Ex-Lloyds online security banking chief Jessica Harper admitted to a single charge of abuse of position in submitting false invoices to claim payments totaling £2,463,750, and the fraud came to light as part of an internal investigation from within the bank. From what’s revealed by Lloyd’s the thefts took place over a four year period from December 2007 to December 21 last year.

She will pay off some of the stolen cash by selling her £700,000 home and she has already cashed in her pension and bank shares she owned.
