One bank that came below the expectations with its figures – Wells Fargo – once again came under scrutiny.
The San-Francisco based bank has fired more than 100 people for allegedly defrauding one of the #coronavirus relief #funds coordinated by the US Small Business Administration.
According to a report, the employees made false claims in their applications for “coronavirus relief funds for themselves.” However, the applications were made outside the position they held within the bank.
