German 'Robin Hood' banker gets suspended sentence
A German bank employee who secretly transferred money from rich to poor clients has been given a 22-month suspended prison term.
The 62-year-old woman, dubbed the 'Robin Hood Banker', moved more than $11m (£7m) in 117 transfers.
The court in Bonn was told that the employee, who has not been named, took no money for herself.
The bank made a loss of more than $1.5m (£1m) when poor customers were unable to pay back unauthorised overdrafts.
The employee was accused of allowing overdrafts for customers who would not normally qualify for them.
Small pension
She then used the money from richer customers to temporarily disguise the loans during the bank's monthly audit of overdrafts.
The woman has begun reimbursing the bank for the losses, reportedly from a small retirement pension.
She could have faced a four-year prison sentence, but the court decided on leniency as she had confessed immediately and did not profit personally.
The woman was also considered to have suffered enough, through the loss of her job and the requirement that she pay back the lost funds. (my view)-The woman did NOTHING wrong..the rich have it made.......they do not struggle and this just proves the helping the poor and doing the right thing.....gets you arrested ect.....A FUCKING HATE THE GOVERNMENT...we want want want..thats all you think about....MORE MONEY! sick

I think what that woman was doing was very brave and a very good thing! We need more like her!!! I hope she gets her job back, I dont understand why SHE has to pay the money back! xxxxxxxx
I agree with you she did nothing wrong because what is so wrong with wanting to help people. The banks push us over the edge with all of their fees and interests, so what else did they expect. Then she has to suffer for it by paying them back out of her retirement pension, that is sad and the bank should have just given her a type of leave from work and then bring her back but with requirements. Like you said though darlin, the rich has it made because if all they are worried about is how much money they lost instead of what is going on around them then they are the ones that need to be punished.
What is BD, you have this as an interest?
