- Bank says it ‘does not tolerate unethical behavior’ from staff
Wells Fargo & Co. fired more than a dozen employees last month after investigating claims that they were faking work.
The staffers, all in the firm’s wealth- and investment-management unit, were “discharged after review of allegations involving simulation of keyboard activity creating impression of active work,” according to disclosures filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
