Here’s a heart-warming tale about a banker. Yes, really. Erika Schmidt, dubbed a female “Robin Hood” bank manager in Germany, has been accused of stealing from rich customers to give to the poor.
“I couldn’t bear to see my less-fortunate customers go hungry”, she said after being arrested and charged with helping them out to the tune of more than £1 million. She now faces a prison sentence. Perhaps she should have awarded the money to herself in the form of a bonus or bet the lot on a horse that is still running. Then she could look forward to a generous handout from taxpayers.
