The Post Office Scandal: 'Double Your Money': Wendy Buffrey

Wendy Buffrey was the subpostmistress in Up Hatherley, Cheltenham from 1998 until 2008, following which she was convicted for false accounting.
There is nothing in Wendy's story of the Post Office scandal that was done correctly. This includes her training with Horizon, the response of the help-line, the response to the request for support she made to the National Federation of Subpostmasters, the audit of her account by the Post Office, the interviews she had with the Post Office, the way she was both prosecuted and defended in court and the prescription of antidepressants that were high risk for suicidal overdose.
Wendy was broken by the appalling way she was treated by Post Office Limited. She has no confidence that she or her colleagues will ever be adequately compensated.

I worked in a high street bank for 36yrs - the only time I worked with a person who stole money - he would make his system freeze - which ment all cashiers working with him also had to reset their computers - internal auditors finally caught up with him-it was found he was withdrawing money from accounts of then deceased people - before the closing balance was transferred to the person who was the named inheritor. Auditors came in early one Monday morning - set up lights,camera & recording equipment - waited until he turned up for work - interviewed him under caution & after 3hours the police were called & took him away.
The company did not take him to court ( made a decision they did not want the bad publicity) Before he came to work for us - he had worked for two other banks……’maybe’ he had been asked to leave those banks also !
