He was a lawyer, so not one of their banking buddies.
And they spent 6,000 man hours on the case - god knows what they would spend trying to catch a real crook...

bidin - you should take a look at this : http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts2000/ukpga_20000008_en_17#pt14-l1g206
206 Financial penalties (1) If the Authority considers that an authorised person has contravened a requirement imposed on him by or under this Act, it may impose on him a penalty, in respect of the contravention, of such amount as it considers appropriate.
(2) The Authority may not in respect of any contravention both require a person to pay a penalty under this section and withdraw his authorisation under section 33.
(3) A penalty under this section is payable to the Authority.
