Frightening isnt it, daughter steals from her mother, but with the help of corrupt bank employees.

Shocking state of affairs if you cant trust staff at the bank.

No wonder the bank guarantee is being reduced to 1 million.

Guess that is so those few dishonest bank staff can continue their tricks and the banks are only responsible for the 1st million of any fraud/theft.

Nor me after being stiffed by more than one over the years, lied to and over charged. Which is the bank in question here? oh the good old defamation laws for telling the truth!

You got off lightly, before I started using wise they held onto a transfer until the rate went down and cost me 40k baht. Another time they charged for a transfer when the bank in the UK had already done that. Both times they would not even answer emails from the bank in the UK.

Fair question. I guess this, 'A police investigation revealed that Mawadi was behind the transactions, with the involvement of a number of bank employees.' gives a fair idea of who 'disappeared' the money. Yeah, blame the bank, why not?

A nasty business for sure for your second post . . . sorry I missed your debut!

If this is a completed case and a bank was implicated, it can hardly be defamation to name them as the details must surely be in the public domain already when sentencing was dished out, so does anyone know who was involved ? it would be useful information that their aren't alarm bells going off in a bank some of us may bank with when fraud is taking place. 

There is no possible way this could happen in the UK. You can't fart in a UK branch now without the IT systems going into meltdown!
