But Their Executives Get Fat Bonuses

From the San Francisco: Wells Fargo Home Mortgage has fired a Des Moines worker over a 1963 incident at a Laundromat involving a fake dime in the wake of new employment guidelines.
Richard Eggers, 68, was fired in July from his job as a customer service representative for putting a cardboard cutout of a dime in a washing machine nearly 50 years ago in Carlisle, the Des Moines Register reported (http://dmreg.co/RSh49T) on Monday.
Warren County court records show Eggers was convicted of operating a coin-changing machine by false means. Eggers called it a "stupid stunt," but questions his firing.
Big banks have been firing low-level employees like Eggers since new federal banking employment guidelines were enacted in May 2011 and new mortgage employment guidelines took hold in February, the newspaper said. The tougher standards are meant to clear out executives and mid-level bank employees guilty of transactional crimes — such as identity theft and money laundering — but are being applied across the board because of possible fines for noncompliance.

This guy gets fired for a crime that happened almost 50 years ago and yet the executives at Wells Fargo and other banking and money managing companies get fat bonuses and stay out of jail thanks to the Obama administration.

Yeah, we have to watch out for those employees who commit crimes 50 years ago using a silly trick.  They ought keep him though, because if that tricked worked, he would be executive material.
