The New York attorney general (AG) has fined Wells Fargo & Company $65
million for its sales practices, in particular, the company’s “cross-sell”
business model, in which it sells new financial products or services to
existing customers.

Wells Fargo told investors that its superior cross-sell strategy would
increase revenue and better serve its customers. However, according to the
New York AG’s office, the cross-sell efforts were built on sales practice
"misconduct" at the bank.

“Cross-sell” refers to selling new financial products or services to
existing customers.?Wells Fargo represented to investors its ability to
increase revenue and better serve customers by pursuing its reportedly
superior cross-sell strategy.

However, Wells Fargo failed to disclose to investors that the success of
its cross-sell efforts was built on what the AG said was sales practice
“misconduct” at the bank. That conduct included Wells Fargo’s Community
Bank division engaging in “fraudulent” sales practices, including, the
opening of millions of fake deposit and credit card accounts without
customers’ knowledge, according to the AG.

The AG is still investigating Wells Fargo’s possible connection with the
illegal business practice of opening millions of unauthorized accounts and
enrolling consumers in services without their knowledge or consent.
Today’s settlement has no impact on that ongoing investigation and other
pending investigations of Wells Fargo.

Beginning as early as 2011, Wells Fargo’s board of directors received
reports that described increasing numbers of allegations of this sales
practice misconduct by its employees. Wells Fargo’s former CEO said in
congressional testimony that he was made aware of the fraud by employees
in 2013, while Wells Fargo failed to disclose the misconduct involved in
the cross-sell business model and when the truth was revealed, New York
investors lost millions.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

yup, they should have their heads removed, at an old time chopping
block of the french. Now, they have opened what they claim is a food
bank. For the poor. While they refuse to honor their own checks of
peoples checking accounts, charging a fee, for the check cashing of the
same already paid for checking account. How much money has this
institution stolen from the public. hypocrite, they forgot to look it
up in the dictionary right.???? Off with their heads, even the
tellers. Get em all. Why was it not a 65 billion dollar fine is our
question.
