Wells Fargo: 3.5 Million Accounts Nobody Asked For

The employees weren't stealing for themselves. 

They were opening fake accounts to hit sales targets 

set by a management system that punished failure 

and rewarded numbers — real or invented. Three point 

five million unauthorised accounts. Fees charged 

to customers who had no idea they existed. And a 

bank that called itself a community institution 

while mining its own customers for quota points.

This episode of Dark Money: True Crime Finance goes 

inside the Wells Fargo scandal — how a corporate 

sales culture produced fraud at industrial scale 

without a single mastermind, what eight is great 

actually meant, and why three billion dollars in 

fines still didn't feel like enough.
