Obviously, this information makes it difficult for NAR to describe Wells Fargo as a company that "protects and promotes the interest of their clients."  

In my personal experience, NAR could care less about protecting the client. Their number one priority is to protect the interest of their personal bank accounts.  For this reason, NAR should revise the Code of Ethics and replace the "Golden Rule" with the "Greedy Rule."
