Didn’t Citigroup have a deal to buy Wachovia?
I guess nobody told Wells Fargo.
Y’know, we had WF CEO John Stumpf on the program a couple of months ago. His company’s made it through this whole mess reasonably well, and he agreed when I asked him if it had presented him some business opportunities.
I guess we should have paid closer attention.
Meanwhile, did Citigroup screw this up, or did WF just do it smarter?
