| 122. Author: we won the cup in 68 Date: Fri 11th Oct 2013. 15:24 I would argue James Crosby and Peter Cummings. Hornby inherited a whole world of mess and Crosby then got a job with the FSA!! Reply |

| 124. Author: JohnnyW Date: Fri 11th Oct 2013. 15:27 "For the record, Bank of Scotland at the time was solvent, they had attempted to buy Nat West but lost out to RBS and as such became a target for a predatory take over. With a view to avoiding this, they merged with the Halifax B.S. The merger took place in 2001 and Masterton retired in June 2001." They may have been solvent at the time but they were well on the road to their failing due to the culture of lending the Masterton and his mates has started.

| 125. Author: londonparsfan Date: Fri 11th Oct 2013. 15:32 True main man was a bit harsh but a huge part of the "throw money at everyone" came from his (and others - particularly the two you mention) changes in policy after the Halifax merger. Hornby was doing it on the retail side (to start) and Cummings was on the corporate from what I remeber. The appointment of Crosby as head of the FSA was nothing short of a scandal seeing as how he was essentially placed in charge of overseeing complaints against his time at HBOS. Funnily enough,nothing really happened. Reply |

| 127. Author: we won the cup in 68 Date: Fri 11th Oct 2013. 15:37 Halifax never had a Corporate arm, Cummings was given free reign and the rest is history. Cummings was the only one ever fined over the whole disaster. Reply |
| 128. Author: Frank Grimes Date: Fri 11th Oct 2013. 15:38 Pretty much all the banks were at fault for the collapse in 2007/2008. They interlinked so much debt amongst themselves that when the housing market crashed in the States, everyone was exposed to it (HSBC amongst the most at risk on the face of it) and inevitably they all suffered. Whoever it was that suggested reading "The Big Short" I thank them a lot, it gives a really good insight into what happened. Reply |
| 129. Author: Minchy Date: Fri 11th Oct 2013. 15:41 nice read, JohnnyW. is this not criminal? obviously not, but it would make a great investigative TV program if all the "crimes" of GM and his BoS colleagues were brought together in an hour at prime TV time. Reply |
