How much longer, do you think, will Wells Fargo’s Board of Directors continue to support Charlie as CEO? Let’s say, for example:
- Wells Fargo is still under the current Federal Asset Cap 3-5 years from now
- The Feds hit Wells Fargo with new significant penalties for taking too long to fix mismanagement and oversight issues
- Wells Fargo’s pattern of unlawful behavior continues to unfold as new violations and customer abuses are uncovered
- Wells Fargo suffers a major system outage/hack causing significant upheaval for it’s customers and possibly the financial system
*Wells Fargo’s stock price continues to underperform compared to it’s competitors
I think our BOD will continue to keep Charlie in his job no matter what comes down the road. Why? Because the average pay for a Director is $360K/year for minimal output. Removing Charlie puts their easy-money at risk and is an admission they made a poor choice and have failed in their fiduciary responsibilities. And, last but not least, because The Old Boys Club wants The Old Boys Club to continue to thrive and maintain control.
