Wonder how many other borrowers have no idea they were remodelled by a bank!
In 2010, Dublin lawyer Vincent Martin and his colleagues were contacted by a man who was at loggerheads with the Irish Nationwide building society, a local bank. After obtaining the bank’s files on his account, the man had discovered the bank, which has since merged with Anglo Irish Bank,
had created a new version of him for their credit committee.
So they could lend him more money during Ireland’s bull market, banking
officials had changed the man’s occupation, inflated his roughly $39,000
annual salary to $78,000, and forgedboth his and his employer’s signature.
