What I can’t get my head around is, when there were around 2500 post masters/mistresses losing money with Horizon, someone should have realised the system was wrong or did they think,that all of these people,all of a sudden decided to become criminals and start stealing money, when they’d been perfectly honest up until that time.

If you read the whole synopsis above, it states that they knew about it, but decided to sack the people who knew about it and cover it up.

There are always going to be some branches where the owners or their staff were stealing, that happened long before Horizon and will happen forever. They should have data on what percentage of people that usually is and spot a big increase.

There will no doubt also be people now claiming they were affected and looking for compensation, that's the way of the World.
