Ian Fraser, author of the bestselling book Shredded, stops by this week to discuss the events that led to the collapse of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Listen along as we dive deep into the scandal, from the changes instituted in the 80s by Matheson, to the ill-fated acquisition of ABN, the Government bailout and the aftermath... You'll never look at banks the same way after this episode.
