Fortunately, the victim has had his 40k refunded.

 
   Do you have a reference - with details - for that? I.e. who accepted
responsibility for which fault(s)?

 
Quote: «National Savings and Investments said it had refunded him the
money taken from his account.»
 
And that's the £40000, because earlier it reads (quote):
 
«Worse news was to come, when he learned his National Savings and
Investments password had been changed.
 
"After an hour of talking to different people there, they said, 'You've
actually taken out a very large amount of premium bonds, over £40,000',"
said Stephen.»

  Thanks for that! I apparently overlooked the first quote. I only saw
the £50 "goodwill gesture" from EDF, which was a clear insult and so was
the £125 "goodwill gesture" from O2 Virgin Media.
