18: The 'Scapegoat' Banker
Tom Hayes says he'll never give up fighting to clear his name.
The former banker was sentenced to 11 years for fixing key interest rates. Tom claims he was a “scapegoat” - a target for the anger at bankers in the financial crisis.
He has now been granted permission to appeal against his criminal conviction at the UK’s top court.
Tom talks to Kylie about how he went from living a lavish lifestyle… to losing his marriage and now living in his parents’ flat.
Fighting the case has become his full-time job.
