Hertfordshire fraudster jailed
A fraudster from Hertfordshire has been jailed for four and a half years for committing an elaborate £700,000 bank fraud.
John Disley, 46, used commercially sensitive information to withdraw large sums of cash from deposited cheques at the Royal Bank of Scotland just before they bounced.
He used the cash to fund a lavish lifestyle which included splashing out £30,000 for a palm tree at his villa.
The monies were electronically transferred to a number of accounts or individuals linked to Disley in the short window of opportunity available to him, Preston Crown Court heard.
He was found guilty last month of conspiracy to defraud £675,937 from the Royal Bank of Scotland and £214,000 from a financial services company between May and December 2010.
