    A Wells Fargo spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company “holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior.”

    Says an unethical piece of shit corporation that secretly opened millions of unauthorized accounts of their customers to collect bogus fees, appease their shareholders and financial status.

    Were the executives fired? No. Were they jailed for financial fraud? No.

      “Highest standards” my ass. My job provides service to Wells Fargo; their fraud claims department is full of the rudest, most condescending people I’ve had the displeasure to work with.

      It’s unethical for the workers to pretend to open those accounts by using software to trick their administrators into looking busy.

      My ex-MIL worked for Wells Fargo and opened an account for me to help meet her quota. Then I started getting overdraft fees because there was no money in the account to pay the monthly fees for the account I didn’t want or use. I had her close it. So yeah the whole company was kinda duplicitous.
