“Coincidentally this story is also running under the headline that she admits defrauding £400k, but hey, what's £100,000 amongst friends? Clearly small change to these journalists, when it suits.”

“For the life of me I cannot understand how any company could let this sort of thing go on under their very noses for so long undetected.”

“A far better sentence would have been to make her sell off all her assets and exist on basic benefits until every penny with interest had been repaid.”
