Scandals in corporate America, e.g., Wells Fargo’s choice to defraud millions of its clients, Enron, Bernie Madoff, and the dozens of banksters associated with the sub-prime loan collapse, go back many decades.  In fact, the Wikipedia page on the subject lists the collapse of the Medici Bank in the 15th Century as an example of malfeasance.
