9. Norman Rousseau killed himself over a billing snafu, apparently caused by Wells Fargo.

It ended with his imminent foreclosure, the morning spent working on an RV because he desperately wanted to keep his family safe, shooting himself. Reports indicate that Wells Fargo saying they had not received a cashiers check. Records reportedly show the check was brought in in person by the deceased, wife has receipt, that Wells Fargo failed to transfer the funds to his account.

Don't know, was lot of debt, they only discovered "after" the fact that their interest rate increased markedly. Some mortgage broker outright lie for the commissions, and documents written under old laws hid things, so it is easily possible for someone who didn't spend hours analyzing them to trust the wrong person.

Wonder if anyone got fired over that? Or maybe that's not in their guidelines.

Though I am damn sure they have an excuse.
