266 | Former Khmer Rouge Slave Who Blew the Whistle on Wells Fargo, March 24, 2018


Duke Tran who escaped from slavery became a Wells Fargo employee before becoming a millionaire.

Duke Tran worked at the bank’s debt-collections center near Portland, Ore., talking on the phone to customers who owed Wells Fargo money. It wasn’t glamorous, but the job enabled him to afford a two-story suburban house with mustard-colored aluminum siding. After more than three decades in the United States, Mr. Tran felt that he was the living embodiment of the American dream. And then it all started to crumble.

In 2014, according to Mr. Tran, his boss ordered him to lie to customers who were facing foreclosure. When Mr. Tran refused, he said, he was fired. He worried that he wouldn’t be able to make his monthly mortgage payments and that he was about to become homeless.

Joining a cadre of former employees claiming they were mistreated for speaking out about problems at the bank, Mr. Tran sued. He argued in court filings that he had been fired in retaliation for blowing the whistle on misconduct at the giant San Francisco-based bank. Mr. Tran said he didn’t want his job back — he wanted Wells Fargo to admit that it had been wrong to fire him and wrong to mislead customers who were facing foreclosure.




Those unfamiiar with Sun Tzu may want to familize themselves with his teachings.
Punch that into the search engine. Read it on your own time, or be creative, find a audio recording suitable for yourself and listen to that while you're stuck in traffic going to work, school wherever etc.


Mr. Fuller said in an interview in late January that he could not foresee Mr. Tran’s settling for less than $10 million. Mr. Tran did not want to settle.

He wanted Wells Fargo to have to admit it was wrong.

“They have so much money,” he said in a Feb. 2 interview. “They use that money to buy off the American justice system, and they never go to court.”

He said he was considering not showing up to the meeting. “I’m ready to go to court,” he said. “I’m not going to settle.”

The next day, Mr. Tran settled. He stopped returning phone calls seeking comment.

People familiar with the settlement said it included a seven-figure payment to Mr. Tran.


I'm still wondering if there is any truth to this particular article. Sure, it in most likelyhood is plausible and may happen but for this particular story, I remain skeptical after reading the entire article. Nonetheless, seems as though this story came to a "happy ending?.."

One of Sun Tzu's most popular quotes: "wage war by way of deception"



Surprise Surprise, Wells Fargo caught conducting unethical acts upon their paying customers, scamming elderly people, creating significant sized loans with no paperwork documents or evidence in order to illegally fleece people out of their money among many more that has yet to emerge, people need to cancel their accounts with Wells Fargo. Of course for some, it is not so simple, being as that their personal, professional ties are interlaced with the banking corpsoration.

If anything, Wells Fargo may have told Tran that if the settlement was not accepted, then the banking institution may end up intentional dragging this case out in court to purposely bankrupt him. They do have the funds to do so, as well as the unethical merit to go through with it.
