SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 8 รข€“ A man who as a Wells Fargo official says he appeared on CNBC in February 2025 and praised the then-new Administration says he was retaliated against. He filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York where Inner City Press found it in the docket. 

 The complaint said a Mr. Peck "resented Plaintiff's political views."

 The plaintiff says he emailed Wells Fargo's CEO about "unconscionable" things. A Mr. Andrew Porter contacted him, and soon he was fired.

 A U4 filing with FINRA resulted in withdrawal from recruitment discussions by UBS, JPMorgan and RBC Capital Markets.  

 He cites the Sabranes-Oxley Act.

 The case is Doe v. Wells Fargo N.A., 1:26-cv-5807 (Unassigned)
