Nevin, I caught the $85M fine slapped on Wells Fargo this morning. In fact, we discussed it on the radio show this morning. You are right ... Wells will not absorb the fine ... the consumer will.
The change in conforming rates will undoubtedly impact a lot of people and cause delays in many escrows. This is important information that we all need to be aware of.
I did read that Wells Fargo was the company. Loans are getting tricky.

Scary thought....and for this to happen to a large bank...the others are bound to be cited, too. After all, they were all doing the same thing!
Kathleen - I wonder how many Billions they made after paying this fine. They know it and ended up making more than it costs them so 85 million didn't hurt them that much. Banks aren't stupid, I'm pretty sure they earmarked this money pending future lawsuits.
Elite Home Sales - Actually these are the cleanest loans in our history! Underwriting is so paranoid aboout fraud and losing money that every deal is a clean deal.
Pacita - Probably right but the fines are usually a drop in the bucket compared to the profits they make doing this sort of stuff.
And wasn't BofA hit with a large penalty recently as well for their Countrywide, err, acquisition. I'm wondering if these fines go to countries that bought their loan packages. Soverign debt is a big part of what the global economy is doing, and many of the countries in trouble purchased large MBS portfolios. Good post about the new caps on "jumbo" loan limits.
Nevin I LOVE your video presentation. Very professional with great information to boot! Gosh the word really needs to get out to borrowers expecting to pay more than the $417K for a house. That covers a large portion of Downey!
