WTH? Accounting software developed in the late 1990s by a company purchased by Fujitsu led to FALSE IMPRISONMENT in the UK.
Because of this buggy software, 900 UK sub-postmasters and postmistresses were “prosecuted for theft and false accounting.”
“Neil Hudgell, a solicitor representing 400 people directly affected by the scandal and 77 sub-postmasters wrongly convicted … said just three people had been paid full and final compensation.”
