Whistleblowers Ignored, Punished by Lenders, Dozens of Former Employees Say

Whistleblowers ignored, punished by lenders, dozens of former employees say

Mortgage fraud involved many lenders, former employees say

Darcy Parmer ran into trouble soon after she started her job as a fraud analyst at Wells Fargo Bank. Her bosses, she later claimed, were upset that she was, well, finding fraud.

Company officials, she alleged in a lawsuit, berated her for reporting that sales staffers were pushing through mortgage deals based on made-up borrower incomes and other distortions, telling her that she didn’t “see the big picture” and that “it is not your job to fix Wells Fargo.” Management, she claimed, ordered her to stop contacting the company’s ethics hotline.

In the end, she said, Wells Fargo forced her out of her job.

Parmer isn’t alone in claiming she was punished for objecting to fraud in the midst of the nation’s home-loan boom. iWatch News has identified 63 former employees at 20 financial institutions who say they were fired or demoted for reporting fraud or refusing to commit fraud. Their stories were disclosed in whistleblower claims with the U.S. Department of Labor, court documents or interviews with iWatch News.

    A timer apparently has been placed on the reply section. Risking losing the audience here to migrate to blogs that allow comments. Reasonable answer would be to place a character limit as the major media blogs do. NYT, etc.

    You know it! Whistleblowers either get paid off or trampled.

    Step forward whistle blowers, don’t let the bastards grind you down. Incidentally, like Banksters, like the facist Ofail adminstration, don’t tolerate whistleblowers.
