Wells Fargo Fires a Dozen Employees for Pretending to Work - Here's How They Tried to Get Away with It

Wells Fargo has fired more than a dozen employees after investigating claims that they were pretending to work. 

The workers, who were all employed in the firm's wealth and investment management unit, were let go last month after it was discovered they were allegedly involved in 'simulation of keyboard activity,' Bloomberg reported Thursday.  

According to disclosures filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the former employees were 'creating an impression of active work' through simulation tools.
