Between stuff like this and the fraud, why would anyone still use Wells Fargo at this point?

Only if you're an existing customer and don't want to go through the effort of switching.

However, I am now going to switch. I feel like an idiot for not switching earlier. There is nothing redeeming about Wells Fargo, other than they might have your money available for you. Other than that, it's shenanigans every few years, pushy customer service, a crappy website, and an even crappier mobile app.

+1 for having the balls to reveal where you bank on a public website with "hacker" in the name

I just did this. Went in and got cashier's checks for all my accounts and dropped the money elsewhere. Worth it.

Absolutely. Remember, 7% of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows [1].

The idea that 7% of American adults like lying on surveys is more believable to me than the idea that people think chocolate milk is not from added chocolate.

That would be a relief. The number of customers that will continue to bank at Wells Fargo, however, suggests not only that the respondents didn't lie, but that the model was likely too conservative.

This is technically correct (the article notes this). Milk of all kinds comes from all cows. Some fraction of chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Aren't some cows brown?
