It's been known about for years and years, it was covered extensively by Private Eye. I hope the wrongly accused postmasters are heavily compensated, I think a lifetime of earnings would be a good starting point.
The PO have set up a fund but they're trying to short change them as you can imagine though I think there have been some interim payments.
Not sure if the interim payments have only gone to ones who won he court case because there are other 600 plus people affected.
The postmaster affected want to be reimbursed for their own money they put into cover shortages as well as compensation which is only right.
I think there should be some board level prosecutions over this. It went way beyond a software glitch.
For example, they maintained to postmasters who had come up short that they were the only ones affected even though they knew there were 100s of others.
