Banking Disaster Blamed On Rebelling Goblin
Betty Braithwaite

Pureblood witches and wizards, many among the elite of wizarding society, are still feeling the financial ramification of this week’s confusion at Gringotts bank. After days of wondering, waiting, and calling for the perpetrator’s of this week’s vicious denial of their rightful possession of their own fortunes, witches and wizards can finally rest easy.

While Gringotts management was unwilling to release the name of the goblin responsible, sources inside the Ministry have confirmed that a goblin called Griphook, a senior manager at Gingotts, was to blame for the heinous act against.

Griphook himself has not been found for questioning in the matter, but a note has been released that is purported to have been written by the goblin. In this note, Griphook cites outrageous claims against the Ministry of Magic and against wizardkind in general, and calls on goblins, apparently, to rebel. One can only hope that no other goblins take up Griphook's insane plight.

As of this morning, Gringotts has reported that the ensuing confusion has been corrected, and that all witches and wizards should have access once more to their vaults.
