Trevor Baines, who'd have thought it, one time member of the Sangster set. According to MR, his passport has been taken, Africa House is now security for his bail and he must report to police HQ every day. Heavy shit, but innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Hmmm people generally do not have stupid amounts of money by living within the law - there are many who will never get caught and those that do can afford the legal circus. I heard once that they made all their money selling bikes to the Africans (hence the name of the house) who cares?

Aren't we shortly due a visit by the IMF or OECD or some similar financial regulatory body ?

 

Then there was a seminar on money laundering today in Douglas

 

Trevs gets nicked for handling money which had originally been invested in a yank dotcom company

 

All at the same time.....

 

Burning martyrs anyone ?

Okay, get your point, but the usual concern is becoming an unwitting accomplice to money laundering, hence the AML talk (which is to consider the new AML regs).

 

Interesting if the source is the dot.com boom (very quickly followed by the dot.com collapse). Also interesting if the currency is USD as word has it that the US will pursue anyone money laundering in USD, no matter where the actual offence took place as all USD has to pass through US banks and so the offence can be deemed to have occured in the US.

 

Not arguing for or against, just very interested in this one from a number of perspectives.
