A former Wells Fargo executive agreed to pay nearly $5 million to settle charges levied by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the bank’s fake account scandal.
Carrie Tolstedt, the former head of Wells Fargo’s community bank, agreed to pay a $3 million civil penalty, disgorgement of $1,459,076, and prejudgment interest of $447,874, the SEC said Tuesday in a press release.
