Wells Fargo Demands Website Be Shut Down In Filing With Federal Court After Its Bailout


By Matthew Russell Lee, PatreonBBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR PFT
UN GATE / SDNY COURT, Jan 9 –   Wells Fargo, one of the less than a handful of banks which dominate the industry in the United States, is asking a federal court to shut down a website. More on Patreon here.  
  Wells Fargo's motion, filed on January 8, complains that "Defendants have re-posted the very website that defames and threatens Wells Fargo and its employees, agents, attorneys, and vendors involved in this litigation. See Exhibit A, http://www.wwshrimp.com, Website Screen Shots captured 1/7/20. Defendants should now be immediately ordered to take down the Website and should be permanently enjoined from re-posting any of its content again in any public forum."
    While describing a bank or its lawyers as prostitutes is not nice - and may as to the bank reverse the analysis - Inner City Press finds it highly problematic that a mega-bank, particularly one so recently bailed out by the public, should be trying to shut down a website.

We will continue to follow this case, and many others, with a particular line of stories about misdeeds by banks. Watch - and feel free to contact - site. More on Patreon here.
