Wells Fargo CEO Stumpf's Congressional Testimony Reveals Lack of Knowledge

05 Apr 2023  |  Dan Macy
John Stumpf, CEO of Wells Fargo & Co., faced a grueling four-hour interrogation by the House Financial Services Committee where he frequently responded with 'I don’t know' to various questions about the bank's operations and practices. The hearing revealed that Wells Fargo employees had created up to two million fake accounts to meet sales targets, a fact Stumpf seemed largely unaware of. Despite moments of near-contrition, Stumpf refused to categorize the bank's actions as 'fraud' or 'stealing,' although he did admit that in some cases, employees' actions could be considered as such. The article highlights Stumpf's disconnection from both the company's operations and its heritage, as demonstrated by his inability to recall a quote from one of the bank's founders, Henry Wells, which is also featured on the bank's website.

Supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump amass outside the White House and on the National Mall at the base of the Washington Monument before marching to the U.S. Capitol, where a mob carried out an hours-long assault.

The panel included personal accounts from journalists like Rasha Elass, who reported undercover in Syria.

At War Over Who We Are

06 Apr 2017  |  Dan Macy
The article describes a protest that took place on January 30 in front of the U.S. Supreme Court against the travel ban on seven predominantly Muslim countries implemented by the Trump administration. Bingham Graves, a protester from Knoxville, Tenn., is highlighted for her silent protest reminiscent of a scene from the movie 'Norma Rae'. The article reports on the subsequent events: Bannon's removal from the National Security Council, the overturning of the travel ban by federal courts, and the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign's ties with Russia. It also covers the Senate Republicans' use of the Nuclear Option to confirm Supreme Court justice nominee Neil M. Gorsuch, which could affect bipartisan cooperation in the Senate.

Jay Clayton, Trump’s Pick for SEC, Highlights IPO Concerns and Enforcement Philosophy

05 Apr 2017  |  Dan Macy
Jay Clayton, nominated by President Trump to chair the SEC, aims to simplify the process for middle market companies to raise capital in public markets. During his confirmation hearing, he discussed the decline in U.S. IPOs and the need to reduce burdens for companies going public. Senators from both parties expressed concern over the drop in IPOs. Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Clayton's potential conflicts of interest due to his past work with Wall Street firms, suggesting it could lead to recusals and deadlocks. However, Chairman Michael Crapo countered Warren's claims with studies showing unanimous votes in most cases where former SEC Chair White recused herself. Clayton also emphasized the importance of individual liability over corporate liability in financial law enforcement.

Rescission of PE Registration Requirement Won’t Happen Anytime Soon

17 Mar 2017  |  Dan Macy
The article discusses the unlikelihood of significant changes to the Dodd-Frank Act, a comprehensive financial regulatory package, before the end of the year. Despite President Trump's campaign promise to roll back financial regulations, Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Bill Huizenga and Sen. Thom Tillis, indicate that other priorities such as the repeal of Obamacare and tax reform take precedence. They also note the need for bipartisan support in the Senate to make any changes. The lawmakers spoke at a regulatory compliance conference in Washington, D.C., organized by the Association for Corporate Growth, emphasizing that the current focus is on stopping the expansion of rules under Dodd-Frank and seeking ways to gradually reduce regulations. The article suggests that while there is discussion about rescinding the SEC registration requirement for private equity funds, substantial reform is not expected soon.
