based Wells Fargo today, which, if you’re working PR for the bank, is best-case scenario, since nobody much pays attention on Saturdays right?
- Bloomberg News says the bank is being sued for allegedly ignoring federal rules on reverse mortgages and forcing homes into foreclosure without giving heirs a chance to buy them. No comment from Wells.
- Meanwhile, Wells says it has reached a $590 million settlement in principle with plaintiffs who claimed that Wachovia, which Wells took over, misled investors, also via Bloomberg News.
