Guest Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Or simply install someone in the club in a bogus position to oversee questionable cash going in, pay the government 20% of it as VAT, and hey presto, for that meagre 20% government handling fee, questionable cash becomes legit. It’s a story old as time, beauty and the beast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBairn Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Russian billionaires buy properties in London via Caribbean shell companies to hide their money, then sell a few years later at a profit to launder the money. If I was a cynical man I'd suggest that the same was attempted in Scotland with a certain club, but the guy forgot he needed money to run the club in the meantime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Raith Rovers were mixed up in it a decade or so ago, but it was so blindingly obvious, it unravelled pretty quickly.I am sure anyone attempting the same sort of thing now would be a wee bit smarter about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres more than one way to make money out of a business and its not always conventional "success". Which is a good job being that Sevco are fucking shite. Whyte and Green weren't investors. Both new how to take the loyal for a ride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Seen as my point is getting massively missed here I will re-word it. I bet a lot of people put money into Livi, Dundee, Sevco and Rangers and lost the lot or most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Absolutely right. You just have to look through the key non playing employees of football clubs, and I would think the chances of finding anyone with a criminal past would be pretty remote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Absolutely right. You just have to look through the key non playing employees of football clubs, and I would think the chances of finding anyone with a criminal past would be pretty remote. It depends whether you mean convicted criminal of course. You may want to look closely into the past of a certain very wealthy owner of a London based EPL club to see that’s it still happening at the highest level. Blind eye gets constantly turned. Can’t think why...And I doubt the SFA are any more thorough than the English FA.Actually, make that more than one London based EPL club... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendtnerBairn Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Money goes in, club loses money, owner claims money back as a business loss, club gives him shares in return for investment. Owner then sells shares, makes profit, then makes more money when he gets his losses deferred against next years tax bill.

You don't have to have a criminal record to be a criminal though. Kinda falls apart when you start looking at Dave King. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't, there would be a noticeable lack of people throwing money at clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 61 days to the start of the new season, the same time a group of women took to walk across the Antarctic.
