the bank's employees opening millions of unauthorized accounts to meet sales targets. The
documentary highlights how the bank incentivized its employees to engage in these fraudulent

promotions despite the scandal. The documentary exposes the systemic corruption within the bank,
and how it prioritized profits over the well-being of its customers. Overall, the episode sheds light on
the unfair practices and corruption that led to the Wells Fargo scandal, and the need for greater

In the first episode of the Hard NOx Dirty Money Season 1, the documentary sheds light on
the Volkswagen emissions scandal. The scandal revealed that Volkswagen had installed software in
their diesel engines to cheat on emissions tests, thereby violating regulations and harming the
environment. This was a clear case of corruption and unfair practices carried out by the company, as
they knowingly misled regulators and consumers. The scandal resulted in a hefty fine for Volkswagen
and damaged its reputation. The documentary serves as a reminder that unethical practices can have
severe consequences, both for the company and the society as a whole.

Disney V. Desantis Why Florida’s Governor Took on America’s Media Giant

The feud between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis centers around the company's
political expression and the state's attempt to penalize Disney for it. The conflict began when Disney
opposed the "Don't Say Gay" bill. In response, DeSantis criticizing the company for prioritizing woke
culture over the interests of Florida citizens.
The dispute escalated when DeSantis signed a bill into law that would penalize companies that
engage in political expression by withholding state incentives. Disney was one of the companies
affected by this law, as they received millions of dollars in tax incentives from the state of
Florida. Disney filed a lawsuit against DeSantis, arguing that the law violated their First Amendment
rights. The company claimed that the law was an attempt to silence their political expression and
punish them for exercising their constitutional rights. The feud between Disney and DeSantis
highlights the tension between corporations and politicians over the issue of political expression. It
also raises questions about the role of corporations in politics and the extent to which they should be
allowed to express their views.

practices such as bribery and embezzlement to gain a competitive advantage. It had severe
consequences for the company, including hefty fines, reputational damage, and legal action. The
scandal highlighted the need for stronger internal controls and greater transparency in corporate
governance.

2. What do you think would be the outcome if the corruptions or unfair practice were not
discovered per video?

I believe, if the corruption or unfair practices were not discovered per video, it could lead to a
number of negative consequences. Firstly, the individuals responsible for such actions may continue
to engage in such behavior, which can harm the affected parties and the wider society. It could also
lead to a loss of trust in the system and institutions meant to uphold fairness and justice. Ultimately,
the consequences of not discovering or addressing such corruptions or unfair practices can be far-
reaching and detrimental to society as a whole.

doings per video?

suspicious activity to the credit bureaus. Lastly, I will express my concerns and opinions to Wells

help to hold the company accountable for their actions and encourage them to make changes to
prevent similar issues from happening in the future. Lastly, support organizations and advocacy
groups that work to promote consumer protection and financial accountability.

advocate for organizations that promote transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior in both the
