    The BBC don't [insert swear word] understand crypto-currency and their investigative journos have all jumped ship.

    They settled in the Isle of Man, and worked together in the booming crypto-currency sector.

    After the prince's disastrous Newsnight interview in 2019, legal ownership of his Dragon's Den-style start-up competition, Pitch@Palace Global, was transferred to a Barrowman-linked firm, Knox House Trustees (UK).
    The man absolutely bloody useless, isn’t he?

    And continuing the spirit of the thread...

    Let's give a big round of applause for the Petitioners who are suing Edward Watson Gittings (of Montpelier fame) into bankruptcy. The 37 unpaid parking fines are a nice touch.

    Well he's got away with his shennagans in Spain it appears.. God knows how.
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...sion-scam.html

    And although they described the sum paid to Axis as 'disproportionate' given the factory purchase cost and described the operation as 'strange' and 'hardly compatible' with B3 Cable's interests, they said that did not necessarily imply any criminal wrongdoing.

    They added: 'The prosecution accusation was based specifically on the non-existence of services. The possibility of the criminal consideration of an excessive or disproportionate payment hasn't been touched on.'

    Of the alleged crime against the Spanish Treasury they said that although the tax relief claimed could be considered very high, it was 'acceptable.'

    They also ruled it hadn't been proved money paid to Axis had ended up in an offshore account as prosecutors alleged.
    So it appears all smoke and mirrors and skirting the line over which he'll get nailed which I can't help think will happen time and time again in his forthcoming cases. I've a feeling we will see him get away with a ton more stuff with this type of statement at the end.

    All very exciting this but I wish they'd get on with it. So much work to uncover all this has lead to so much evidence, so drop the hammer and lets get all the legal processes possible started. It's hard to imagine, however clever and slimy he is, he's got a hope of winning anything.

    Not 100% sure which thread was the best one to post this on so this one will do

    https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/03/04/..._shadow_fraud/

    Dan Neidle has evidence that MR Barrowman committed fraud by misrepresenting which company workers were working through paperwork to agency went from the UK company, but employer and (probably) money going direct to the Isle of Mann.

    Don't think The Guardian like her....

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-to-reputation

    Michelle Mone’s former lawyer is demanding that she apologise and make a donation to a charity for allegedly inflicting “severe and irreparable damage” to his reputation by suggesting he had advised her to tell lies.
