Bob CollinsThe CEO of Wells Fargo, Timothy Sloan, appeared before the Senate Banking Committee this morning to answer questions about the bank’s culture of ethical shortcomings.
Sloan has been on the job for a year, since the board of directors at the bank fired John Stumpf, the Pierz, Minn., native.
Not unexpectedly, Sloan got a grilling from Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
