Nonetheless, for now, Moynihan seems to be making more friends than enemies. So far, his boldest moves have to do with consumers. First of all, in February, the bank stopped charging customers overdraft fees on debit-card purchases they couldn't afford.

"If the Russians think this war is being waged on television screens, somewhere in the far-off Caucasus ... then God willing, we are about to show them that this war is coming to their homes." The government has faced criticism for failing to heed his threats, even after he took responsibility for the bombing of a train traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg in November that killed...
