But can you be confident that there aren't more skeletons in the closet “But at the same time the scandals keep rolling out, mainly because of whistle blowers but of course you pursued Westpac like the ANZ over the bank bill swap rate rigging allegations. But can you be confident that there aren't more skeletons in the closet?” what's the meaning of "But can you be confident that there aren't more skeletons in the closet?" thank you

Hi Scarlett. To have skeletons in the cupboard is to be hiding something, often something that could cause problems if it becomes known to others. In the example you give, the writer is asking if there is anything else that could cause a scandal, that the banks don't want the public to know. I hope this helps.
