People had been doing that since at least 2011 (there were some rumblings before, but no in-depth reporting by the likes of the BBC AFAIK). Still took close to 10 years to resolve the matter...

You can read a report at e.g. https://www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/special_reports/justi...

As well as Wikipedia of course https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal
