Iceland didnt know about the bank scheme. America did and was prepared to bailout.

Wtf America!

Also that two big pieces of legislation that was supposed to stop this kind of thing from happening didn't work...

Ya well our mortgage crisis was our governments fault. This shit about Wells Fargo is a witch hunt. The Community Reinvestment Act

prevented "discriminatory lending" by forcing lenders to accept high-risk borrowers on mortgage loans even though they could not afford it.

iceland profiited of European finance for decades, then soon as the crash happened they refused to pay their debts. No excuse.

Iceland is assessment like that; they didn't bail out the banks, they sent the crooks to jail. What a concept.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
Did some research - the Icelandic bankers committed crimes like insider trading, tax evasion, and a version of money laundering.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
Those things would get bankers jailed in the US, too
Muchbeefsodinner
They didn't bail out the banks because they have a population of a midsize american city. They're a shitty example.
GreatTeacherMichael
The banks weren't bailed out for the sake of the banks, they were bailed out to prevent a massive global depression that would hurt everyone
Wormbo2
Learning to use less electricity, walk a bit more and enjoy people wouldn't be all bad
LockeLongmast
Yeah but the boards and C-suites of each bank could probably have used a few years in jail as punishment for putting us in that spot.

While you're not wrong, A, it's not in their job description to nanny the world, and B, some things are out of their control
VoidIncarnate
Nanny the world? They were directly responsible for the financial crisis by hiding their risks and reselling them.
earlywormy
It isn't in their job descriptions to ensure people don't buy bad deals. It's sleazy, but it's not their job.

Intent to rape is not the same as rape. What is this a thoughtcrime
UnspokenX
there was a literal mountain of evidence against him, but they decided against it to "not hurt his sports career." their actual words.
GadenKerensky
There was no 'intent', he was DOING it.
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
Legal precedent involving espionage laws being used for actual espionage proves that charges wouldn't stick anyway. Comey explained this.
mrhatnklogs
I also remember the part where he said other people would get different treatment if this happened to them.
TheThirdKindofHeat
In reference to administrative discipline or sanctions if the person was still working for State. That statement was not regarding charges.
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
They still shouldn't face charges. He mentioned administrative sanctions, but she's no longer SoS. It's not right but also not illegal.

I wondered how much he was going to get for all this.

Am I... Am I really getting downvoted for being upset the CEO of Wells Fargo gets to screw people over and walk away with millions?!
MikeMcAwesome91
Sometimes I think @sarah issues random downvotes to mess with us normies.
TakWriterOfWorlds
Anything less than total excitement is tacit approval of communism. You godless heathen. McCarthy would be ashamed.
delpharseven
General downvote fairies. You've been around long enough that you might have a few dedicated just to you.

Oooh, I have those.
OneColdGorilla
But I'm nothing but sweetness and light! Unless I've had a few and then ooooh I see the problem here.
piscesdreamer
Even worse, several employees that tried to speak up had false charges put on their u5 record so they couldn't get jobs at other banks.
xSquirrelly
Meh, I bet they did some shit. I worked there. Everyone gets their hands dirty at some point.
KillingTlme
They did the shit they were told to do in order to keep their jobs. The people who told them to do it, got bonuses and severences.
DAFUQisaLOMMY
Were they false charges, or were they part of the mass of employees that were defrauding their customers?
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
False

pssst... he didn't get a severance package.
ConspicuousSpellingError
He had to sell his mansion in malibu... wait, no, the one in the Keys. My bad.
frozenpie22
He still has vested stock worth 100 million
InFin0819
Isnt that a part of his pay. A company can't take back pay when firing someone
HarryHamwallet
well considering those stocks are valued due to profits, and the profits were due to fraud, it might be a little different but i dunno
Mytittiesarekitties
They also didn't tell the employees, a few of my clients work for Wells Fargo, they found out watching the news....
GreaterDog
Makes sense though. Why issue a company-wide admission of guilt when you planned on middle management taking the fall?
Mytittiesarekitties
True
OfMiceAndMenus
He also didn't return a penny of the MILLIONS he made from forcing his employees to rip off their customers.
GadenKerensky
I feel like you're making a parachute joke here...
GodEmperorOfImgur
Something tells me, he's not gonna be worse off anyway.
ifitseasytakeittwice
What rock are you living under?
TheContemplatorOfFate
pssst...he still got to keep his stock options
madetheaccountjustforyou
Woah, you mean he got to keep things of value that he earned? Like, what the hell man? If you made a burger wrong at McDonalds I would (1)
madetheaccountjustforyou
expect them to take back your last paycheck, why don't they do the same to him? (2)
TimmyDans
If you harmed said burger with the intent to harm that is a criminal action and immediate dismissal with potential criminal actions if you..
TimmyDans
If you make*
SomethingWittyIDK
More like if someone orders a soda, and then you secretly charge them for 100 burgers to pad your numbers.
TimmyDans
Make a burger that harms someone unintentionally with neglect you probably get dismissed or a talking too.
