Wells Fargo Bank Kills Man Due To Typo Error (VIDEO)

A little more than two years ago, a bank typo started a series of events that led to Larry Delassus losing his home. This past December, Delassus died in court from heart disease during his negligence and discrimination case against Wells Fargo.

The story, as told by LA Weekly, is tragic. Delassus, 62, suffered from Budd-Chiari syndrome, a liver disease. One of his neighbors with a condo number only slightly different from his own owed $13,361.90 in back taxes. When Wells Fargo mixed up their addresses, Delassus saw his mortgage double. He couldn't pay and was eventually foreclosed upon even after the bank admitted its error."*

Wells Fargo made a typo and mistakenly charged Larry Delassus for back taxes owed by his neighbor, doubling his taxes and forcing his home to be foreclosed, and they continued adding upon the enormous debt even after they realized the mistake. Delassus, who suffered from a rare condition died in court. Was Wells Fargo penalized in any way? (What do you think?) Ana Kasparian and Desi Doyen (Green News Report) discuss.
