Terrible knowing this is going on here in the 21st century, recorded and watching it now, the 'Masters' are mostly Polish, they moved in on a gang operating in the West Midlands and our delightful judicial system bailed him, never to be seen again, he's fled

Near unbelievable it's still a thing, especially here in the UK.

Shocking that one person could open 77 bank accounts in a TSB branch in the same High Street in West Bromwich without suspicion

Yes Bobbisox,
When my wife and I cashed in all our savings from ISA's ,Premium Bonds, Building Society accounts etc etc to bail our son and grand daughters out of trouble and bought them a £250,000 home we were treated like criminals and asked to justify where our hard earned and saved money came from. We were treated as if we were the Russian
mafia and not elderly retired copper and NHS nurse.

It seems a case of, we want your ill gotten gains here when a Polish 'mafia' master opens so many accounts, shocking Retro

People are surprised ? My wife and I experienced something similar to what retro describes, only it was a precisely £2000 gift to our son. When he later applied for a mortgage the interrogation began only satisfied&closed after signed affidavits etc. "Protection against money laundering" they said, meanwhile billions are passing through the country at a cost of £35000, I believe, per person doing the laundering. This has been going on for decades and because of it the UK has been a sick joke the whole time.
