The city of Baltimore is suing Wells Fargo for racial profiling while workers in Chicago took to the streets to protest its recent refusal to extend credit for Quad City Die Casting Company. As a reminder, Wells Fargo is the country's 2nd largest mortgage lender, 5th largest bank and recipient of $25 billion in TARP money --taxpayer money that they will now likely be spent fighting the discrimination cases filed against them in court.
