After following the Firepower mess, and other scandals such as those detailed in Adam Schwab's book "Pigs at the Trough", I'm pretty convinced that under the current system the way to get away with theft or fraud is simply to make it large enough. Stealing a car means big trouble, but add a few orders of magnitude to the larceny and you can be sure to ride out the storm at your holiday home in Tuscany. I guess I should be too hard on these hardworking executives. After all, isn't forcing them to put the Swan River mansion into their wives' names really punishment enough? Fascinating.

I have also found the reporting on firepower extremely clear and never contradictory. not sure what he's on about. and, clearly, healy is the "first arrest", unless arty can name another? i think what the paper was pointing out was the irony that the first person arrested in the entire saga is someone who actually managed to rip off Johnston and not vice versa... arty may have lost interest but that doesnt mean everyone else has, gerard.

I noticed in the paper that the liquidator said over 2 mil of the stuff was sold. What is that about if the stuff was phony? Maybe some of it worked. I find the reporting really unclear and contradictory. I for one have lost interest in it and you won't see me trawling around for info.

I'm from Bindoon, where Max has made many people seriously unhappy over a number of incidents. The common term is a 'Max-attack'. Alan Bond's mate, and saviour? Enemy of Connell over the Hobby Horse scandal? A pigeon fancier? Google the Auslii database and check out Max's real estate record. It is very interesting. Nothing would surprise me.

Working hard with the investors money, how many times have we heard that line, more likely working hard spending your money on toys for himself his wife and daughters. Sadly history, always repeats its self, and no matter what his next venture is somebody will get burnt, and it wont be Tim. So he is back to being Mr Cocky again, Tim you are amazing.

It's hard to understand why nobody has the courage to use the word "conman", given the overwhelming evidence that they never had a product to begin with.
