Do bankers ever change?

If you think banks losing our money is a modern phenomenon, our history tells us a different story.

Henry Fauntleroy a Partner in a leading Banking-House, who forged Securities of the Value of One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Pounds, and was executed at Newgate on 30th of November, 1824.

100,000 people crowded into the narrow streets surrounding Newgate prison to watch the event. This is one of the largest crowd ever assembled to witness a hanging .

These days a simple ‘sorry’ will let our bankers retire with a substantial pension !
