The irony has to be that there is so much thought going into understanding the motivations of Altman.. and almost to find acceptable justifications… not a luxury he or POL afforded to the subpostmasters… the cynic in me assumes that this behaviour on behalf of clients is far from unusual amongst professionals… where were/are the POL whistleblowers amongst internal counsel, external counsel, accountants, NEDs??? The first Computer Weekly article should have been enough to spark professional curiosity for POL senior management, board & advisers and for just one lone brave principled senior professional to shout from the rooftops… there is something seriously wrong here.. Corporate governance with echo chambers, overly connected individuals who bounce around board positions and wilful blindness seems to be the reality. They appear to have no shame.
Thank you, Richard, for your "final comment". A final comment from me "if I may" (as they love to say....).
It's this: If you were a lawyer offered the task of pinning Altman to a charge of "reckless ", in either professional or criminal proceedings, wouldn't you rather relish the task and fancy your chances?

I sincerely hope that the wonderful Sir Wyn Williams reads your articles, Professor Moorhead.
