Lloyds TSB being done for Money Laundering, surely not!

Lloyds TSB says it will vigorously defend a money-laundering lawsuit brought by US prosecutors.”

If this is all sounding too familiar, read the rest of the story here

It would seem that UK-fraudsters’ favorite high-street bank, doesn’t just do work for UK citizens, apparently, they’re quite helpful in the US as well. Good on yer, Lloyds.

Let’s see if a writ doesn’t help things…

Dear Mr Lloyds TSB,

Following our writ issued on 9th October we would like to request you ‘get out of that one’ since you have already confirmed “…you didn’t make a mistake…” followed by “…we were unwitting parties to the fraud…”. No doubt Mr Fitzwilliams might be more than aware of “unwitting” element of your statement.

See you in court.

A Friend.

Business Development Managers on the take!

Interesting that a Business Development Manager at Lloyds TSB in Scotland has been involved in a mortgage scam.

I wonder if this is the only Business Manager Lloyds TSB have had over the last 3 or 4 years that has been on the take - Somewhere in the Peterborough region, for example?

Lloyds TSB - Britain’s favourite bank - for fraudsters

So, going to court; all of a sudden the Bill of Exchange and Cheque Acts no longer apply.

“we didn’t make a mistake” and “we were unwitting parties to the fraud” were 2 such statements from The Bank which seem to contradict one another - see you in Court Lloyds TSB, eh?

So, if you want to launder your money; if you want to get any old cheques paid into any old account; if you want to dupe the General Public into parting with £millions, please give your local Lloyds TSB a shout - they offer this as a ‘value add’ to their clients.

No doubt once the criminal case against the fraudsters also starts, they and the DTI will be paying the price for ignoring both their duty and their inability to spot an event “…which has all the hallmarks of a large scale fraud…”* when they see one.
