In all honesty if mismanagement was a crime most companies should be fined. Government agencies would be closed down, but instead politicians cover for them.

This isn't new...it is what should be the final penalty for the issues that have been investigated over the past several years.
The only thing left is the asset cap that the Federal Reserve imposed...this now opens the path to having the asset cap lifted. Unclear how long it will be before that happens, though.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The former head of Wells Fargo's retail bank is facing prison time after agreeing to plead guilty to obstructing a bank examination in relation to the sweeping phony accounts scandal that roiled the bank in 2016.

Carrie Tolstedt, 63, faces up to 16 months in prison under a plea agreement with federal prosecutors filed on Wednesday. The development marks a rare instance of a senior bank executive facing prison time as a result of their job.

After watching Steve Lehtoh's video on this, I think she is guilty, and should go to prison. Well, I read some story before this. The Wells Fargo company was guilty of fraud. The fraud may have been identity theft. But there may be other venues to accuse them. In any case, Wells Fargo should be fined into non-existence. Bankrupcy or better.

interesting to know:

" "opened as many as 1.5 million checking and savings accounts, and more than 500,000 credit cards, without customers' authorization."

that those crimes, that amount of the same crime is worth:

up to 16 months in prison
that's less than a year with 1/3 off for 'good behavior'


there's this also:
How did Wells Fargo harm customers?


Wells Fargo is a repeat offender that has been the subject of multiple enforcement actions by the CFPB and other regulators for violations across its lines of business, including faulty student loan servicing, mortgage kickbacks, fake accounts, and harmful auto loan practices.Dec 20, 2022

but we're not talking about that
