It seems that a series of happy accidents put millions in their accounts. If I cock up paperwork it usually costs me money.
In fact I cant ever remember something working out in my favour. I think that Ms James team calculates that banks were undepaid by 168 million in interest payments.
That is a sizeable sum by any calculation. it illustrates that this is not a victimless crime.
I am guessing that they thought that they could get away with it.
I would suggest that any fine has to be for at least that amount plus a premium for putting everybody to that trouble.
I would also suggest that the authorities need to close down the accountants who enabled this fraud. They should not be operating these criminal schemes.
I m going to buy the Art of the Deal where the stable genius explains how to defraud banks.
