U.S. says Wells Fargo to pay $400,000 to settle charges over swaps
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Wells Fargo Bank has settled federal charges over inaccurate large trader reports for physical commodity swaps positions...
Harsh words and a fine equaling a whopping 0.000176% of Wells Fargo's market cap ($400k / $227b) will once and for all teach senior executives that crime doesn't pay.
It's the nanoscale straw that will break the adamantium camel's back.
Heads will rofl. They always have a scapegoal in place for these types of miner emergencies.

Did you watch the presidential debate? What did you think of the winner decided by the buying of certain currency such as the Mexican peso?
I did watch. I was also watching the peso.
I'm not sure that's an entirely accurate assessment of the results of the debate, but it does imply that those with the money to speculate/gamble seem to think Hillary won it.
Of course, currency speculators make up just a tiny portion of registered voters, so not exactly the best sample for an accurate poll. They're not necessarily just gambling on how they reacted to the debate but how they think others reacted to it.
It's also possible that currency traders were speculating that Trump would mention Mexico a lot more than he did.
Would we consider Trump the winner if he said Mexico in response to every question? I woildn't, but those betting against the peso might!
Don't discount the use of "harsh" words as a punishment. And then there is the fear of being taunted a second time!
Nobody expects a 400k fine!
mab,
Don't discount the use of "harsh" words...
