They'll probably change their name (why hello Accenture), and the people associated can now put the untainted name on their resume.



Heh, had no idea about that one!

I had recently been thinking about how terrible it would be to have a resume with a Wells Fargo job ending in the last couple months.


That's a good point, but I would hope employers would be able to distinguish situations clearly created solely on:

a) the upper management level (Wells Fargo, Theranos)

from:

b) the employee level, whereby the employees themselves use private data for advantage and personal gain - DraftKings comes to mind here[0][1]

I disagree. 5,300 low level employees actively chose to create fictional bank accounts in order to meet their goals. Even if some middle management tier recommended that they do it, I think it says something about the moral fiber of every one of those employees to be complicit in that.
