Documented enforcement actions taken against entities the platform tracks — SEC civil settlements, DOJ public-corruption indictments, FEC matters, FTC consent decrees, OFAC designations, state attorneys general judgments. Every row has a primary-source URL to the agency release or court filing. The entries don't editorialise: the government took an action, here's what they said, here's where you can verify it.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered Wells Fargo to pay more than $2 billion in redress to consumers and a $1.7 billion civil penalty for legal violations across multiple product lines including auto loans, mortgages, and deposit accounts. CFPB cited a "long-running pattern of illegal conduct" that affected over 16 million accounts.
CFPB, OCC, and LA City Attorney announced $185M in combined penalties ($100M to CFPB — its largest at that time, $35M to OCC, $50M to LA) over Wells Fargo's widespread practice of opening unauthorized deposit and credit-card accounts in customers' names to meet aggressive cross-sell sales quotas. Internal review eventually identified 3.5M potentially unauthorized accounts opened 2009-2016. This was the precursor enforcement to the 2018 $1B and 2022 $3.7B CFPB actions; together they represent the largest sustained consumer-banking enforcement record in US history.
