RBS chief's talks with investors fail to produce settlement
Fred Goodwin could still be required to give evidence in a trial relating to the near-collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) amid a continuing stalemate between the lender and thousands of small shareholders. Sky News reported a meeting between Ross McEwan, RBS's chief executive, and directors of the RBoS Shareholder Action Group took place on Friday aimed at reaching a final settlement between the two sides. Insiders said that the talks, which took place at RBS's London offices, concluded without an agreement after Mr McEwan declined to increase a financial offer to the remaining claimants. Sources said on Wednesday that RBS has been in talks with the last claimant faction over whether the bank would raise its last 82 pence-per-share offer by 20 pence to avert a potentially embarrassing trial that will rake over an uncomfortable chapter in RBS's history. Judge Robert Hildyard last Wednesday adjourned court proceedings for the third time to June 7 in the case that turns on whether RBS and its former bosses misled shareholders about its financial strength when it launched the rights issue. Mr Goodwin, who was ousted as RBS's boss as it was being bailed out with £45bn of taxpayers' money in 2008, has never given a full public account of the crisis at the bank.

Not All Bankers Are Crooks
Another day, another banking scandal
Back in the day, bankers were honest, reliable, respected members of the community.
Those days have gone. Bankers seem to be viewed with much the same opprobrium as crooked politicians and snake-oil salesmen. This is not surprising, given the litany of banking scandals caused by bullying, lying, dishonest, philandering, drug-addicted, senior bankers and…
