Instead, the billionaire businessman said claiming those losses allowed him to keep his real estate empire afloat when others went belly-up. (Associated Press)

That comes after Wells Fargo has been fined $185 million by regulators who said bank employees opened more than 2 million unauthorized deposit and credit card accounts to meet sales goals.
