Sir Fred Goodwin Joins Twitter

by Patrick Altoft on / 9 responses

Sir Fred Goodwin, the ex RBS boss at the centre of a £693,000 pension storm, has apparently joined Twitter.

Amusingly his location is stated as “England (Bank of)” and his bio is “I have more money that you can shake a stick at!”.

Lord Lucan will be on Twitter next, followed by Shergar and Elvis.

It is very funny, but it does raise the interesting point of how lax Twitter is at people setting up accounts such as this. It can’t be long before Twitter squatting becomes a serious issue, with accounts such as http://www.twitter.com/coke already being squatted on. With no email verification upon sign up it’s probably too easy for accounts to be setup at the moment and I suspect the situation to change before long.

here’s instant therapy for all RBS shareholders – a Fred the Shred voodoo doll (check it out on ebay). If we can coordinate our pin actions he might just think about doing without that pension!
