I doubt this will be trumpeted by CM Cannan, Allinson and Tim at the IOMG Conference. I would say that this would be buried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot more to come out of this story, for example, how much taxpayers cash given, and other IOMG involvement, of which on a project like the Victoria Road Campus ‘investment’ and size, I’d be surprised if there was none.

Omobono Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 1 hour ago, 2112 said: Bad news for those who may be owed money. Bad news for lawful companies and individuals who will now have to jump through more hoops in new legislation which no doubt will be introduced. The BBC article mentions that the Victoria Road site was cleared of trees - considering IOMG loves the environment and dick waves its green credentials so much. CM Cannan, COMIN and IOMG has well and truly been scammed. That carpet will be bigger than Snaefell soon. this island is full of financial crime regulators almost 80 staff employed by the FSC plus the gaming commission and the police ,hearing the story on Radio 4 this morning it seems to be the Chinese authorities were the ones who sussed it out ,and the usual throw away line from the BBC we have asked someone from the isle of man government for a comment , well I think you will have to wait , makes you wonder whet else illegal is going on here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not caught by IOMG and its authorities though. It’s obvious that the BBC investigative journalists have investigating for a while, before passing on their findings to the NCA, by which stage, our agencies were told to jump and IOMG said how high. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is on the front page of BBC news and likely will be all over BBC radio and tv news today. So good luck to Cannan from Kirk Michael stopping that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking (desperately) at the positives. Indeed it does at least show the controls work if they only managed to do it for a year and yes we needed a sacrifice for Moneyval. So much for the population targets and the 500 or so immigrants from China and the Philippines. I'd assumed that the Philippinos would be mostly in the Healthcare sector! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be swept under the rug ……… remember IOMG, CoMin, MHKs won’t take responsibility. Civil Servants involvement definitely and again no doubt a lot of buck passing. Brown paper envelopes, and backhanders? I leave that for others to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there will be a couple more sacrificial lambs yet...such an investigation surely has to go into the CSPs that checked all this out?

Beneficial Ownership ……………….. that’s a joke, but a bureaucratic nonsense to be completed by island companies ……….. who no doubt will be punished further, so the island will be squeaky clean.
