It's worth pointing out that KPMG was Wells Fargo's independent auditor while the bank recently committed fraud on a massive scale by creating more than a million fake deposit accounts and 560,000 credit card applications for customers without their knowledge or approval.[1]
Calling KPMG a "well-respected auditing firm" when they failed to detect over a million fake bank accounts is a joke. See:
