USB lies to Congress in 2003 that Hispanics' money is safe even as USBank was stealing it at same time USB to House 2003:Hispanic Funds Safe!

Whole bunch of funds disappearing from Latino account holders, eh ?!?!? So, is that the result of just one bad employee (and just how can that happen?), a seriously flawed system, or an intentionally-corrupt policy of fraud ?? And you'd think by this time that U-Suck Bank could have figured out how to move funds around for a customer without royally phucking up the process.... its such a fundamental part of banking. Corruption and incompetence.... 5 Star Guaranteed !!! Ho-Hum.....

US Bank was apparently receiving complaints about this same employee and missing money a year beforehand, as early as April 2004, according to the article. If US Bank was receiving complaints from customers a year ago, why didn't they do anything to put a stop to it immediately? Ethics at this company and dividends
