After the scandal, Wells Fargo’s damage becomes apparent + MORE Oct 14th

NEW YORK, N.Y. – It’s going to get worse for Wells Fargo before it gets better.
In the wake of the biggest scandal in the bank’s 164-year history, distrustful customers are not opening as many checking accounts or applying for credit cards, and branch visits and meetings between customers and bankers are down, too.
Wells has also been hit with several lawsuits from customers, employees and shareholders. There are calls from politicians for fraud charges against the bank. And Wells almost surely faces settlements and fines way beyond the $185 million it agreed to pay regulators when the scandal broke wide open last month.
Or, as Wells Fargo executives put it to Wall Street analysts, using what has become a remarkably common term in this age of corporate malfeasance, the bank’s legal expenses are likely to be “lumpy.”

On her new album, AIM, M.I.A. imagines herself sneaking across the Mexican border into the United States. In real life, the U.S. had refused to renew the London, England-based artist’s visa from 2014 until Oct. 12, when she triumphantly announced she was able to tour in America again. It’s unclear why the U.S. had stalled—she has suggested it’s her support for WikiLeaks, or maybe it’s because she has been public enemy No. 1  ever since she raised her middle finger during Madonna’s 2012 Super Bowl halftime show—but regardless, Canada has been rather more welcoming.
