Banker stole £40,000 from dementia patient (From Daily Echo)

Scumbag got what he deserved.
Boo hoo - "he has destroyed his life, he has lost his job and his reputation and he is in danger of losing his house"
There can be no excuse to justify it. Hope the money is reclaimed.
He's got the opportunity now to think about what he's done and rebuild his life when he's served his time.

"Mitigating, Keeley Harvey said Moss knew Mr Poole had a substantial amount of money in his account but did not realise he suffered dementia."

Dont we love these spouting briefs as they try and get their clients off with cr@p like this. I'm surprised he didnt have the old 'drugs, drink,unhappy home life etc etc' rubbish wheeled out.

2 years? i.e. 12 months and then back to screwing more money out of vulnerable victims in order to feed the 'habit' of gambling

Lets hope he loses his house, any profit given back towards the amount he stole, and an attachment against future earnings until the balance is paid back.

I am glad so far no do gooder has expressed any sympathy with this lowest of the low scum bag.
Evil guy was in the right heartless profession that with the help of Bush Brown and Obama etc have taken billions from the public and left us the people to pick the price. Obviously this heartless monster was following the example of his peers.
His property etc should have been confiscated and handed over to the victim.

You don't half write some twaddle, yes the bank have been bailed out by the taxpayer, (it's happened all the whinging in the world aint going the change that) but that has nothing to do with story or crime.

You are so boring, everything you go on about is always politically motivated, no matter what the subject you always bring back to politics, you really need to get a life Paramjit.

As for this scumbag, Hulla and the King Mush are right.

An attachment order to any further earnings made by this piece of cr@p, will be given back to the bank, HSBC have paid the gentleman back all the money this thief stole.

Barristers are paid good money to defend their clients, but some of the twaddle they use as excuses absolutely crack me up, he pleaded guilty to get a lesser sentence, so no mitigation should be offered or accepted.

To be fair most judges don't give a monkey's what the barristers say, once the defendant have pleaded guilty.

Well, well, well. When the story of his original trial was in the Echo, I think a relative and some others from Milford-on-Sea posted that there was a genuine reason for this theft and it was very unreasonable to suggest that Moss was a "low life". Well, I’m afraid, "low life" doesn't do him justice. The "genuine" reason was a mistake that he tried to cover up by moving the debt to another branch, where his victim banked, and he stole this vulnerable mans money to cover his tracks and gambling debt he racked up to cover his original mistake (Yikes!). What utter rubbish. A thief with a gambling problem, the very worst person, picked on the poor man with dementia (Boo-Hoo, I didn't know he had dementia). Well, 12 months in the nick is just not long enough, but hopefully the cost to him in debt, the hopeful re-possession of his house and the misery of knowing he is a convicted thief without a conscience, will go some way to paying his debt to society.

Just to correct you if I may, HSBC are one of the only banks who WERE NOT bailed out by the taxpayer :) Apart from, spot on.

Hatchet Harry, thanks for the correction. I own the mistake.
My View from the hill, I respect your views and defend your right to express those. Nobody has ever forced you to read what I write, intelligent thing to do will be if you hate what I say, just skip it. Try that next time please!

"You are so boring, everything you go on about is always politically motivated, no matter what the subject you always bring back to politics, you really need to get a life Paramjit."

@Hatchet Harry. Apart from being offensive, what a stupid thing to say. In my view everything is political and have a political angle.
Thats life.
If you want something changed in society you have to think political.
Apart from the HSBC bit, Parmajit is spot on.

I too recall his mother, his friends and other apologists/minimiser
s/excusers commenting on this forum when convicted. Now, he has been sentenced, their silence is deafening.

This man deserves every moment of personal misery he may experience.

I don't hate everything you say, I just don't agree with every subject being a forum for political points scoring, on this subject you, I feel you let the subject be overshadowed by the banks being bailed out, even you must see there no relevance to this man's crime and Brown Obama or even Bush

Both you and I as individuals have different views of the same subject. (Vies from top of the hill may be obscured by clouds and at the bottom of the valley full of floods created by crisis of capitalism!!!)
Seriously, I see the link in the headline, it is banker. Admittedly reporter has promoted a crook cashier to a banker, thus creating the link.
To you it may be very complex, but this crook has betrayed the trust and cheated a vulnerable person. The 'Bankers' on the top have also done the same at many times the larger scale, betrayed the trust and cheated most of the world economies. All of them should have been locked up.
I agree with IW61 in democracy virtually everything is governed by political decisions.
Our standards of living, education of our children, health care, employment etc, to pretend otherwise is simply playing ostrich. Even the sports which I would like to keep million miles away from political frictions are in fact affected by political decisions.
Obviously I do not expect everybody to agree with me.
Even one of the greatest man of last century Churchill strongly disagreed with even greater character of the last century Mahatma Gandhi to whom he'd even insulted by describing as 'Naked Fakir'.
So my friend let us agree to disagree.
Kind regards.
