Because maladministration has not been rare in the banks, and while some (Goodwin, for example) got a slap on the wrists, others (Hornby for example) seem to have walked away unscathed. Are the crimes at the Coop any different. Or is it that, unlike the big banks, the Coop was not "too big to fail". gastro georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-62140033661787326332017-02-14T17:44:13.449+00:002017-02-14T17:44:13.449+00:00What would this mean for the customers?What would this mean for the customers?H Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168602979049073774noreply@blogger.com
