All he did was put a cardboard cutout of a dime in a washing machine, at the laundry mat, which has nothing to do with his job as a customer service rep for Wells Fargo, he was convicted and let go, he's sorry he did it. stupid people!!!
Warren County court records show Eggers was convicted of operating a coin-changing machine by false means. Eggers called it a "stupid stunt," but questions his firing.
Big banks have been firing low-level employees like Eggers since new federal banking employment guidelines were enacted in May 2011 and new mortgage employment guidelines took hold in February, the newspaper said. The tougher standards are meant to clear out executives and mid-level bank employees guilty of transactional crimes — such as identity theft and money laundering — but are being applied across the board because of possible fines for noncompliance.
Banks have fired thousands of workers nationally, said Natasha Buchanan, an attorney in Santa Ana, Calif., who has helped some of the workers regain their eligibility to be employed.

He was convicted of a crime, that is clear. Now, did he tell the truth on his application for employment or not; if he lied, he is subject to immediate dismissal at any firm in the nation. Has little to do with what he did but, whether he lied about it or not.
Need more information to make a decision on this one.
>_> He put fake money into a laundering machine. COME ON. Can you not see the lulz in this? O_O XD
Money...laundering *rofls* This is the only reason I'm saying fair, otherwise it's foul. Legally it's correct however =p
