Robin Hood banker gets suspended sentence
A German bank employee who secretly transferred money from rich to poor clients has been given a 22-month suspended prison term.
The 62-year-old woman, dubbed the ‘Robin Hood Banker’, moved more than $11 million in 117 transfers…
The court in Bonn was told that the employee, who has not been named, took no money for herself.
The bank made a loss of more than $1.5 million when poor customers were unable to pay back unauthorised overdrafts…
The woman has begun reimbursing the bank for the losses, reportedly from a small retirement pension.
If her pension is anything like my Social Security check, she’ll be 247 years old by the time she finishes picking up the tab.

Sometimes people do the wrong things for the right reason. It is unfortunate that she got caught before we met.
