SAN FRANCISCO, CA – So what happens when you work for a bank and get caught creating phony accounts that steals money from customers? For one you get fired, but we`re not just talking about one rogue employee here.

Over 5,000 workers have been shown the door after being caught creating over 1.5 million fake bank accounts. Why? It was all in the name of meeting those all-important sales goals.

While the sales team was hitting their quotas Wells Fargo customers were getting hit in the pocket. Some people were charged overdraft fees when their money had been unknowingly moved from their account to fund a fake one opened in their name.
