The Revolut UK banking chief executive also just quit 'for unrelated reasons' after texting a death threat to a customer: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/05/13/revolut-exec...

This is so hilariously bizarre. Why does a customer have a bank executive's personal number? Why was the account frozen? Who did the exec think he was texting? And who was he going to be waiting for armed?

I feel invested at this point, like I've watched a movie that just cut off in the middle...

Why did the executive have customer's phone number?

The article seemed to imply the customer had been texting complaints directly to the executive, not that the executive just cold texted a customer a weird threat.

It's hard to believe a normal person would death-threat some random contact instead of blocking.

True. But since he said that he’ll be waiting at his own home that probably means that the unhappy customer was threatening to visit him which is also a bit scary…

Can you please link the URL where that conversation is actually disclosed?

> He has taken up a new executive role at telecoms business Lycamobile.

Unbelievable. It’s impossible for people in this caste to fail.

[Incipient]

Haha it's absolutely hilarious. You can fail so utterly maliciously and just get your best mate at another company to hire you on 10x salary. Absolute. Gold.

In an unrelated matter, experts are baffled at the ongoing weakness in the banking sector.

If they were allowed to fail then they might not take the big risks that they deserve big rewards for taking! And then what would be left to trickle down to everyone else?

If something is fishy they can still catch him.
