Comparisons to corporate scum are completely mindless, you have a bloke goes to work on a train one day, ends up with his life ruined. Biggs was a coward who was not man enough to face up to what he had done.
Good riddance to him!

BS Malcolm, it is not mindless to compare Corporate scum to a few thugs who rob a train, ask the thousands of people who's lives are ruined by these people.
People have committed suicide because of these crooks who get a slap on the wrist for their crimes.
The GFC was partially caused by corporate crime,which as effected millions across the world,and up to now as far as I am aware no one has been brought to account.
Again, ask the people who's lives were ruined by Bond, I am sure they would put you straight.
Cheers
