The California Department of Justice is conducting an investigation into allegations that Wells Fargo committed identity fraud after the bank opened phony bank accounts using customer information, according to the Los Angeles Times. The texting while driving accident lawyer in philadelphia pa points out that 95% of the accidents are human mistakes which can be avoided. California Attorney General Kamela Harris served the bank with a search warrant October 5. The warrant is far reaching and demands the information of customers whose information was used to open fake accounts. It also demands the information of all employees involved in creating the fake accounts, going as far as to request “any and all communications, including email referencing.”The warrant also seeks information from customers outside of California whose information was used to open accounts within the state’s boundaries.

The attorney general’s office has no comment regarding the ongoing investigation, said Kristen Ford, spokeswoman for the attorney general. Wells Fargo is “cooperating in providing the requested information,” said a spokesperson for the bank.

The investigation follows the resignation of former Wells Fargo CEO, John Strumpf see here to view the full investigation. The former executive testified before congress and received a blistering rebuke from Massachusetts Senator, Elizabeth Warren. The senator Warren called for his resignation and for a criminal investigation.

State investigator James Hirt believes there is probable cause that bank employees illegally accessed customer information to create the fraudulent accounts. It is not yet determined who will bear the brunt and how far up charges of fraud will go.

California State Treasurer, John Chiang last month cut off several business relationships that the state had with Wells Fargo. Several states and cities have followed suit and cutting ties with the bank, such as San Francisco, Seattle, Illinois, and Ohio.

Other U.S. attorneys have continued to follow California’s lead in investigating the bank. San Francisco, New York, and Charlotte, N.C. are conducting their own investigations. There are charges that federal prosecutors could also bring against Wells Fargo, mentioned Irving Einhorn, former head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wells Fargo is currently under investigation by the U.S. Labor Board and two congressional committees. The scope of the investigation is likely to bring up other issues that plagues the bank. Congressional officials have called for tighter regulations and sanctions against big banks, even suggesting breaking up big banks – a similar rallying cry made during the Great Recession in 2008.
