How we nailed the crooked HBOS bank boss who cost us £11million

Lavish cruises on superyachts, sex parties with porn stars, holidays to Barbados… the exploits of the crooked bankers found guilty this week of plundering £1billion from small firms defy belief.
Their extravagance and greed has seen them compared to the characters in The Wolf Of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

But for Nikki Turner this was no Hollywood film script. These were real wolves, baying at her door.
And when the mother of two finally tracked down Lynden Scourfield – one of the fraudsters who had ruined her life – she was given a shocking insight into their shamelessness.

‘We’d been trying to get through to him for days and I finally got him one evening at 6.30pm,’ she recalls. 

‘He picked up the phone and told me he was in a hotel in Birmingham and he’d just got out of the shower. “I’m naked,” he said. “I’ve just got a towel on.” It was so inappropriate; I didn’t know what to say.’
