Wells Fargo in the crosshairs

Here is an example of the difference between the State perspective on the fraud committed by the mortgage banks and the federal one. Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray is clearly not buying the “technical error” line of defense: “The big mortgage servicers and financial firms continue to demonstrate their belief that they do not need […]
