It was 2016, and the bank Wells Fargo was in a lot of trouble.

Wells Fargo's fake account scandal has done a real number on the bank's reputation.

This is truly outrageous.

Thousands of Wells Fargo employees at bank branches across the country opened millions of illegal

accounts.

The employees of the bank were caught opening millions of fake accounts in their customer's

names.

The Wells Fargo fake account scandal is bigger than originally thought.

That's my question about Wells Fargo.

How far up the line did this go?

Some former employees say they were pressured to sell account add-ons to customers to meet

what they say were unattainable sales goals.

The story rocked the banking world.

Here's our colleague Ben Eisen.

The thing about this scandal is it kind of revealed a sort of rot at the core of the

bank.

I think there was something bad going on inside this bank for a very long period of time.

In last week, one executive was sentenced for her role in the fake account scandal.

She was the only person from Wells Fargo to face a criminal penalty.

But that isn't the end of the story for Wells Fargo because the bank still hasn't recovered.

I think the most interesting thing about the Wells Fargo scandal is just how long it's

lasted.
