Wells Fargo banker used Malibu foreclosure for parties

The title of this post says it all.  This is just another example of bankers being corrupt.  Should the American taxpayer continue to be burdened by this type of behaviour? Of course not, so let’s make it easy on ourselves and just stop the insane bailouts already.

CNN.Money:

Cheronda Guyton, senior vice president in charge of commercial foreclosed properties, had been seen using the property to host weekend guests and throw private parties, according to published reports.

For example, neighbors told The Los Angeles Times that she hosted a party there late last month where guests were transported to the beach front home from a yacht offshore. (Guyton’s home number is unlisted, and attempts to contact her former office were unsuccessful.)

Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, took possession of the property last May as part of an agreement with the prior owner, who was reportedly wiped out by convicted Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff.

The 3,800-square-foot house, located on Malibu Colony Drive, is valued between $12 million and $25 million. The gated community has a guard posted around the clock and foot patrols to keep the public from trespassing on private beaches.

Wells Fargo said an internal investigation into the matter had found that “a single team member was responsible for violating our company policies” and that “employment of this individual has been terminated.”

“We deeply regret the activities that have taken place as they do not reflect the conduct we expect of our team members,” Wells Fargo said.
