CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - A judge has ordered Wells Fargo to pay another $17.8 million to a suburban St. Louis woman who claimed the family trusts were mismanaged.
The ruling Wednesday by St. Louis County Circuit Judge Carolyn Whittington is in addition to $77 million in damages awarded in May to Barbara Burton Morriss of Olivette.
A Wells Fargo spokesman says the company disagrees with the verdict and is considering appeal options.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1jAObhN) reports that it wasn't a complete win for Morriss. The judge also ordered her to pay $5.9 million, ruling that she was partly at fault for losses.
Morris filed suit in 2012. It alleged that San Francisco-based Wells Fargo failed to fully disclose financial transactions in two family trusts that were drained of millions of dollars.
