The millionaire secretary
Criminal or hero?
In one of the most amazing financial scandals ever, Joyti De-Laurey, a secretary in a banking company, stole 4.5m pounds from her employers in order to buy herself designer clothes, expensive cars and jeweler. She copied her bosses’ signatures, wrote cheese to herself and stole the money from their personal bank accounts. Some people think she was a hero: a modern-day Robin Hood. Others say she was just an ordinary criminal.
Expensive tastes
The 37-year-old from London spent millions. She shopped in the most expensive shops, went to the best hairdressers and regularly ate in the most exclusive restaurants. She bought an Aston Martin car, a villa in Cyprus, and spent more than 350,000 pounds on Cartier jeweler. The more money she spent, the fatter she got. By the time she had spent 4.5m pounds, she was enormous and needed even more clothes in larger sizes.
Enormous salaries
Her bosses earned so much money that months went past before anybody noticed that she had stolen anything. One ex-managing director said, ‘When you’re making 60m pounds a year, a few million missing is like a regular person not remembering the last penny on their account.’
You’re under arrest
Finally De-Laurey was caught in May 2002. Her boss was going to give some money to charity, so he had checked his bank accounts and discovered that there was a fortune missing. The phone foam many expensive things in De-Laurey’s house:
Cartier jeweler still in its boxes, almost fifty designer handbags, and lots more. She never got to live in the dream villa she had bought in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately for her, she was arrested just before she left for Cyprus.
A great artist.
During her trial she laughed and joked with the journalists who described her as the ‘Picasso of Con Artists’. She said that her bosses had told her she could take the money. Unsurprisingly, the jury didn’t believe her story, and she was found guilty. The judge said that she was a born liar and sentenced her to seven years in prison. 1 2
