Bloomberg•3 hours agoWells Fargo Pays Some More Fines
"I am especially pleased that we were able to work closely and effectively with our colleagues at the OCC, and I appreciate the key role they played in the negotiations," said Bureau Acting Director Mick Mulvaney. Not for the infamous fake accounts -- the CFPB and OCC fined Wells Fargo, $100 million and $35 million respectively, for those back in 2016 -- but for requiring auto-loan borrowers to pay for Wells Fargo's insurance on their cars even when the borrowers already had their own insurance, and for charging mortgage borrowers to extend interest-rate locks even when the need for an extension was Wells Fargo's fault. It is all a bit less sexy than the fake accounts, which had the public-relations advantages of being ridiculous and having a catchy name.

Wells Fargo's Big Fine Puts Fresh Focus on Power of Trump Tweets
For years, Republican lawmakers and regulators have groused about big corporate fines, arguing that they mostly punish blameless shareholders, not the executives who are responsible for misconduct. Then President Donald Trump tweeted his ire about Wells Fargo & Co. and -- at least in the case of the embattled bank -- the GOP is singing a different tune. Watchdogs appointed by Trump -- including a conservative former congressman -- announced Friday that Wells Fargo would pay $1 billion to settle allegations that its auto-lending and mortgage businesses abused consumers.
