George Hartzman spent well over a year, perhaps 2 years trying to get the Greensboro News & Record and every other local media outlet in town to help him blow the whistle on Wells Fargo for ripping off its customers. George begged congressmen and senators to hear his story but nobody would listen. They all called George a fool-- sometimes publicly. Finally, Matt Tabbi of Rolling Stone Magazine looked into George's story and posted to his blog about it leaving every publisher in Greensboro making lame excuses for not doing the story first. Only Brian Clarey, Editor of Yes! Weekly was man enough to admit he had made a mistake. The rest cowered behind their computers.
Today I'm happy to announce the local media has again missed the story as Kenneth Schortgen Jr of The Examiner writes Need for asset retention leads to fraud at major bank years after credit crisis telling how the very plans Wells Fargo forced George Hartzman to sell to consumers were in-fact fraud.
Remember Greensboro: Thus far, George Hartzman is the only person to have announced his intentions to run for Mayor of Greensboro in 2012.
