        Wells Fargo refunded the fees to the harmed customers, in a payment totaling $2.6 million, with $25 in refunds per customer on average. The company also said it would invest in “enhanced team-member training and monitoring and controls” and focus on performance goals based on customer satisfaction.

        can we say class action lawsuit. They should be getting a lot more than just their $25 back! holy hell!

          Armed drones are now legal for law enforcement in North Dakota. That can't go bad.

              That's disgusting. We all know where that's headed.

                And In addition to the $100 million fine the CFPB levied on it, Wells Fargo will also have to pay the City and County of Los Angeles $50 million as well as a $35 million fine to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

                Hey we had to discover this crime, pay me so I can buy the 2017 Corvette!

                The fines are just insane if you ask me. Where does that extra 85 million go, what is it used for?

                  I'm sure there will be accidental issues. But it's not as if the drones are going to just hovering above the city 24/7 waiting to shoot someone...

                          Good to see SpaceX reaching out to other organizations for help investigating their recent explosion. Apparently it was a routine fueling operation with the engines off and no apparent heat sources.

                            You wouldn't even have to hack them, just get a remote that uses the same frequency and you could pilot them.

                            No hacking involved at all.

                              While tasteless for certain, a lot of people need to get over themselves.

                              9/11 means almost nothing to a lot of people now. The US is a huge country and this event, while horrible, directly affected a very small amount of people.

                              Humans are designed to forget (probably wrong word, I am not a psychologist) and move on when things do not directly affect them.

                              9/11 means nothing to many people except that our government did some very illegal things like invading another country under false pretenses.

                              9/11 means nothing to other people except that the government took advantage of fear and took away or restricted/reduced many freedoms the U.S. citizens had prior to then.

                              9/11 was 15 years ago. There are children now in high school that have no memory of this event other than dry history classes.

                              For people my age, but removed from the events, 9/11 is a tragedy, and not something to make fun of. But still something that only affects me because of the wars affecting our economy at a high level and TSA at the airports. But you know what, that does not mean I can shit on someone who feels differently. They are allowed to feel differently.

                                It's a lot like "another sale day" at this point. And it is referenced strangely often for how long ago it was.

                                      Not sure why this is considered shocking. Two people fall asleep after shooting up... no one is hurt, no one is dead. It's just two junkies passed out. It's not pretty, but it is far from shocking.
