This past Wednesday the normally insightful Seeking Alpha website had an ironic article titled Wells Fargo - A Return To Ethical Banking?

This came out just two weeks after Wells Fargo paid a $142 million to settle a lawsuit for "creating some 2.1 million unauthorized checking and savings accounts, credit cards, and lines of credit without customer approval."
They also paid regulators $185 million.

The very next day Wells Fargo got hit with another scandal.

As Wells Fargo & Co. continues to be hit with fallout from its sham-accounts scandal, the bank is facing allegations that it put the screws to customers in yet another way: by slapping them with fees for delays in processing mortgage applications.
A former Wells Fargo mortgage banker who worked in Beverly Hills alleged in a lawsuit this week that the bank falsified records so it could blame holdups on borrowers — and that it fired him for trying to report the practice...
In his lawsuit, former banker Mauricio Alaniz alleged that the Wells Fargo’s mortgage-processing and underwriting division was understaffed, leading to chronic delays that were not borrowers’ fault. But rather than have the bank waive the rate-lock fee, workers would falsely report that borrowers had submitted incomplete or inaccurate information, according to the suit.

The Seeking Alpha article comes just a few days after Wells Fargo was forced to rehire a whistleblower, along with $577,500 in back pay and damages.

This all happened just in July.
But you know what they say about cockroaches and bankster scandals - if you see one then you know there is a whole colony of them somewhere.

So you won't be surprised when this happened the day after that Seeking Alpha article.

More than 800,000 people who took out car loans from Wells Fargo were charged for auto insurance they did not need, and some of them are still paying for it, according to an internal report prepared for the bank’s executives.
The expense of the unneeded insurance, which covered collision damage, pushed roughly 274,000 Wells Fargo customers into delinquency and resulted in almost 25,000 wrongful vehicle repossessions, according to the 60-page report, which was obtained by The New York Times. Among the Wells Fargo customers hurt by the practice were military service members on active duty.

In response to this newest revelation, the NYC Comptroller Scott M. Stringer released a classic statement.

“This is a full-blown scandal — again. It’s unbelievable, outrageous, sad, and yet quintessential Wells Fargo. This isn’t just a corporate debacle. It’s caused real human harm. It’s reflective of a system that Americans feel is rigged against the little guy, and sadly symbolic of a culture that puts short-term profits ahead of creating sustainable value for shareowners. Everyday families have suffered and tens of millions of hard-earned dollars were stripped from unsuspecting Americans, many of whom are struggling just to get by.

So we can already answer the question that Seeking Alpha asked: Wells Fargo - A Return To Ethical Banking? No. Absolutely not.
