DAVID HUGHES | LAING O’ROURKE
“I think it’s the right thing to do. He caused the UK economy such a lot of damage that it’s worth it to make a point. He wasn’t solely responsible for the collapse of RBS but he was very instrumental.”

ALEX IGEL | EMPOWERED SYSTEMS
“Absolutely. I’m a passionate believer in ethical and socially aware capitalism. If he had managed things better then there would have been checks and balance against the collapse happening.”

DANIEL PETTICAN | B OF A MERRILL LYNCH
“Yes. He took an enormous amount of credit for what he claimed to have done and he deceived the public and the shareholders. On numerous occasions he claimed there was no trouble in the US.”
