Answer preview

The action taken by the US Justice Department focused on the fake accounts run by this organization and not on the lawsuits filed by employees on mistreatment, client borrowers, or even homebuyers that have been the recorded cases. A deferred prosecution agreement was involved in legal proceedings to resolve the criminal actions of falsifying bank records and running fake accounts. Under this agreement, Wells Fargo is not to be prosecuted for the next three years if only it abides by specific conditions that include further continued investigations. Furthermore, the organization reached a civil settlement with the government over its fraudulent activities $3 billion fine covering for the three investigations.
