    Facepalm

    I don't which I find worse...

    ...the fact that someone in such a trusted position (or any position for that matter) would even consider such a stupid act or the fact that as head of security and fraud the silly cow didn't have enough knowledge or common sense to cover her tracks.

    I am of course assuming that she is in fact guilty and that this is not just all some terrible mistake (like happened with those poor MPs not realising that a duck house or a pad for your mistress might not be a refundable expense).

      Re: How much??

      How she thought this would go unnoticeable isn't important. How can you run up £2.46 million in expenses? is what needs to be answered.

        Exactly my thought... If this was her fraud amount, how much were the "genuine" expenses? The mind boggles!

    How on earth did Lloyds

    let the fraud get to £2.5 MILLION before they clocked it ? Thank goodness I don't bank with the incompetent shysters.

      Indeed....

      That works out at £16K a month approximately.

      Sixteen thousand pounds a month in expenses? Four thousand pounds a week, every week for over three years?

      And that is, presumably, on top of the legitimate expenses she claimed...

      How on EARTH could that have happened?

    I have to admit to some quiet admiration for her ambition

    if you're going to steal, don't piss about with a few twenties here and there: go for broke.
