Wells Fargo is not going to fade into oblivion. It is almost a textbook example of an American firm which is too big to fail. The fact that a bunch of low-end bank tellers thought they could game the system to earn extra bonuses by opening unauthorized accounts was indeed unfortunate, but it had nothing to do with the wealth management division.
