These record that Marten "was on first name terms with her bank manager" and had said that her trust fund had been stopped and she had no money she could access.

Many of those who handled the money were bank tellers, bank managers or shop workers.

Or "the onion is now more transparent than a bank manager's smile".

Martin later texted me to add that a bank manager in Idaho told him that “seniors have come out of retirement because of the rising costs of food, fuel and services.”

“It was originally a bank, and there are stories of people dying in it — the bank manager’s daughter was found dead in the vault, a big robbery that went wrong, things like that.”
