Wells Fargo just released a lengthy 10Q revealing a number of concerns for shareholders with regard higher-than-expected legal costs, new auto loan sales ‘issues’, and the potential for “significantly” more fake accounts based on a wider review. Ironically, WFC’s CEO Tim Sloan began his press release thus… “rebuilding trust became our top priority when I became CEO last October.”</strong>

“We expect that our review of the expanded time periods, which adds over three years to the initial review period of approximately four years (May 2011 to mid-2015), and our review and validation efforts for the initial review period, may lead to a significant increase in the identified number of potentially unauthorized accounts.
However, we do not expect any incremental customer remediation costs as a result of these efforts to have a significant financial impact on the Company.”
