First assignment...continued

After thinking about companies in the news for fraud, I came up with a candidate: Capital One. Not so long ago, I read and retweeted a news article on fraud at the company (or maybe a similar bank). I ran a Google search to view recent news stories on Capital One. The following four stories stood out:

And an interesting article on culture at Capital One:

I thought I would see/find more pervasive fraud (fraud in a particular department, fraud leading to a restatement or something similar). This company might work. I will think about this some more & look around for more examples.
