ref PO thread, from working on it all, it was a mix of (i) system errors & bugs, so the money had always balanced but Horizon said no, (ii) some poor sods that assumed they'd got their numbers wrong so topped the figures up with their own money, and then couldn't explain the discrepancies caused by doing 'that', and (iii) some outright bent post masters/mistresses on the take.

Because some of them were actually bent as f**k, the default assumption was that *everyone* was bent. After all, "Why on earth would you put your own money into the till if it wasn't your fault that the figures were wrong? If Horizon was wrong, why wouldn't you just report it?" some bent ones tried the Horizon argument and were still proven to be bent through other evidence, so POL doubled down on the view that the Horizon issues were a red herring.

Group think, basically.
