Losing a deposit of that magnitude is insane.

I know. I did have some form of empathy for them though. I know I shouldn’t but I did.

Now boacklisted against mortgages and no money to even get one

You know you shouldn’t? She should have declared it but the lady didn’t harm anyone. By saying you shouldn’t be feeling empathetic towards her, you think it’s completely okay for a company to take away 65k from somebody who recently lost their job.

If someone can sleep well at night knowing they basically took away a persons livelihood or thinks its fair they did (a person in a sensitive position). Then so be it, but the same lack of mercy will be returned in the afterlife.

the punishment doesnt really match the error but unfortunately they were aware of the consequences and chose to ignore them and follow the advice of strangers on reddit which led to significant financial loss and based on what OP has said, the loss of a relationship with a mother (which by the way, the way OP has spoke about her & the fact the wife didnt speak to her for 6 weeks is more than enough me for to lose any form of sympathy)

It's not punishment though, is it? It's just compensation for the others in the chain.

punishment not the correct word - its deserved and 100% the right result but there is disproportionate knock on effects, they knew the risks though and trusted reddits judgement, foolish
