To be fair - once the initial shock of seeing her face on the front page of national newspapers wore off she was quite happy with the €€€ that the firm gave her and the others in compensation immediately afterwards. A few grand for being told you’re better looking that your peers - how bad! (Her words, not mine) I remember the firm being majorly pissed off with INM at the time - story was reported that morning but nobody published the pics. Then the Evening Herald came out that evening with the 10 ladies on the front page - all whilst there was an audit team from the firm out in INM offices

She started working in the bank the same day as me, she threw herself at management staff at a work party and then started dating one of the management staff. 5 months passed and she was a supervisor, then she moved to a team leader 6 months after that. At this stage I was still a customer service jockey at the bottom of the pile. Obvious as a heart attack what went on here. Blond girl, nice body.. It was a case of WHO SHE KNEW and not what she knew... Believe me, this sort of thing still goes on in big companies. It's not the first time I seen a young pretty girl jumping up the ranks.

Years later I heard one of the main employees, really nice guy who had been working for them for 35 years, got sick with cancer. One of the other guys stepped into his shoes but after a few weeks realised something was very wrong and went to the owner. He'd do some small delivery's to places and collect payments (usually cheques) at the end of the month, but when he was delivering the customer would always be correcting the documentation he had, he'd have this customer receiving 2 cases a week on average but they'd say they always got more, then sometimes the customer would pay in cash and he'd wonder why they didn't pay with cheque and the answer was always, the previous guy insisted on cash. They estimated he had stolen hundreds of thousands, but seen he was ill and his family were almost like their own family, the bosses just said to forget about it and it was never mentioned again. Not my work but a relation of my mother's was a Guard in Galway and was caught shagging a married woman in a patrol car by the husband, it had been going on for awhile and this night he followed them, seemingly he did extensive damage to the patrol car and when the senior guards found out they gave this guard the option of retiring right now and no further disciplinary, he obviously took it. Was too large to keep quiet and his lost his wife and family.
He told investigators that the operation was linked to a man in China. He identified a number of Western Union transfers of cash, totalling around €6,000, from China and said he and his co-accused got up to €3,000 for each smuggling operation.He told gardaí he spent the money on pints of Guinness.

A few of years later, one of the members of staff suspected her set came up and when she came into work on the Monday, checked and sure enough, her set of numbers came up. Much elation in the office ensued until the bloke who did the lotto...... admitted that he didn't do the lotto, and hadn't been doing it for some time - he pocketed the money instead. Frankly, I would have been done for murder, but for some reason this guy kept his job.

As such, most banks have it as a policy that all senior staff must take a minimum 2 week holiday during the year (to give someone else a chance to discover if they're running a scam). I had an interesting experience in college when a new lecturer casually mentioned during a lecture that he used to work for he same bank as my father. Asked my dad if he knew the chap to be told not to let him know who my dad was. While on an internal audit team early in his career, my dad had caught your man on the take and indirectly fired him!
