A former investment banker, who was behind the bar for nine years over Britain’s biggest attempted cash fraud of £72million, is out of jail and has resumed work in a cryptocurrency firm under new name, stated a media report.
Jagmeet Channa, who was convicted for manhandling accounts while at HSBC’s Canary Wharf headquarters, now deals with clients and potential investors at a cryptocurrency firm, claimed a media report, adding that the firm’s website gives no indication of his role in what the judge described as a “sophisticated criminal enterprise” in 2008.
Channa, from Ilford, east London, has reportedly resumed work as ICO Operations of Liquidcash, a firm which promises a “payment system designed to bring crypto payments into the real world”.
As per a report by Mail Online, his online profile says his responsibilities include “project management of all key stakeholders” and the first point of contact for potential investors. During the period he was in jail, his online LinkedIn profile claims that he was working as a business analyst for a firm called SK Berkeley, the report said.
Channa told Mail Online that his employers knew of his past, and his role was to build software, not related to finance. He also told the media outlet that his LinkedIn CV was not done “intentionally” and he will fix it soon.
Channa also said he changed his name to “Jag Singh” to make it more “dynamic” and denied boasting about his criminal past when recruiting staff.
In April 2008, it was reported that the then 25-year-old bank clerk, using colleagues’ passwords, wired £71,632,807 to a Barclays branch in Manchester and to a French bank account in Morocco. However, the debt was soon discovered and an investigation was launched.
