    they really need to start with forfeiting all profits. and then maybe a percentage-based fine on top of that.

    make it really painful, in the only place these people can be hurt.

      They’ll just pass it along to the customers though, that would have to be made very illegal first… and even then they’d probably do it anyway and blame it on the tellers. In the sea of illegal things Wells Fargo has already done that wouldn’t even make a ripple.
