Looks like another financial fiddler has succumbed to temptation. Aussie, Cameron Poole, the Orchestra’s former finance director, allegedly defrauded the publicly-funded company to fund a lavish lifestyle, refurb his house and make trips back to Oz.

Telegraph: Counsel Andrew Thomas had said that legal action began a few days after the LPO’s employees uncovered to their shock and dismay ”compelling evidence of a substantial fraud” by Mr Poole.

”In short, Mr Poole made payments to third parties – to make payments in respect of refurbishment and a rear extension to his property, jewellery, artwork, flights, books, clothing and other items and services – using the claimant’s cheques and credit cards.”
