Citywire: Gang groomed bank staff in multi-million pound scam
Mortgage fraudsters wined and dined staff from sub-prime lenders and entertained them with boxes at Premiership games but used chainsaws and guns to intimidate people who stood in the way of their multi-million pound scam, a recent British Bankers Association conference heard.

you mean this bit:
"Chandler handed the case files to the police but no arrests had yet been made, he said."
I wonder how many senior banking figures were involved then. this is the sort of expose that in a less corrupt country, would be front page news.
