The old lady didn’t even notice that she was missing 206,344 euros. The bank teller she trusted just used her account.
She is a high net worth customer of a bank for a special clientele. She trusted her personal relationship manager, who has been in banking for 30 years. Until he “slipped”, as he admitted to Judge Stefan Huber in the Vienna court: divorce and a house in Germany where his parents live and which needed renovation.
His credit-hole-to-hole-close tactic backfired: “It’s embarrassing when a banker’s loan is made due.” So he used someone else’s account – but earned points for refund!
Didn’t lead a luxury life
“An old woman who doesn’t notice because she has enough money doesn’t make it any better,” says Mr. Rat. “He didn’t lead a luxury life”, lawyer Normann Hofstätter counters – and agrees with the eight months imposed on his client, who was exposed by an anonymous whistleblower.
