Another day, another slate of corporate pardons. The administration's decision to drop the Zelle case and a myriad of others is a gift to some of the worst corporate wrongdoers in the financial industry and a gut punch to the millions of Americans they harmed.

Got scammed on Zelle? Don't expect help. The Trump administration just dropped a lawsuit against the banks behind #Zelle—despite $870M lost to fraud. Instead of protecting you, they're giving Wall Street a free pass. https://accountable.us/...

If progressives really cared about protecting business trade secrets and customer information, they'd oppose the CFPB's investigative dragnets. Their real concern is keeping the CFPB up and running as a political weapon they can use against business. https://www.wsj.com/...

This is unusual. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has dropped its lawsuit filed in December against JPMorgan, $JJPM, Wells Fargo, $WFC, and Bank of America, $BAC, over their handling of the payment service Zelle. They were alleged to have failed to protect consumers

Today CFPB did the right thing and dropped its case against Zelle. We know there are mass scams and fraud online. But placing liability on payment rails, rather than punishing the bad actors, only harms consumers who rely on these services. A victory for consumer choice! [image]

Last week, the Trump CFPB let Capital One off the hook for allegedly cheating Americans out of $2B in interest. Today, Zelle owners Wells Fargo, B of A, & JPMC got a dismissal in their case involving nearly $1B of alleged consumer fraud. Corporate pardon season in full swing.
