Deplorable, from start to finish.
Looks like the family has a major law suit against the bank
All of a sudden, I wish I had a law degree. Lotta people gonna retire off this one.
The bank stated he had no business being in court that day. Well I agree! Had the bank fixed the problem he wouldn't have had to go to court. I hope someone sues the pants off Wells Fargo for this.
Still too big to prosecute?
I could cry.
Someone in Wells Fargo is crappiing their pants right now. What manager, what executive, signed off on this continual hounding of a man they KNEW was innocent? They contributed to his death. That is a crime. But, on the other hand, they've given millions in campaign contributions. So, I feel for the man and his family, but hey, money is money.
well, that solves everyones problems.
