    Oi! All the banks were doing it...we were not looking to gain any financial advantage, just to level the playng field. What would you have done in the same circumstances?

    And what about all those other banks that weren't fixing the interest rates? They didn't stand a chance.

    "Ms McDermott added: "Rabobank's flawed
    assurances and failure to get a grip on what was
    going on in its business were extremely
    disappointing."
