Wells Fargo is considering taking back some of CEO John Stumpf's compensation

The nearly $50 million in stock-based compensation given to Tolstedt while she oversaw the division that created 2 million credit and debit card account for customers without their knowledge had come under fire recently, especially during Stumpf's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.
