calscot 0 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) PM did an extensive research into Whyte's business background & as horrified what he found out.I don't believe for a second his ban wasn't known about. He may have found unsavourary stuff - but I was under the impression that the ban was very hard to find due to something similar to the statute of limitations, as it's relevancy period had expired. Seems to me that to even think to look for it you probably had to have some previous knowledge of it... Edit: See FS post 38...

ian1964 10,455 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Six men have appeared in court in connection with the alleged fraudulent acquisition of Rangers assets. The club's former owner Craig Whyte and former chief executive Charles Green attended a preliminary hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh. Former club secretary Gary Withey, and David Grier, David Whitehouse and Paul Clark, who worked for administrators Duff and Phelps, also appeared. The 15 charges in the case cover fraud, conspiracy and serious organised crime. Mr Whyte bought Rangers from Sir David Murray in 2011 for a nominal sum of £1 but the club went into administration the following year. A consortium led by Charles Green later bought Rangers' assets after a deal could not be agreed with creditors to exit administration. Mr Whitehouse, Mr Clark and Mr Grier were employees of MCR Partners, prior to its acquisition by Duff and Phelps, in October 2011. Duff and Phelps acted as Rangers administrators from 14 February 2012. Mr Withey worked for Mr Whyte's London law firm, Collyer Bristow, before he took on a post with Rangers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35235611 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,455 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Prosecutors have brought seven further charges against six men accused of the alleged fraudulent acquisition of Rangers Football Club. The fresh charges include allegations that former owner Craig Whyte and David Grier, obtained £475,000 by fraud from the club during Whyte's time in power at Ibrox. Whyte, 44, and ex-chief executive Charles Green, 62, were among those who attended the High Court in Edinburgh on Tuesday. Gary Withey, 51, David Grier, 54, David Whitehouse, 50, and Paul Clark, 51, also appeared for the preliminary hearing. It is claimed that Whyte, along with his associate David Grier, fraudulently obtained £475,000 while Whyte was the owner of Rangers, and made a further attempt to fraudulently gain another £253,000. It also alleged the two men, together with administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, and another man Gary Withey, were knowingly parties to "making the administration of the club inevitable" through failure to pay debts, and also used £6m in money from a firm called a Ticketus to ensure Duff and Phelps became administrators in order to facilitate the sale back of a debt-free Rangers to Whyte. The man who was the chief executive of the Rangers newco, Charles Green, also stands accused of obtaining £5.5m by fraud to buy the assets of the company in 2012, and subsequently raise £21m through a share offering, also by fraud. A further pre-trial hearing will call again on January 21, and here in Edinburgh on February 1. http://news.stv.tv/west-central/1338047-rangers-fraud-case-charges-increased-from-eight-to-15-by-prosecutors/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
