The banker’s call girl

HBOS banker Lynden Scourfield and his cronies ‘financially raped’ small businesses to fund lavish holidays and sex parties in a £245million fraud.

Scourfield enjoyed ‘sexual entertainment... on a fairly frequent basis’ in return for his part in the scam. Cash in £4,000 wads to be spent on prostitutes was delivered to a central London flat where he entertained porn stars and call girls. Nicknamed ‘ funny money’, it was kept in a drawer with a stash of Viagra. Suzie Best, a £250-anhour escort and former adult TV star, described the fat cat banker as a ‘short, balding Danny DeVito lookalike’ after one session at the flat in 2005.
