Mike Young accused former Post Office boss Paula Vennells of trying to put the blame for the wrongful convictions of subpostmasters over missing money on the faulty Horizon IT system.
READ:The former Post Office IT chief has insisted he will give evidence over the subpostmaster scandal after the Horizon inquiry was told he could not be found.
Mr Young told The Mirror: 'Paula needs an out. She's using me and four others. Hey, she's got to do what she thinks is right for her.
Mr Young has reportedly been working for a research project funded by the taxpayer and run by the University of Exeter's business school. Ms Vennells - who insisted she 'worked as hard as I possibly could' - broke down in tears, after doing the same on the first day of her evidence.
