IMCer | 25.03.2009 10:48

According the corporate media Fred Goodwin, the ex-head of bailed out bank RBS, has had his house and car in Einburgh attacked.




The Guardian ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/mar/25/sir-fred-goodwin-royalbankofscotlandgroup) writes that a group claiming responsibility had emailed threatening further action against "criminal" bankers. The Telegraph ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/5047751/Edinburgh-home-of-former-RBS-chief-Sir-Fred-Goodwin-vandalised.html) report "Hours later, the Edinburgh Evening News received an email from an anonymous address reporting the house had been vandalised and suggesting it had been in connection with the row over Sir Fred’s £700,000 pension payout."

All reports so far report that Fred is out of the country, and that the state owned bank has been paying for his security. Reports are saying that there is now a police car outside his house to guard it.
