Lloyds Bank employee sold customers' account details

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8677125/Stupid-Lloyds-Bank-customer-adviser-27-sold-account-details-50-gambling-addict.html

A customer adviser for Lloyds bank sold customers' account details to her friend who was a gambling addict.

Jaspreet Marwaha, from Birmingham, gave the information of more than 80 accounts to Mohammed Saif Maqsood, from Blackburn, who paid £50 for each set of card details and swiped between £82,000 and £92,000 from them.

[...]

Both were sentenced to 22 months in prison suspended for two years for conspiracy to defraud. Marwaha was handed the same sentence for   charge of fraud by abuse of position which is to be served concurrently - at the same time.

    22 months. Does that mean they'll actually serve 11 months? If so, not a bad return.
    Edit: Just read the report. Suspended sentences, even better returns.
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    After reading the whole report, in which it is stated the she's now an assistant producer for sky sports, I don't know whether to laugh or slit my wrists.

    Doesnt set a good example does it, yes she felt coerced into it but she still abused her position of power amd the 2 both get suspended sentences.

    After working in a branch for 3 years, nothing surprises me anymore. People take big risks for as little as £5 a go. 
  • The article does not show or tell us how the money got out of the accounts?

    As it's a Daily Mail article I don't think we will ever know what really happened.
