The Citi sandwich case shows why some rule-benders get a lot more sympathy than others
Citi, the bank whose misconduct costs are estimated at €14.9 billion in just five years, fired an analyst for lying over lunch expenses. Illustration: iStock
The bank decided to investigate whether Fekete, who worked on legal compliance policies, had really eaten all this inauspicious grub, and some suspicious looking pasta, by himself. This would be the same bank whose misconduct costs totalled more than £13 billion between 2014 and 2018 alone, according to data that academics at London’s Bayes Business School compiled for a conduct costs project.
These costs did not necessarily relate to a single individual. And no one wants a bank to employ anyone it thinks is dishonest. But the scale of these sums makes one wonder about dismissing someone for sandwiches and coffee. That’s because of something else that has made the Citi sandwich case so compelling: we probably all know someone who has been tempted to cheat on their expenses.
