Fred Goodwin
Sir Fred Goodwin is a former banker who served as the chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) during its dramatic rise and subsequent collapse during the financial crisis. Once celebrated for his leadership skills, he became a symbol of banking excess and mismanagement, facing public outrage for the bank's reckless strategies that led to a massive taxpayer bailout in 2008. He was later stripped of his knighthood due to the financial fallout.
