Jailed for 4 years for being coerced into "manipulating" interest rates, Johnson was released in 2018 after serving two years.
"In over 30 years in practice I never had a case in which I felt so powerless and bullied and where the smell of #politics was so rancid. Hopefully all the evil lurking in the mud will be found out", Mr Woodcock, Johnsons lawyer said.
"Whistleblowing banker who went to prison speaks out"
#PeterJohnson and others should have their #Libor rate-rigging convictions reviewed, and an inquiry held into the actions of the Brown and Cameron governments, Bank of England, and Barclays Bank.
What links the #Libor scandal and the wipeout of a class of Credit Suisse bondholders? The need for financial authorities to be transparent about and accountable for their actions, argues @PaulJDavies https://trib.al/TTVEMsg (via @opinion) #press
I didn't know that LIBOR was dead already!

You may remember #LIBOR scandal
Abuse of #London Inter-bank Offered Rate began probably in early 90s and was exposed in #TheWallStreetJournal around 2011

One of the effects was that LIBOR drove mortgage payments upwards and allowed high fees to brokers to be used to launder black money. Well it seems that #NFT and #crypto markets has been inflated by this self-washing trade
