US Stock Market, Law — aj @ 2:49 pm

“The main U.S. national bank regulator failed to issue a public cease-and-desist order against Wells Fargo Bank NA (WFC.N) for weak money laundering controls, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Inspector General said. In a report issued on Friday, the Inspector General said examiners from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found numerous and recurring deficiencies with Wells Fargo’s anti-money-laundering practices from 1999 through 2004.”
