Wells Fargo Exec Fired After Partying in Foreclosed Mansion

Cheronda Guyton was, according to LinkedIn, a senior VP at Wells Fargo Bank based in the Greater Los Angeles area. Now, however, she's an unemployed former Wells Fargo employee.

Cheronda Guyton and her family reportedly partied and stayed at a bank-owned $12 million beach house (pictured above) in the exclusive Malibu Colony. The house had been foreclosed on as a result of the Bernie Madoff scam.

Certainly the former owners, Lawrence and Linda Elins didn't need insult added to injury, did they? Cheronda Guyton's actions are another example of how high-profile Wall Street and financial industry executives consider themselves privileged and entitled.

If nothing else, at least those of us in the general public can picture the look on her face when Cheronda Guyton was told not just that she was getting the boot from her 3,800 square foot home (which wasn't hers anyway), as well as from her job. Sweet.

Wells Fargo Bank issued the following statement, and confirmed the executive involved as Cheronda Guyton.
"We deeply regret the activities that have taken place as they do not reflect the conduct we expect of our team members. We continue to place the highest value on honesty, trust and integrity to guide our team members in making business decisions each day."
Honesty, trust, integrity? Those words can't be applied to these execs, can they? At least, not in the case of Cheronda Guyton.

Bank Auctions Wrong House, Evicts Legal Owner

Things are so bad now that people are being evicted from their homes even when they're not behind on their mortgage. The Ramirez family was summarily kicked out, with their furniture tossed out onto their lawn, after a Miami-Dade Clerk's Office resulted in their house being auctioned off.

The man who bought the house told Anna Ramirez he paid $87,000 for it. The family bought the house for $260,000. Worse: the family including her husband, daughter and grand-children were also kicked out by Homestead, FL and Miami-Dade police officers.

The sale was eventually reversed by a Miami-Dade judge, allowing the Ramirez family to return to their home. Ramirez said she might want to sue for the damage to her furniture. Frankly, she should. There's no reason that this event should have occurred.

In fact, the Ramirez family has lived in the house for three years and recently refinanced the home with the bank.
