Britain’s Fraud Agency Admits to Loss of Data and Audio Tapes

The Serious Fraud Office has admitted accidentally sending a huge cache of confidential documents from an investigation into Britain's biggest arms firm, BAE, to the wrong person.
It did not realise for up to a year that it had misplaced the material which comprised 32,000 pages of documents, 81 audio tapes and computer files.

The material had originally been given to the SFO by 59 sources that helped the agency during one of its most high-profile investigations.

The SFO is not identifying at the moment the individual who inadvertently received the documents, nor did it spell out what they contained. (more)


If someone dumped 32,000 pages of documents, 81 audio tapes and computer files on you - "by accident" - wouldn't you immediately call the sender and say, "What do I look like, a freakin' warehouse?!?!"

Time to call in the Monty Python Very Very Serious Fraud Office to investigate.
