Aye - spotted that yesterday. Bit of a plonker.

It makes me wonder how much other BBC bit part players get paid. £50000 for a few days every month?
Even over a couple of years it's nice work if you can get it.

So this guy gets locked up for swindling a few grand yet the real rogue traders (bankers) swindle ,gamble and lose several million pounds and where are they now? Certainly not in jail where they should be.

Surely for it to be ironic he wouldve needed to have been done for being a rogue trader? Not a benefit fruadster?

but yes, its not good...

I thought he tackled fraudulent traders as well as rogue traders, but I could be mistaken.

Astonishing. Another one of those 'how in God's name did they ever imagine they would get away with it?' stories.
