Remember the fare dodging banker in London?

[DaveB]

Just lost his career.

BBC News - Fare-dodging banker banned from City

Karma can be a bitch...

Karma can be a bitch...

Bet his wife will be bitching too when he gets home. That's his career in ruins

[Zippy]

And his statement suggests he still doesn't accept he's a thief

"I recognise that the FCA has on its plate more profound wrongdoing than mine in the financial services sector, and I am sorry that my case has taken up its time at this critical juncture for the future of the City and its reputation."

Self-serving, "poor little me" bullshit:

Fiddle £40k or fiddle £40m, it's still thieving.

Zippy! Long time no see

[vetran]

he sort of had a point.

hiss penny ante thieving is almost embarrassing compared to Libor etc fiddling.


I wonder if the other scum will get as harsh treatment?

The great unwashed don't understand libor fiddling. They do understand fare dodging.

that is my worry

So why £42K he had to pay up?

Surely he didnt say, its a fair cop and admit he'd been doing it for years? Surely, he should just have said, I did it today or just this week after all..... Not saying its right but £42K!

And how'd he avoid the ticket collector on the train? they're red hot on the train I catch. Go for a crap and they wait outside the door!

Maybe using his Oyster as described demonstrated he'd not got a ticket each time? Or maybe he was asked to prove he'd bought tickets - receipts or card statements - and couldn't. Seems a bit odd. Maybe he thought by paying up he'd keep his job but then lost out twice, or maybe his employer told him he'd get his bonus/benefits provided he helped them save face.

Maybe they have perves working on your train.
