So the GOP’s alleged boy genius, Ayn Rand fanboy Paul Ryan, “the zombie-eyed granny starver from the state of Wisconsin, ” recently posted this on Twitter.
Note the date of this tweet: September 12, 2016. Matt O’Brien of the Washington Post mocks, And now, a case of really bad Republican timing.
Ryan’s tweet is just days after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) scored one of the biggest consumer fraud victories in its short history against a bankster of Wall Street. 5,300 Wells Fargo employees fired over 2 million phony accounts:
Everyone hates paying bank fees. But imagine paying fees on a ghost account you didn’t even sign up for.
That’s exactly what happened to Wells Fargo customers nationwide.
On Thursday, federal regulators said Wells Fargo employees secretly created millions of unauthorized bank and credit card accounts — without their customers knowing it — since 2011.
The phony accounts earned the bank unwarranted fees and allowed Wells Fargo employees to boost their sales figures and make more money.
“Wells Fargo employees secretly opened unauthorized accounts to hit sales targets and receive bonuses,” Richard Cordray, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said in a statement.
