  • That's the thing, the neighbour of a friend of mrs_com was a victim recently of exactly the method I described (£30k although nothing to do with Glazer Delmar) and neither the bank that hosted the bad actors' account nor the solicitor could give a fuck. I only know as she got wind of what my job is and contacted me.

    Until they can be shown to be negligent through not preventing it, the consumer gets fucked.

    It's an interesting philosophical question - at what point does it become negligence to not deploy a means of stopping your clients from being defrauded?

  • It probably doesn't even need to be shown as being negligent - The regulator has leeway to impose massive fines on banks for just being a bit shit.
