In a statement, Wells Fargo said it “holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behaviour”.

Given the things Wells Fargo has been guilty of in the rather recent past, this reads like a punchline.

It is always the villainous who see villains everywhere.

I suspect the fired employees will ultimately be happier somewhere else.

Even in Germany that would be considered fraud. In the USA probably even more so?

What would be considered fraud, simulating keystrokes?

IANAL but: you signed a contract and you're not providing your part of the deal if you don't work. Simulating keystrokes and being caught is just proof enough.
