Only tangentially related, perhaps, but…
Last night, I watched a docudrama on PBS called Mr. Bates vs The Post Office, not knowing what it was about, but it starred actor Toby Jones, who I have enjoyed prior.
It is about the “Post Office Horizon scandal”in the UK (1999-2015), which I’d not heard of. To my surprise, the company Fujitsu was mentioned several times, as the supplier of the Horizon system.
Many subpostmasters’ lives were destroyed; it was a very sad and infuriating situation.
I wondered, as a managing director with Fujitsu, if during his time with the company, Jean Francois Guerrier had to deal with this.
