WELLS FARGO USURY EXAMINES DANGERS OF TO BIG TOO FAIL BANKS Why Tax Deductible Fines Fail To Stop Fraud Money Laundering And Deception In Banking Business

“Wells Fargo Usury” was created on September 1, 2013 by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II. Wall Street banks made billions on securitized subprime mortgages. When the bubble burst 99% of the world population was negatively impacted by the ripple effects. The main culprits have escaped punishment, not one top executive-level banker has been personally punished or lost their job. Tax deductible fines are levied against banks for criminal acts, not prosecutions. The lesson learned is, crime pays for the 1%.

VOODOO ECONOMICS

While lame stream media distracts people by feeding them bread and circus, disguised as news and information, banks labeled, “too-big-to-fail”, are stealing money from customers with impunity, because they can.

Banks steal billions of dollars but only pay millions in fines that are usually tax deductible. So the lesson learned is: crime pays, if you are a corporate entity protected by a corrupt, “pay for play”, government.

BANKS ARE ABOVE THE LAW: TOO-BIG-TO FAIL MEANS TOO-BIG-TO-JAIL AND THAT TRANSLATES INTO FISCAL ANARCHY THAT ENABLES ECONOMIC TERRORISM.

Wells Fargo, the largest mortgage lender in the United States, admitted to deceiving the U.S. government into insuring thousands of risky mortgages and agreed to pay $1.2 billion to put to rest claims that it engaged in reckless lending under a Federal Housing Administration program that left a taxpayer subsidized, government insurance fund to clean up the mess.

Wells Fargo engaged in a reckless trifecta of poor training, deficient loan underwriting and poor disclosure in the government-backed loan program.

ECONOMIC TERRORISM DEFINED IN MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM.

Wells Fargo was fined $3.6 million because the bank acted illegally by charging on-time payers with late fees, failed to inform borrowers of steps they could take to minimize fees and left credit report errors uncorrected, which resulted in some misled student loan borrowers paying unnecessary fees.

“Wells Fargo hit borrowers with illegal fees and deprived others of critical information needed to effectively manage their student loan accounts. Consumers should be able to rely on their servicer to process and credit payments correctly and to provide accurate and timely information.”- Richard Cordray, Director Of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assessed nearly $36 million in penalties against Wells Fargo for the banks’ role in a “mortgage kickback” scheme. The financial regulator charged Wells Fargo bank employees with entering into an illegal arrangement with a now-defunct Maryland mortgage title company, under which the title company gave cash, marketing materials and consumer information in exchange for bank business. The CFPB determined in its investigation that more than 100 Wells Fargo loan officers in Maryland and Virginia entered into the illegal arrangement,

“These banks allowed their loan officers to focus on their own illegal financial gain rather than on treating consumers fairly.” – Richard Cordray, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

Wells Fargo was fined $81.6 million for failing to provide bankrupt homeowners with legally required notices of mortgage payment increases which denied homeowners the opportunity to challenge the accuracy of mortgage payment increases. By failing to properly notify homeowners, Wells Fargo violated federal bankruptcy rules that took effect in December 2011 that imposed more detailed disclosure requirements to ensure proper accounting of fees and charges on homeowners in bankruptcy.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

Wells Fargo, agreed to pay $85 million to settle charges that it falsified loan documents of its borrowers and pushed borrowers into higher interest subprime mortgages even though they qualified for a mortgage with lower interest rates. Over 10,000 borrowers were steered into more expensive subprime mortgages with higher interest rates or had their loan paperwork falsified by Wells Fargo personnel. Wells Fargo personnel were driven to the fraudulent activity in order to meet their company goals required for consideration to receive bonuses.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

Wells Fargo agreed to pay a $70 million penalty to settle legal claims over improper activity including the robo-signing of foreclosure documents, faulty payment-change notices filed in bankruptcy courts and faulty escrow calculations. Wells Fargo employees acted as robo-signers to speed up the foreclosure process with falsified or inadequate underlying documentation.

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY ALUMNI BARNABY RUHE PAINTS PORTRAIT OF FELLOW USNA ARTIST VICTOR HUGO VACA II AT LEGENDARY GLOBAL WARMING ART REPORT LILY HATCHETT EVENT.

LILY HATCHETT INVITED THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II TO MANIFEST MODERN ART MUSIC MOVEMENT HAPPENINGS, CAPTURED ON FILM, THAT CREATED WORKS OF FINE ART GRAFFITI, ON CANVAS.

Lily Hatchett invited former United States Naval Academy (USNA) Midshipmen Officers, Barnaby Ruhe and Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II to create works of art at the legendary, live-action multimedia art event featuring performance art, live bands, dance, fashion, video presentations, and DJ’s for a spectacular, marathon party and Modern Art Music Movement™ Happening, in Fort Myers, Florida, inside the historic, Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center, lasting two days and nights.

The Modern Art Music Movement™ Happening evolved organically, within the Hatchett Production, manifesting the largest work of art ever created by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II on canvas, a triptych titled, “Ronald Reagan and His Monkey”. The colossal work of art has appeared in music videos and television show backdrops but has not been displayed in public since the event, due, in part, to its considerable size and the necessity of a spacious venue for proper exhibition.

The U.S. Naval Academy was established in 1845. The mission of the USNA is “To develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically.” The campus, known as “The Yard,” is a National Historic Landmark, 33 miles from Washington, D.C. and 30 miles from Baltimore. USNA students must have a congressional or presidential nomination to apply.

The U.S. Naval Academy provides a demanding four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree and a commission as an Ensign in the United States Navy, or as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps.

It is not exaggeration to describe USNA Midshipman Officers, graduates and veterans as loyal, trustworthy and hardworking furthermore, they are not only great leaders but great followers as well, because Midshipman are taught, to both lead and follow, by example.

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY MIDSHIPMAN OFFICER VICTOR-HUGO VACA II

“The academies naturally foster the ability to get along with your fellow man, primarily because you live so close together. You have to be able to relate to senior officers, to peers, and people under you. It’s imperative. This is directly transferable to business.” – James Kinnear, Naval Academy Alumni and CEO of Texaco.

The U.S. Naval Academy is one of the nation’s best business schools, producing highly skilled individuals prepared for the battles that comprise the war of business.

Since World War II, America’s military academies have produced 1,531 corporate CEOs, 2,012 corporate presidents, over 5,000 vice presidents and thousands of small-company entrepreneurs.

The U.S. Naval Academy training includes life-long lessons in honor, teamwork, and discipline that cannot be duplicated at civilian universities or MBA programs.

Lily Hatchett published, Indie Film and Art Reporter, NYC , from 2009-2016, focusing on obscure art and film.

Lily Hatchett’s, “Global Warming Art Report” party, was also the first time the iconic, sociopolitical, “Crackhead Jesus is coming” sticker, was seen in public, after its controversial, headline-grabbing debut, at Art Basel Miami Week, during the 2007 Holiday season.

Though the sociopolitical sticker, catalogued in the Library of Congress reference book by DB Burkeman, “Stickers: From Punk Rock To Contemporary Art”, caused quite a stir because it was prominently displayed atop the canvas of fine art graffiti, created throughout the 48 hour party, Hatchett Productions did not censor the provocative artistic expression, in spite of some protest.

“The truth is artists are only millionaires on paper. They have to sell their work, and according to the IRS, their work has value whether it’s sold or not. I have small sketches, prints and paintings; they can all be valued at something.”- Barnaby Ruhe

THE FOUNDATION FOR “RONALD REAGAN AND HIS MONKEY” STARTED WITH SPRAY PAINTED GRAFFITI, BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II, THAT MANIFESTED INTO COLORFUL CHARACTERS AND VISTAS IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.

In a U.S. News & World Report 2011 survey of high school guidance counselors, regarding national universities and national liberal arts colleges providing the best undergraduate education in America, the U.S. Naval Academy ranked #1.

In 2012, U.S. News & World Report ranked the U.S Naval Academy as the #1 Public Liberal Arts College in the nation, for the second year in a row.

In the 2012 U.S. News & World Report college rankings, the U.S. Naval Academy tied for 4th Best Undergraduate Engineering among non-doctorate-granting institutions.

“I WAS OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MYSELF, AS AN ARTIST, ON A MASSIVE BLANK CANVAS, IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE FULL OF LEGENDARY ARTISTS, AT A TRIPPY, TWO-DAY, NON-STOP PARTY, TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING; SO, OF COURSE, I SEIZED THE DAY AND FLOWED INTO THE UNIQUE MOMENT, WITHOUT HESITATION.” – MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II

In 2016, the United States Naval Academy was ranked #2 in Public Colleges, #9 in Liberal Arts Universities, #17 best undergraduate institution and #24 Top College by Forbes magazine.

“THE ART OF CREATION BEGINS WITH A BLANK CANVAS AND AN OPEN MIND.” – VICTOR- HUGO VACA II

The U.S. Naval Academy teaches Midshipman Officers how to be effective leaders by exercising how to take command, execute orders, and making sure that those orders are carried out swiftly.

BEFORE ENTERING THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY IN 1989, THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II, HAD TO PROVE HE WAS RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY AND HONEST ENOUGH TO GRADUATE FROM THE USNA PREP SCHOOL IN NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND.

“You were never outside the environment in which leadership mattered. We marched to class and we marched to every single meal, constantly in the presence of someone exhibiting leadership.”- Robert Herres, U.S. Naval Academy Alumni and retired CEO of USAA, a $60 billion insurance company.

“If you look at the majority of successful people in business, the common feature of most of them is that they get things done, they deliver, they execute. That’s built into the DNA of what you’re taught at the military academies.”- Pete Dawkins, West Point Alumni, Heisman Trophy winner and vice chairman of Citigroup Private Banking.

BEHIND THE SCENES: “RONALD REAGAN AND HIS MONKEY”, WAS FEATURED IN THE ROCOPERA MUSIC VIDEO FOR, “SHAKE THE CITY”, PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY, MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.

“The academies are designed to produce leaders, and I think good leaders are successful irrespective of the medium they’re working in. You can have a terrific idea, a great plan, and bad leadership, and you’ll fail. You can have a bad plan and really good leadership, and still figure out how to make it successful. Leadership is the single most important ingredient in all institutions. If you have bad leaders, the rest doesn’t matter.” – James Kimsey, West Point Alumni and co-founder of America Online.

IN 1989, MIDSHIPMAN OFFICER VICTOR-HUGO VACA II WAS ADMITTED INTO THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY CLASS OF 1993.

“Once you absorb that, your whole mindset changes. In battle, if you’re leading a company up a hill, and that night you have to write letters to all the mothers whose sons got killed that day, for whatever reasons, you realize there is no excuse. If you’re a CEO whose company is laying off thousands of workers because you failed to understand how the market changed, you also realize there is no excuse for those people now out of a job.”- James Kimsey, looking back on how Plebes at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy are taught to respond, “No excuse, Sir!”, when their personal shortcomings and failure are exposed.

THE SCALE OF VENUE AND ARTWORK CREATED BY VICTOR-HUGO VACA II CAN BE SEEN IN THIS AERIAL VIEW.

“The Academy training gives you an attitude, and it’s the attitude that makes the difference. When I deal with Academy people in the business world, and I am asking for something to be done, I know it’s going to get done. I don’t hear a lot of, ‘Here are my excuses,’ but rather, ‘I am going to get it done, regardless.’ And that’s leadership.”- Ron Jones, Naval Academy Alumni, senior vice president at Veridian, a computer and engineering company.

“We learned at the Academy that the Honor Code had no geographical boundaries or limits. It applied at all times, whether we were in or out of uniform…. At first it was rather intimidating. One slip-up could mean expulsion.” – Gil Dorland, from his book, “Duty, Honor, Company”.

The United States Naval Academy, implants into the fiber of being of all Midshipman Officers, key success factors and qualities in areas of the private sector, such as: honor, ethics, and integrity.

“If you don’t have honor, integrity, and ethics, it will be found out and people won’t deal with you. Whatever you do in the business environment, your word is most important. You’d better do what you say you’re going to do. Once you lose your credibility, your value diminishes dramatically, both through the eyes of the people that work for you and the people you deal with. It’s sort of a sine qua non of being successful.” – Jim Kimsey, America Online co-founder.

“The fact is, honor, ethics, and integrity are key success factors in many areas of the private sector.” – Eric Grubman, Naval Academy Alumni and a partner at Goldman Sachs.

USNA MIDSHIPMAN OFFICERS VICTOR-HUGO VACA II AND JEFF EGAN.

Elite business schools like Wharton and Harvard hold military academy graduates in high regard. In the Harvard Business School class of 2001, 37 students had bachelor’s degrees from Harvard, in second place for undergraduate training, were the service academies, with 24 alumnus.

“At Wharton, leadership was a class that we took. At the Academy, leadership was a way of life.” – Ron Jones, who attended the Naval Academy and Wharton, contrasting the education he received at each institution.

The U.S. Naval Academy excels at teaching Midshipmen Officers the art of communicating swiftly and clearly with the rank and file, a skill necessary for successful CEO’s.

“Every day, you interact with your classmates and with your professors. You have got to communicate from day one as a plebe when you’re being hazed. You’ve got to communicate with your peers to survive.” – Joe Gudenburr, West Point Alumni and vice president of manufacturer, BuckBee-Mears.

Business leadership and stress go hand in hand; attending a U.S. military academy, like the USNA, provides practical stress management training.

“The academies are the finest institutions in the world at teaching honor, ethics, integrity, and loyalty. What you learn at a place like West Point will remain with you throughout your business career.” – Alexander Haig, President Reagan’s first Secretary of State, on U.S. Military Academies like the United States Naval Academy and Air Force Academy.

THE MISSION OF THE NAVAL ACADEMY PREP SCHOOL IS, “TO ENHANCE MIDSHIPMAN CANDIDATES’ MORAL, MENTAL, AND PHYSICAL FOUNDATIONS TO PREPARE THEM FOR SUCCESS AT THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY” – MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II

Platoon leaders don’t have time to consult with headquarters during life and death combat situations, therefore Midshipman Officers are trained to make crucial quick decisions on their own, which translates into a valuable skill, in the war of business.

“Communication is very poor on the battlefield; so commanders have to react to the situation rapidly on their own with relatively limited information. There’s no time for the chain-of-command to issue orders. This is very characteristic of business. Businesses that do this well end up with higher performance.” – Jerry York, former CFO of Chrysler and IBM, vice-chairman of Tracinda, an investment company, and West Point Alumni.

“Too often art is about the hawking of wares, rather than about the quality of life and the human experience. Art has always existed. Humankind obviously has a need for intangibles. Even something seemingly as simple as entertainment is deeply rooted in humans, we have been entertaining each other right from the first storytellers who described occurrences and faraway places.” – Lily Hatchett

“Having survived two Plebe years, at NAPS and the United States Naval Academy, nothing fazes me; I see no limitations, only challenges.” – Maverick Artist Victor- Hugo Vaca II

USNA MIDSHIPMAN OFFICER VICTOR-HUGO VACA II

“What are the things that you can’t see that are important? I would say, justice, truth, humility, service,compassion, love. You can’t see any of those, but they’re the guiding lights of a life.” – Jimmy Carter, United States President and U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Class of 1946.

TO CATCH A SERIAL KILLER Is Doctor Charles Edwards Zodiac Ted Cruz Favorite Alleged Serial Killer?

Tracking a serial-killer is like trying to put together a moving jigsaw puzzle. Serial killers leave crumbs of evidence in plain sight because they can’t fight the urge to want to get caught. For most people, the hard part is seeing the crumbs for the clues they are but intuitive artists, detectives and investigative journalists often see past the truth. After all, what good are all those brilliant crimes if no one takes the credit?

In a world where the Washington Post, NPR, NBC and other news outlets have focused on long term character traits and behavior patterns for morning show hosts, and Hollywood producers, should people worry about an elite spinal-surgeon, described in news publications as a slum-lord who according to government officials, almost ran an airline into the ground and female subordinates claim is a sexual predator serial-killer?

For 30 years, from 1985 to 2007, Lonnie Franklin Jr., a 63-year-old former police mechanic from Los Angeles, California, allegedly killed over 180 victims; though, some crime analysts estimate the final body count attributed to him, may be over one thousand murdered. After a victim survived his attack in 1988, Franklin Jr. took a break from creating ghosts, until 2002, when the urge to murder became too strong. Because of this break in his killing spree, Lonnie Franklin Jr. is nicknamed, “The Grim Sleeper”. Franklin, according to prosecutors, was invisible, and able to blend in perfectly amid the chaos of a city which was blighted by crack cocaine.

In the award-winning film, “Crackhead Jesus: The Movie”, art imitates life. Inspired by curious allegations of Washington D.C. area stalked by a serial-killer-spinal-surgeon that surfaced from individuals close to Baltimore area investor, airline owner and doctor, Charles Edwards MD. According to an F.A.A. insider, Charles Edwards MD, allegedly purchased Kiwi Airlines to run down maintenance on airplanes as acting CEO, in order to get away with murder, since Airline CEO’s don’t get arrested for murder after fatal plane crash disasters. A Federal Aviation Administration report found Kiwi Airlines planes to be unsafe to fly and the company was shut down by the FAA because Kiwi Airlines planes were found to be in “unairworthy condition”.

The Story of Alleged Serial Killer Spinal Surgeon Dr. Charles Edwards

Growing allegations that Charles C. Edwards MD, described by People magazine as, “a uniquely inventive orthopedic surgeon who has added radical new techniques to skeletal reconstruction”, could feel empowered to act, in the Age of Harvey Weinstein, to kill unsuspecting tenants, patients and customers, on a grand scale, by using lawyers to manipulate a broken two-tier justice system, that affords corporations like GM, CEO’s like, Don Blankenship and allegedly well connected serial-killer-spinal-surgeons working for Sisters of Mercy to hide behind publicly perceived protection and receive immunity from punishment under corporate shields, inspired the New York born Hispanic artist, Victor-Hugo Vaca II to create a Modern-Art-Graphic-Novel titled, “Redemption: The Story Of The Crackhead Jesus Trials”.

Redemption

The work of modern-art-gonzo-journalism explores circumstances behind the allegations that a world renowned spinal surgeon could be an alleged serial-killer flying under the radar for decades emboldened by weak investigative journalism, corporate greed, corrupt government and a broken justice system in the United States of America during a year of election.

The work of art titled “Capicua 3:1:3 – The Long Arm Of The Law The Story Of Alleged Serial Killer Spinal Surgeon, Charles Edwards MD” inspired the award-winning independent short-film produced by the Modern Art Music Movement titled, “Crackhead Jesus: The Movie”, directed by Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr, at the 2009 Delray Beach, Florida Film Festival during a seventy-two hour film competition.

Alleged serial-killers like Lonnie Franklin Jr. and Charles C. Edwards MD are alleged to have tallied a high victim count. Republican, Ted Cruz, let it be known to Jimmy Kimmel in front of a startled live audience, that in fact, the Canadian-Born-Christian-Conservative, not only has a unique favorite breakfast cereal, he has a favorite serial-killer too.

Is Charles Edwards MD Ted Cruz’s favorite alleged serial killer?

The following quotes from newspaper articles fueled rumors that Charles C. Edwards MD had allegedly set his sights on being the most prolific serial killer in history by using money, influence, profession and a shield of corporate lawyers to protect his murderous ways:

MIAMI HERALD ARTICLE Grand View Palace North Bay Village, Florida

The Baltimore surgeon who owns the Cherry Hill Apartments filed a lawsuit yesterday against the township, seeking to stop Mayor Susan Bass Levin from completing the condemnation of his property.

“The suit, filed by owner Charles Edwards in Camden County Superior Court, seeks to block township officials from declaring the 41-year-old apartment complex on Route 38 a redevelopment zone”

“The apartments were deemed “unfit for human habitation” in early August. Its 61 residents were evacuated and placed in other apartments in town.”

THE GRAND VIEW PALACE & CHERRY HILL APARTMENTS – SAME, SAME BUT DIFFERENT.

“The Cherry Hill Apartments are in desperate need of rehabilitation,” Levin said, adding that the Township Council is set to vote Monday on repossessing the property. “I suggest he stop hiring lawyers and do something to make the buildings safe again.”

“township officials had told Edwards several times about their concerns over the buildings’ condition – which led township, county and state agencies to cite Edwards for violations ranging from faulty lighting to dead animals on the premises.”

Charles C. Edwards, the surgeon, acquired the buildings in 1995 but could not come up with the capital to rehabilitate them, and the township threatened condemnation. A 1998 township report called conditions “deplorable,” and the last 40 tenants were evacuated. Viking acquired the buildings in 2002.

Each building has 217 apartments. Together they constitute the third-largest high-rise housing complex in the township.

Susan Bass Levine, the mayor of Cherry Hill, said the structures fell into disrepair before their current owner, Charles C. Edwards MD, of Maryland, bought them about four years ago; Edwards has not been able to turn the property around.

“It’s currently a building in crisis that could be a shining star,” she said.

The township will give the current owner, a surgeon who Morgan said did the residential development of Pier Three in Philadelphia, a few more weeks. After that, if he does not sell it or take action to do the improvements, the township will take steps to have the high-rises condemned and taken over.

HIGH RISE HELL – THE GRANDVIEW PALACE

A day after Kiwi International Airlines thought it had won a reprieve from a Government-imposed death sentence, the Federal Aviation Administration yesterday grounded the struggling carrier, saying that it was unsafe to fly.

KIWI Airlines – Unsafe To Fly

It was the first time the Government had shut down a scheduled carrier since Valujet was grounded in 1996 after one of its DC-9’s crashed in the Everglades, killing 110 people.

The F.A.A.’s order cited a series of maintenance and safety violations that it said resulted in Kiwi flying airplanes that were ”in an unairworthy condition.” In one case, Kiwi flew one of its four jets for two days in late February without fixing an oil leak in one of its two engines, the agency said.

When reliable sources contacted modern-art-gonzo-journalist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. with verifiable facts and information regarding an alleged serial-killer spinal-surgeon living and working in the Baltimore, Maryland/Washington D.C. area, the multimedia artist rewrote the script for, “Crackhead Jesus: The Movie”, to include the serial-killer-spinal-surgeon theme as a subplot in the controversial film that would go on to become a cult classic in the age of OJ Simpson.

Crackhead Jesus: The Movie Film Slate

Public trust in police and newspapers has reached such a low point in human history, that victims and witnesses have turned to modern-art-gonzo-journalists to “paint the news” being ignored by financially strapped mainstream media news outlets and police forces, in the hopes that someone, will do something positive with the clues and information presented in works of art inspired by actual events.

Recently, Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. was contacted by Sean Welsh, an editor at the Baltimore Sun, regarding modern-art-gonzo-journalism. Supposedly, Welsh passed information along to staff writer Christine Jedra, an investigative journalist, who contacted Victor-Hugo by phone for an at length interview from Las Vegas, Nevada. When all was said and done, Christine Jedra, who claimed to work for “The Capital Newspaper” in Annapolis, Maryland, admitted that she was new at the job of reporting news and that she had no idea what to do with the information she had been provided.

So, if you come across a spinal-surgeon from Baltimore, named Charles C. Edwards MD, be forewarned, he is an alleged serial-killer and if you have faith in what you hear on the news, realize that public trust does not top the list of priorities for cash strapped news outlets, trying to survive in the age of OJ Simpson.
