I can understand her frustrations but she has brought them on herself (either knowingly or unknowingly) by selling dodgy financial instruments so I would guess that all her contacts might be for naught with the minibond scandal hovering around like a dark cloud. Being a purveyor of dodgy investment...

I don't hate bankers. I don't hate anybody. But, I do strongly dislike bankers that push dodgy products.
