    What a brilliant story, it’s almost like fiction but it really happened and it couldn’t have happened to a better bloke. I love the way he went about what he did. Brilliant.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dan Gets Twitchy
Q: Was there ever a time for you that you went, you know what, I'm going to call the NAB, I'm going to tell them what's been happening, and I'm going to say, I'll show you how it's been happening if you give me a job, for instance?
Saunders had heard of people approaching organizations after discovering problems, but he did not think the bank would engage constructively or offer him a job.
Dan Gets Twitchy
Q: That anxiety that you were having, was that about The Glitch ending? Was it about going to jail?
Saunders says his anxiety was not simply about his conscience. He feared the bank could take action, and he also wanted to recover his former sense of self.
Fat White Kayne
Q: Why didn't he just buy a house? Why didn't he buy property, you know, et cetera? Why didn't he get into crypto, you know? Why didn't he send the money offshore?
Saunders says he would not be discussing the story if he had set money aside, and he believed the money would be taken from him anyway. He also says the bank contacted him many times as the transactions grew.
Fat White Kayne
Q: Have you ever stopped to think about what you would do if you're in Dan's situation?
Saunders says he was focused on having fun and treating people, while staying alert to the need to reach the ATM for each transfer. He kept the activity hidden from his family and became anxious that the scheme would be discovered.
Turning Point
Q: Is it hard to spend money?
Dan says shopping takes a long time, recalling that it took about six hours for five women to choose items at Prada. He says his own thoughts were focused on how much he needed to transfer, how much debt he owed, and how long he might go to jail.
