These stories are popping up every day now. And it's not just trumpanzees doing the honors:
We all remember Wells Fargo as the biggest fraudster -- out of a very crowded field -- responsible for the Great Recession. It seems that the banks is rewarding us for not prosecuting by continuing its racist policies.
And yes, Barbara Caroll is suing on the grounds of racial discrimination.

Barbara Carroll just wanted to cash a check for $140. The 78-year-old former probation officer and assistant bank manager, who is black, stopped by a Wells Fargo branch in Fort Lauderdale last November for what she thought would be a quick errand.
Instead, she says, she spent two and a half hours at the bank's Victoria Park location while employees refused to cash her check or return her driver's license, asking the PhD-holder what she did for the money and telling her they had called police. They were suspicious that Carroll was guilty of forgery, she says — even after the man who wrote the check confirmed it was legitimate.
