Wow was the first one which came to mind. How the hell can they manage that legally?
Thinking about it, I'm not so sure that hanky-panky was going on. Their accountants had been monitoring the stock market and realised that BP was going down the drain. It was their job. Imagine they had not withdrawn money - everybody would be shouting about incompetence.
As long as private people were not involved, I'm minded to see it as good business practice. I feel very sorry for the small investors who lost everything. No doubt the bank had encouraged their clients to invest like that, now they shrug their shoulders. Actually, I hate all the ones in our local branch. Last time I was there, I sat in full view of this jerk who spent over half an hour on some paperwork before he turned his attention to me. He could have dealt with me first, then the paperwork, but no, the clients can all fuck off. Well now, he can fuck off to the job centre. haha. (Well, not yet, but soon, I guess)
