Thats one heck of a birthday present from one of the Worlds Largest financial institutions. Reporter the chief of retail banking, carrie tolstedt, left in july with a 125 million parachute. The bank has fired 5,300 employees for the fraud. The common practice of crossselling, taken to an extreme. Failing to notify customers about these sham accounts opened, this isnt crossselling. This is fraud. Reporter the ceo stumpf insisting it was not an orchestrated practice. We never directed or wanted or team members to provide products and services to customers that they did not want. The only way that wall street will change is if executives face jail time when they preside over massive frauds.
