Times reporter reveals how he broke the Wells Fargo story

The city of Los Angeles on Monday filed suit against the largest California-based bank, Wells Fargo.

According to the complaint, Wells Fargo encouraged employees to engage "in unfair, unlawful and fraudulent conduct" through high-pressure sales. 

The suit was sparked by an investigation in 2013 by the Los Angeles Times.

E. Scott Reckard wrote the story, and he joins the show with more.
