Quote - You bet Wells took some. They took enough to buy a bank here in North Carolina, so they got plenty, and they certainly didnt put it to its intended use.

You're in California? Connie, honest, make some real noise about this. Your state is one of the best for this kind of acitvism.

Yes, usually dept of consumer affairs has been great with this.
I'm also finding that there's a brewing class action lawsuit about manipulating transactions to maximize bank fees and overdraft charges. Filed in several states, and pending in Califronia and few others.
Also, as I get my brain scramble puzzled back together, I'll find more. Maybe write letters to news people, places like investigative report and 60 minutes etc.  They're loving individual recession stories more and more...

Overall my story looks pretty good on paper, from my coming to the US at 18, completely on my own, to building up a small business, a woman owned business in Engineering (a very male dominated field), to never taking a single handout in my life, I never even took the "Woman owned business" extra 'affirmative action like' benefits  ..... to the big stinking bank refusing good faith payments for a while when I hit the hard times due to the economy that the bankers messed up to start with.... and putting a screw to me taking the last penny, while taking the bailout (my tax) money at the same time. They sort of have their hand in my front and in my back pocket at the same time. Not just mine, but most Americans whom have hopes of making a decent living using their hard work and skills, and not cheating anyone.

I'm sure there will be more and more stories like this popping up left and right...

Anyway, sorry I got off on a tangent, I don't want to turn this into banking or political thread....

The new kitty, Bri Bri is being very adorable, and has settled in already, like she owns the place. I'm convinced she's talking to Tiggers!
