Berezovsky: Roman made me feel he was like my son
Tom Peck
Tom Peck is a reporter on The Independent's news desk with an interest in just about everything. In January 2012 he became the paper's Olympics Correspondent.
Saturday 08 October 2011
The exiled Russian businessman and former politician Boris Berezovsky told the High Court that Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, had been "like my son" and that he was a "genius".
Mr Berezovsky, 65, spoke from the witness box for a second day, where he was cross-examined by Mr Abramovich's barrister, Jonathan Sumption, QC.
He is suing Mr Abramovich, 44, for more than £3bn, which he claims the latter owes him after forcing him to sell his stake in Sibneft, an enormously profitable oil firm, at a hugely discounted price.
Mr Abramovich "is genius", he said. "At least in one way. If he wants to convince somebody personally he may serve them so well. And you trust him so much that you really believe he is sincere. He is genius.
"He really convinced me for a long time he is like my son... He is genius like that, no doubt."
Mr Sumption reminded Mr Berezovsky that he had told the court on Thursday that Mr Abramovich was "not smart". Mr Berezovsky replied: "It's not so."
Laurence Rabinowitz QC, counsel for Mr Berezovsky, said in written submissions to the judge that Mr Abramovich's explanation for paying the businessman £1.3bn was "incredible and incoherent".
Mr Rabinowitz said Mr Berezovsky left Russia in 2000, after falling out with then-president Vladimir Putin and claimed Mr Abramovich "threatened and intimidated" him into giving up his interest in Sibneft for a "mere 1.3 billion" US dollars – "a fraction of its true worth".
He said the judge would be able to consider Mr Abramovich's case – that "Mr Berezovsky [and a third businessman] were no more than gangsters offering him 'krysha': protection" and "never really businessmen" with whom he had been friendly and in partnership.
"Mr Abramovich provides a range of explanations for his decisions to make this payment," said Mr Rabinowitz. "Mr Abramovich suggests that some on-going fear of Mr Berezovsky caused him to pay out 1.3 billion dollars to which (he) had no entitlement in law or in honour."
He added: "The explanations offered by Mr Abramovich as to why he paid this huge sum of money are incredible and incoherent, contradictory and obviously insufficient."
Mr Rabinowitz told the judge: "Mr Berezovsky's case is that Mr Abramovich has lied about Sibneft and lied about intimidation.
"Mr Abramovich's response is to seek to brand Mr Berezovsky the liar. The court will have to determine where the truth lies."
Mr Berezovsky is expected to give evidence for most of next week. Yesterday he appeared far more comfortable than the day before, when he had often struggled to answer questions and denied claims that were later shown to be in his witness statement.
In 2005 Mr Abramovich sold his stake in Sibneft for £7.4bn, which was the largest transaction in Russian history at the time.
The case is expected to last up to three months. Mr Abramovich will give evidence in November.

You may have read reports this week that put Uber in hot water. A company executive has reportedly been caught following a journalist using the company's back end software, and talked about spying on people who say bad things about the service. That has shocked users around the world. That reaction confuses me. If you're using a phone, you don't get to complain about privacy anymore.

I love gadgets. Love them. I would get around all day wearing Google Glass on my face, a fitness gadget on each wrist and a phablet in my pocket to tie it all together, provided it didn't get me punched in the face. This morning while suiting up for Melbourne Cup festivities, I ran into a problem: I found that none of my wearables were up to the job of blending in with a suit. And that got me thinking.
The Best Device For Reading Is Still The Phone In Your Pocket
For long-time book lovers, reading on an electronic device can be disorienting experience. The most obvious choice for those going down the ebook path is a device like the Kindle, completely and utterly dedicated to emulating the traditional experience of reading. I've been seduced by the promise of an ereader many-a-time, but I always find myself reaching for that device never not at my side — my smartphone.
PC Gaming At 4K Is The Killer App For Ultra HD TVs
If you're an enthusiastic PC gamer, there is a legitimately good reason to buy a new Ultra HD TV. Consoles look good at 4K, but it's PCs that do the most to show off the potential of the new display tech. Last Friday, I played Project CARS on LG's new curved Ultra HD OLED TV, in glorious 4K. (4K and Ultra HD are the same thing, of course — it's all just a marketing term for the 3840x2160pixel resolution standard.) Bandai Namco was running a special preview of the racing title, now due to be released in March next year, to show off the LG TV's gaming abilities, so I went along to give a Formula 1 car a test drive around Mount Panorama.

When we packed our bags for a week-long holiday to Maui, it was the only dedicated camera we took along.
We Need To Talk About Upload Speeds
Opinion: Australia is home to some incredible high-tech businesses, and Aussies can access some technologically amazing services — take video on demand, for example — with the quality of internet that we already have. Our download speeds, on the world stage, are okay. In the long and ongoing and convoluted and annoying argument about the National Broadband Network and about our countrywide internet, though, we're all getting caught up talking about downloads, and it's uploads that really matter.

We have an older deck we are looking to fix up without totally building a new one. We are planning to remove all the railings, and remove and replace all the deck floor planks with new pressure treated lumber decking.
The deck had previously been painted, although most of the paint has peeled off. While the railings are off, I would like to sand them in preparation for staining the entire deck. The railings are just 2x4s which have been at an angle along one of the long ends.
What is my best bet for a sander to sand off the remaining paint and get these ready to be stained? we are hoping to also use the same sander to sand our fence in preparation for painting later this summer as well.
Thank you!

Sand and dust are also kept away from the iPod while inside, however, the company warns against heat and sunlight damage.

Progress Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Orbix, Artix and Orbacus product lines to Micro Focus International plc. The total consideration to be received by Progress is $15 million plus the assumption by Micro Focus of the liabilities associated with these product lines.
Once finalized, the divestiture of these product lines will enable the company to complete the divestiture of its 10 non-Core product lines ahead of schedule, leaving the company to focus its innovation on a core portfolio of software products that address IT challenges in the rapidly growing cloud, big data, mobility and analytics markets. Taken together, the total sales price for all divested products and products under agreement to be divested is approximately $130 million.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in January 2013. Terms were not disclosed. Upon completion, Progress will have divested all 10 of the 10 non-Core product lines that it announced in April 2012.
Pacific Crest Securities LLC is serving as Progress' financial advisor with respect to the transaction and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP is serving as Progress' legal counsel.

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole. The goal of DevOps is to connect all aspects of app...

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

DevOps is all about agility. However, you don't want to be on a high-speed bus to nowhere. The right DevOps approach controls velocity with a tight feedback loop that not only consists of operational data but also incorporates business context. With a business context in the decision making, the right business priorities are incorporated, which results in a higher value creation. In his session at DevOps Summit, Todd Rader, Solutions Architect at AppDynamics, discussed key monitoring techniques...

During a recent interview, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto was quick to stick up for Nintendo's latest console and its graphical capabilities. It's one of the most criticized points of the console, as you're well aware, but Miyamoto thinks it's more than capable of getting the job done, stating that "When it comes to specific points such as generating high definition graphics we might appear to be rather relaxed and soft on graphics," further adding "the fact of the matter is that Wii is capable enough to cater to the needs of these hardcore gamers in terms of gameplay content as well as the graphical content, so I really don't want people to be concerned about that kind of attitude."
When asked about a new version of Wii with HD, Miyamoto wanted everyone to know that Nintendo isn't behind the times. "the fact of the matter is that technology is evolving all the time and in Japan, for example in the year 2010 all the analogue broadcast will be stopped and shifted into the digital broadcasting. So many things are taking place and we are working in terms of the changes of the technologies all the time." So, Nintendo isn't totally out of touch, and we could see a HD version of Wii release, but will we? "I'm afraid we cannot confirm what we are doing today."
Of course, Miyamoto.

The debate is hotting up. Who will Sami Hyypia select when he has a fully fit and in-form squad from which to pick?
Well, we are not quite there yet. Kemy Agustien, Solly March and Dale Stephens are still out of action for today's game at home to Charlton and Kazenga LuaLua (ankle) is a doubt.
So let's tinker with the question just a little. What team would YOU send out today?
Hyypia made seven changes at Swindon on Tuesday from the XI which kicked off the 2-1 defeat of Bolton.
He could just change all seven back again. After all, the Seagulls were pretty good in that game.
Or he could use one or more of Adrian Colunga, Gary Gardner and Sam Baldock, all of whom have signed in the week since then.
Does Paddy McCourt feature? Does Bruno go back to right-back or stay in the midfield role where has impressed?
What on earth would you do in attack?
Hyypia admits he does not expect to keep all his players happy.
But you don't have to worry about upsetting people. Just give us your 11s (or 18s) for today.

Louis Thomas Hardin wrote poetry, composed music, invented a series of instruments, was signed to a multitude of record labels, and conducted orchestras before royalty. He achieved acclamation in Europe and gained fame when musicians like Janis Joplin covered his work. He was one of the most well-known figures in New York City from the late 1940's to 1972. From these descriptions, you'd think Hardin must have been a very rich and powerful figure, right?

Anzac Square: What The Digger Said
Said the Digger: 'Soon forgot! Soon forgot, the deeds of war.
Better so, may be. . . Why not?
Beauty fades and laurels rot;
Last year's roses are no more.
Fame?' the one-armed Digger said,
'What of glory when you're dead?'
'Stone and brass,' the Digger said. 'Stone and brass: tho' these endure,
Marble flaunting o'er my head
Would be dead, as I'd be dead.
How may any man be sure
That the hearts of men shall hold
Memories of tales once told?
This alone I surely know: earth I am, and earth shall be,
Only Mother Earth can show,
When I go where all men go,
Aught of this that had been me.
Mother Earth, once stained so red,
She must know,' the Digger said.
'Would you raise, in braggart heaps, stone, cold stone, to mark the fame
Of full many a man who sleeps
Where the earth of Anzac keeps
Guard o'er legions lacking name
Plinth and pillar reared to show
Pomp and pride they cannot know?
'They ask no portentous pile, boasting to a heedless sky,
Stirring men a little while,
Subject, then, for sigh or smile,
Not for this do soldiers die,
With our passing let Pride be,
All we ask is Memory:
'Memory of such fair worth as a fighting man may claim,
And a plot of hallowed earth
In the city of our birth:
Earth that bears a hallowed name.
Let it be envisioned there:
Anzac worth in Anzac Square.
'Memory,' the Digger said. 'If so be the city judge
Soldiers worthy, who have bled.
Worthy of her love, the dead,
Shall the city, then, begrudge
One wide acre of her soil
For who saved the whole from spoil?
'Here, it may be, by God's grace, our son's sons may sit at last,
In the People's market place,
Knowing truly, as they trace
Memory of me long past,
'Tis enshrined forever there:
Anzac worth in Anzac Square.'

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - An explosion and flash fire Tuesday at a plant that makes flares for the military injured six people, three of them critically, authorities said.
The explosion at Kilgore Flares Co. was reported just before noon, said Cris Hill, a dispatcher at the Hardeman County sheriff's office.
A Memphis hospital reported that three people were brought there in critical condition and a smaller hospital in Bolivar reported that three people there were in good condition.
County Mayor Willie Spencer, who was at the scene, said the fire apparently was contained to one building, which was heavily damaged.
"It could have been a lot worse," he said. "Any time you have an explosion ... you never know how many people are around."
As for the cause, Spencer said, "I don't think they have a clue."
An operator who answered the phone at the plant's facility about 75 miles northeast of Memphis said the company could not release any information.
The company website says Kilgore supplies infrared decoy flares to counter the threat of guided missiles. The company announced earlier this year a $22.5 million Department of Defense order for flares for B-52 aircraft.
A worker at the Kilgore plant was killed during a flash fire and explosion in April 2001.
The company was bought in 2001 by Chemring Group PLC, a British defense company.

Colombia's Oil Industry: Between Boom and Frenzy
By Sean Goforth, , Briefing
Sandwiched between OPEC members Ecuador and Venezuela, Colombia has for decades looked like an Andean misfit because it was not a major oil exporter. But when Venezuela's foreign minister visited Bogotá in November, he reportedly asked his counterpart, "When is Colombia going to join OPEC?" Quietly, Colombia has become the fourth-largest oil producer in Latin America, after Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil.
Today, Colombia produces nearly 1 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), almost double its output in 2005. By 2015, Colombia's oil minister expects the country to produce 1.5 million bpd. ...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The similarities between the Rays and Red Sox squads that will face off in the American League Championship Series are far-reaching. Both teams feature deep pitching staffs and lineups that emphasize grinding at-bats.
Yet one of the most important shared traits is among the least discussed and, in some ways, most unlikely. In recent years, both Tampa Bay and Boston were accused of far-reaching defensive shortcomings. Now, the two have emerged among the best fielding teams in baseball.
The about-face that has played a huge role in the two teams' arrival in baseball's Final Four. Two teams that had been accused at times of indifference to baseball are now succeeding with a blueprint that emphasizes glove work.
The Rays were particularly focused on their acute need to improve defensively.
"When we had our post-mortem on the '07 season and talked about what we wanted to do in the upcoming winter," said Rays Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, "the big focus for us was on run prevention.
"We felt like that was our biggest Achilles heel in '07 and an area that we could make the biggest improvement. So we focused on improving our defense and improving our pitching."
The Rays accomplished that goal in spectacular fashion. A Tampa squad that gave up a major-league worst 944 runs in 2007 did a radical about-face, giving up 671 runs (tied for third fewest in baseball). That 273 run improvement was the third largest since 1900.
Had the team pursued a gut-and-renovate strategy with its pitching staff, it would have been easy to credit a host of new pitchers with the improvement. Yet of the 13 pitchers who logged at least 20 innings for the Rays this year, 10 were holdovers. Of those 10 pitchers who also pitched in Tampa in 2007, eight had significantly improved ERAs this season. (See chart.)
While the young pitching staff deserves some credit for its collective progress, there can be no question that improved glove work played a huge—perhaps even the largest—part of that improvement.
"This (Rays) team is phenomenal at defense. You couldn't always say that, but they shored up their defense and look what happened," noted Sox pitcher Paul Byrd. "People always said, 'Their pitching is bad—they gave up all these runs.' But they couldn't play defense.
"I think the pitching's turned the corner a little bit, but now all of a sudden they have great defense. Now, all of a sudden, they have great pitching."
In 2007, the Rays often seemed a group of square pegs in round holes in the field. Their miscast defense featured the likes of Aki Iwamura at third, Brendan Harris at short, B.J. Upton at second, Delmon Young in center and Jonny Gomes in an outfield corner.
The result was a cover-your-eyes brand of baseball. According to both baseball talent evaluators and various statistical measures, the 2007 Devil Rays were one of the worst defensive teams of all time.
Statistics for defense remain the subject of widespread debate, and most of the progressive teams (including the Sox and Rays) that use their own defensive measures guard their statistical secrets more closely than the Da Vinci Code. Suffice it to say that many front offices consider error totals and fielding percentage largely irrelevant, since those statistics can reward teams that are sure-handed but with terrible range and ball-tracking skills.
Defensive efficiency is viewed as a better means of evaluating defense. The statistic defines how often a team turns a ball in play into an out. According to Baseball Prospectus, the 2007 Rays had a defensive efficiency rating (defined as the number of balls in play that the team turned into outs) of 65.6 percent.
That mark translated to the worst of any club in roughly a half-century of data. By some measures (including this interesting analysis), the team was more than 100 runs worse than a defensively average team.
Oh, how the world has changed. In 2008, Iwamura moved from third to second, a position where he is vastly superior. The team replaced the dismal Harris at short with an outstanding defender in Jason Bartlett. The arrival of excellent third baseman Evan Longoria at third solidified the infield, which already featured gifted glove man Carlos Pena at first.
Upton, meanwhile, relocated from the infield to center, where he combined with fellow flyer Carl Crawford to cover immense ground. The difference was undeniable.
"You go around their infield: Longoria, Bartlett, Pena, they're Gold Glove-caliber. They're good. Navarro is good. Their outfielders, the ball doesn't hit the turf very much," said Sox manager Terry Francona. "Their defense, they may be the best in baseball. They're athletic. They catch the ball. The ball usually ends up where it's supposed to."
This year, the Rays led the majors in defensive efficiency with a 71.0 percent rate of converting balls in play into outs. One executive suggested the Rays had one of the biggest single season defensive improvements in big-league history. Another, while acknowledging the challenges of measuring defense, said that the Rays might have improved by as many as 15 wins purely on the basis of improved work in the field.
While the Rays led baseball in defensive efficiency, the Sox finished fifth in the majors with a 69.9 percent conversion rate. A franchise that had been known in the recent past as a bunch of immobile mashers—Francona has admitted that in past seasons his team could be described as "plodding"—has transformed into a group that mixes athleticism with tremendous defensive instincts and positioning.
The outfield now features players with excellent instincts in Jason Bay and J.D. Drew in the corners. Center is occupied alternately by Coco Crisp and Jacoby Ellsbury, both of whom were rated by an American League coach as elite defenders.
Boston's infield, meanwhile, featured Gold Glove corners in Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis for much of the season, and middle infielders who always seem to be in perfect position to make plays in Jed Lowrie and Dustin Pedroia.
The Sox teams of 2003 and the first half of 2004 often had to bash their opponents into submission. But since then—particularly in the 2007 and 2008 seasons, when the Sox featured one of baseball's most efficient defenses—the team shifted to emphasize run prevention through improved defense. The result was a team that was capable of finding ways to win even when David Ortiz was out of the lineup with injury and after the trade of Manny Ramirez.
"Every team that wins the World Series plays great defense," said Sox infielder Alex Cora. "You can't give the other team more than 27 outs. If you give the other team more than 27 outs with the way (playoff) teams swing the bats, other teams are going to take advantage.
"In '04, I wasn't here, but when they pulled that trade (of shortstop Nomar Garciaparra) for (first baseman Doug) Mientkiewicz and (shortstop Orlando) Cabrera, that's what they were trying to do," said Cora. "They were trying to get better on defense. When you pitch and play defense, you've got a shot. Even defense in basketball, defense in football, they win championships."
The notion may seem exaggerated. Still, it is worth noting that the Sox made several decisions in the Division Series against the Angels—particularly related to the its infield corners—with defense as the top priority.
The team wanted to keep Mike Lowell in the lineup as much to man third base and keep Youkilis at first as it did because of his offensive potential. When Lowell could not play, the team opted for Mark Kotsay rather than Sean Casey in large part because Kotsay is the better defender. Such moves underscore how central the Sox now view their defense to their success.
"Pitching and defense, regardless of how much people say about our offense, it's pitching and defense," said Cora. "We got to a point in the season when we started turning more double plays, we started catching the ball better and we started playing better."
The Rays have followed a similar course all season. The result is an ALCS clash of two teams that have quietly followed very similar defensive blueprints to reach this point.

Very good restaurant in Bairro Gotic district. The staff was very helpfull and very friendly. The prices are reasonable, but if you go there try the mix of tapas!
We started a walking tour here and were recommended the flamenco evening followed by a tapas meal. We turned up and were told the show was an hour later. Did we want a drink? Amazingly they served cider, so we both had a pint, plus olives and patatas bravas. When we went to pay wewere told it was in with...

Nice little area but God forbid if you want to adjust the food in any way. I wanted something like a salad but without something in it. The waiter was like "Oh I will ask but it is not what is on the menu". They finally brought it and he was like "Do not come back and ask for any...

It was odd to hear almost 100% English being spoken here but the place was fun and had a great atmosphere
My boyfriend and I have been travelling for 3 months and this place takes the cake for the worst service so far.

STUDY: 91% of blogger avatars too flattering
NEW YORK, NY - In the most comprehensive study of its kind, an independent research panel has concluded that 91% of bloggers use avatars that are excessively more attractive than themselves.
"We thought the numbers might reach a solid majority, but we were shocked to learn it was 91%," said study chair Jeremy Neighbors. "The other nine percent is made up of really good looking people, really honest people, and people who already resemble cartoon characters."
Members of the blogging world have not said much about the study, confining their latest blogs to subjects like health care reform, their favorite new spots for cupcakes, and pictures of their kittens. Michelle Sullivan of "Michelle's Many Musings" did not comment directly about the study in her blog, but removed the usual tall and slender yet busty avatar usually found on her home page and replaced it with a picture of a kitten licking a cupcake.
"I always had a feeling Trish didn't look like that," said Chip Tamellin, a daily reader of the "Trish's Sweet Dishes" food blog, which features an avatar named 'Trish the Dish' who resembles Halle Berry. "I saw her in person and I thought it was Bea Arthur. What a huge disappointment. This makes me suspicious of things they see on the internet."
In contrast, the publicity team for actress Megan Fox cannot find an avatar that is good-looking enough for her. "We're afraid today's technology makes developing an avatar as attractive as Megan is very challenging." said Fox's publicist Jennifer Sweeney.

HSBC says 'No' to large cash withdrawals
Kelly Fetty
Kelly Fetty
Jan 29, 2014 in
Personal Finance
English branches of the multinational bank HSBC have refused to let customers withdraw large amounts of cash from their own accounts unless they present documents proving how it will be spent, British media reports.
Both the
report that HSBC customers have contacted them complaining that they have been denied access to their own money.
Stephen Cotton of Worcestershire was refused when he went to his local HSBC branch to withdraw £7,000 to repay a loan from his mother.
"When we presented them with the withdrawal slip they declined to give us the money because we couldn't provide them with a satisfactory explanation as to what the money was for," he told BBC's radio program
Money Box
"They wanted a letter from the person involved — which was ridiculous," he said.
Another HSBC customer identified only as "P.H.D" emailed MailOnline's
This is Money
column with a similar complaint.
"...HSBC will not let me take out anything over £1,000 cash over the counter. I gave them warning, but they say they must know what I will use it for — they want to see evidence of hotel bookings etc," P.H.D. wrote.
Other HSBC customers said bank officials demanded to see contractor's invoices or proof of hotel reservations before they would hand over any cash.
When Cotton wrote to HSBC to complain, he received the following response:
"Documentary evidence must be taken to validate all cash/credit transactions. If this cannot be provided, then the transaction will be declined. As this was not a change to the terms and conditions of your bank account, we had no need to pre-notify customers of the change."
HSBC officials told Money Box that the policy had been in place since November.
Customers Should Tell Banks to "Get Stuffed," says MP
Reporters with both Money Box and MailOnline contacted other banks to ask if they had similar policies. Santander, Barclays and the Nationwide Building Society admitted they give counter staff the right to request documentation if they suspect the withdrawal might be connected to fraud.
Conservative MP Douglas Carswell blamed the policy on "arbitrary" and "officious" rules. He encouraged customers to rebel.
"Saying 'Get stuffed!' can actually get you a long way," he told Money Box.
Money Laundering, 'Vishing' and Courier Scams
This is not the first time HSBC has attracted negative publicity.
A 335-page report issued by the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs in July 2012 accused the bank of money laundering. The report portrayed HSBC "as a facilitator of shady transactions involving launderers ranging from Mexican drug cartels to residents of Iran and other countries—some of which have terrorist ties—that are barred by law from U.S. trade,"
Daily Beast reporter Jesse Singal.
In December 2012 HSBC paid a $1.9 billion dollar fine to settle the allegations.
Did HSBC develop the new withdrawal policy in response to its previous money laundering troubles? Eric Leenders, executive director at the British Bankers' Association, says no.
"I don't think it's just about money laundering; I think it's also about fraud," Leenders told Money Box.
British banks lose £475 million to fraud each year, MailOnline reports. Recently there has been an especially sharp rise in fraud schemes such as "vishing" and courier scams.
In vishing scams an automated message tricks consumers into giving up their card numbers and bank account details. In
courier scams
, victims are told their bank accounts are no longer secure and are persuaded to give their money to a fraudster posing as a police officer or bank official.
Both scams put cash in the hands of criminals — cash that is difficult to trace.
HSBC officials have pointed out that customers can still withdraw unlimited amounts using electronic transfers, bank drafts or checks.
'There is a clear tension between, on the one hand, providing customers easy access to their money and, on the other hand, protecting customers from the threat of a fraud that could have a devastating effect on someone's finances,' Leender told This Is Money.
In response to the outcry, HSBC has changed the withdrawal policy and issued an apology to its customers, Money Box reported.
"However, following feedback, we are immediately updating guidance to our customer facing staff to reiterate that it is not mandatory for customers to provide documentary evidence for large cash withdrawals, and on its own, failure to show evidence is not a reason to refuse a withdrawal. We are writing to apologise to any customer who has been given incorrect information and inconvenienced."

The South Dakota Army National Guard is continuing to recruit new members even has its full-time soldiers are required to take furloughs because of federal budget cuts.
Recruiting and Retention Commander Lt. Col. Kory Knight says that budget cut talk has created a false impression among prospective recruits and the general public that the Guard doesn't need new members.
National Guard officials say they have about 60 positions to fill in the next month. And the 842nd Engineering Company in the northern Black Hills has many as 20 positions open for the part-time soldiers who typically train on weekends.

Little Women
Features:Price: $18-22.50
In May 1868, Louisa May Alcott wrote in her diary that her publisher wanted her to write "a girl's book," offering the lackluster response: "I said I'd try." Later that year, Little Women was published. 140 year later, the story of the March sisters remains a beloved classic. Circle Theatre Project presents a two-week run of the all-female staging, reviving the 1941 adaptation that made it a staple of American theater.
