I just love the fact that the bank is launching a legal complaint against him for the fraud. I dont know about the rest of you but is someone scammed me out of that much money I'd be launching more then a complaint.

Apparently he has locked himself away in his flat.

What a bloody brilliant idea. No one is going to be looking for him there eeek:

It seems strange…

His lawyer is in contact with him and he says he will cooperate with the police…

Yet the bank says it was a carefully crafted fraud and well hidden so it sounds like it wasn’t just a loss in the day-to-day operations of the bank…

Frog thinks: "Tee Hee, I'll just fill in this transfer of £3.5Bn to Professor "Legs" Akimbo at the university of Lagos, then click 'Cancel' "

Leans back and takes a puff of his Gauloise, then a bite from his garlic and snail baguette, from the end of which pops a hard, rubbery, cooked mollusc and strikes the "Y" key of his PC"

Frog: "Merde, zat is the last time I buy lunch at M&S.  Zeese pants from zee same shop also fail adequately to support my compact French testes"
