according to the judge
"I have found that this case is not about the sums of money involved. This case is about the filing of the expense claim and the conduct of the claimant thereafter.

"It is significant that the claimant did not make a full and frank disclosure at the first opportunity and that he did not answer questions directly."

Judge Illing added: "The claimant was employed in a position of trust in a global financial institution.

basically the bank asked him if he bought lunch for his partner and he wouldnt fess up. thats what he was fired for
