After Consumer Scandals, Wells Fargo Struggles to Recruit Corporate Clients

Bank executives say they are attempting to keep an eye on the long game but still receive commentary on the scandals in recruitment meetings.

This latest news, combined with the still active asset-cap agreement with the Federal Reserve, may account for the abrupt departure of Wells President and CEO Tim Sloan, who announced his resignation and retirement late yesterday.
