I just thought that the goblins ran their banking system much as the Swiss
do.  As long as he had the right key they didn't care what crimes he may or
may not have committed.  Getting to and from the bank may have been more
problematical.

Yes - I have, in my first year at University.  I know my brother did at
school too.  In both cases we succeeded.  I am not sure of the details of my
brother's confrontation except that it was more physical than mine.

I didn't think the list elves would like me to get too off-topic so I have
send the rest of my post on this topic to you personally.
