Crime and misconduct

The settlement marks the bank’s largest yet from a series of scandals that claimed two chief executive officers.

The former investment advisor, convicted of running one of the biggest Ponzi schemes ever, says he suffers from terminal kidney failure and other ailments.

Edward E. Matthes allegedly renovated his home, paid child support and bought luxury items with client money.

He used client funds money to pay for massages, jewelry and to shore up his wife's failing pet store.

He used investor money for his $6.7 million home and $3.1 million for chartering planes and personal travel, according to prosecutors.

At this stage it's not an actual data breach, but it could become one.

PR campaigns won’t be enough to salvage the bank’s reputation after a series of scandals. Instead, it should look into adopting a new name, among other crucial steps.

The bank's decision to select its general counsel as successor to Tim Sloan, albeit on a temporary basis, focused attention on its frayed relationships with the Federal Reserve and the OCC.

The chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee said Tim Sloan's resignation as CEO was "long overdue" but that other executives and directors should be removed as well.

Tim Sloan couldn't hang on any longer. Here are insights about why he left now, what role policymakers played in the decision and will continue to have in the company's future, and who in the world would want to lead Wells Fargo.
