Amerikkka! Where you get thrown in jail with a criminal record for stealing $62 from someone, but get paid $125 Million for stealing $62 from 2 million people!

Does anyone know if Lynndie England’s superiors were ever charged or investigated for creating a culture that encourages misconduct?
This is our culture people. It’s not aberrant if it’s mundane and expected.

Let’s be reasonable, people, it would cost Wells Fargo $5 million in legal fees to reclaim that $125 million.
Totally not worth it.
That’s just bad math!

I’d be surprised if her contract didn’t have something about ‘not bringing the company into disrepute’, so they probably could have just fired her. On the other hand, it looks like the fraud was discovered, and she was let go to avoid scandal (which broke anyway).

I got defrauded on my birthday by a banker.
In March I got a call from a collector!
Is it i-den-tity theft or repo men
It could be bad checks
