It would seem that, with the right legal representation -- one willing to go the distance -- Ashley might have grounds for a very significant libel suit.
Wells Fargo management deserves to go to jail, in my opinion. However, it would also give me great joy to see them lose hundreds of millions of dollars to such suits.
They wholeheartedly deserve it, as do some of the line employees who had to endure such abuse.
Further, if the "gubmint" was serious about investigating and prosecuting criminal behavior, in addition to actually holding those responsible for policy accountable and jailing them, I'd like to see the laws for once enforced, at Federal and State levels, that require the government to cease doing business with financial establishments convicted of criminal offenses.
We have laws. And we have resources for criminal investigations. For once, let's actually put them to use.
If not, go after the politicians and government employees obstructing justice. If not with a formal charge, then by ending their careers.
