NEW YORK: Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf will forgo $forty one million in compensation, the financial institution’s board of administrators announced on Tuesday, as punishment for a bogus accounts scandal that has rocked the employer.
The financial institution has already apologized and stated it fired five,three hundred personnel tied to the unlawful conduct, which noticed personnel improve income figures via establishing unauthorized deposit and credit bills after which covertly fund them with clients’ money.
An independent investigation into the substantial fraud practices could be accomplished in-residence, with Stumpf receiving no profits throughout the probe, the board stated. He may also be denied an advantage for 2016.
While Strumpf forfeits $41 million in brilliant unvested equity awards, Carrie Tolstedt, the previous head of network banking, will forfeit $19 million in tremendous unvested fairness awards. She can even acquire no bonus or severance pay.
