What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs we told you earlier, HUD is examining Wells Fargo's homeownership programs.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNew: the Washington Examiner says the letter asks whether the bank broke fair-lending laws.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe editor's angle is added regulatory risk for the bank. Per the Examiner, this is an investigation, not a finding.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe administration says it is looking, nothing more.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnother letter from Washington. Banks get more mail than a lottery winner, and none of it is a check.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeparately, Reuters quotes a market expert saying Fed minutes show dissension within the ranks. That is one expert's opinion, not a policy call.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorDissension at the Fed, Hank. Grown adults arguing over a decimal point while the Russell is down one point three one percent. Glorious.
