The Revolut UK banking chief executive also just quit 'for unrelated reasons' after texting a death threat to a customer: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/05/13/revolut-executive-shotgun-customer-fintech/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/05/13/revolut-exec...
- silisili 3y agoThis is so hilariously bizarre. Why does a customer have a bank executive's personal number? Why was the account frozen? Who did the exec think he was texting? And who was he going to be waiting for armed? I feel invested at this point, like I've watched a movie that just cut off in the middle...
- heavenlyblue 3y agoWhy did the executive have customer's phone number?
- silisili 3y agoThe article seemed to imply the customer had been texting complaints directly to the executive, not that the executive just cold texted a customer a weird threat.
- zx8080 3y agoIt's hard to believe a normal person would death-threat some random contact instead of blocking.
- ztrww 3y agoTrue. But since he said that he’ll be waiting at his own home that probably means that the unhappy customer was threatening to visit him which is also a bit scary…
- heavenlyblue 3y agoCan you please link the URL where that conversation is actually disclosed?
- ztrww 3y agoI don’t think it is? I mean I obviously think that the executive’s message is deranged but I can’t think of any other scenario why would he write something like that. Unless he’s talking about waiting at the customer’s house …
- Mistletoe 3y ago> He has taken up a new executive role at telecoms business Lycamobile. Unbelievable. It’s impossible for people in this caste to fail.
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoIf they were allowed to fail then they might not take the big risks that they deserve big rewards for taking! And then what would be left to trickle down to everyone else?
- thdespou 3y agoIf something is fishy they can still catch him.
- Incipient 3y agoHaha it's absolutely hilarious. You can fail so utterly maliciously and just get your best mate at another company to hire you on 10x salary. Absolute. Gold. In an unrelated matter, experts are baffled at the ongoing weakness in the banking sector.
