Follow the money. £500k teaser

1406

I’ve been sent a brain teaser.  What legal reasons would someone have to discretely pay another individual £500k?  The people are not currently in business together, although the recipient previously worked for the sender.  No goods have been provided.

It’s a puzzle.

Looking for legal reasons only, no crazy illegal notions or wild speculation about real persons, this is purely a theoretical exercise.

Apparently I’m being sent a moral dilemma tomorrow: Will the recipient, with off-shore accounts but living in interesting times, declare the £500k?

    petec, St Stivs

     

     

    You are right. Love conquers all.

     

     

    There are some things I hate. But there are more things that I love, and these things and people, and my love for them, makes me a better man than I could have ever wanted to me. Celtic is one of these things that I love.

     

     

    ————————————————————————————–

     

     

    and that is it in a nutshell.

     

    better to be an icecream and jelly fundamentalist good guy looking for positive reinforcements in life, and i witness it every day on CQN and the community that it brings

     

     

    than the hate filled kit man at ibrox who couldnt clap for the JJ man.

     

     

    our day will come means more than just that.

     

     

    its a day or reckoning for the hate(leys) around us.

    yeah, jelly and ice-cream fundamentalist, I like that. We put the mental into fundamentalist. That ICT game looked like so much fun, I laughed like a drain watching that expression of what was really a childish pleasure, a silliness. Gloating? Yes. Malicious? A little bit. Triumphal? No.

     

     

    Under what circumstances could you imagine the hun support doing a conga and singing about pass the parcel?

     

     

    Rhetorical question of course, the actual answers are too unpleasant to articulate.

    The Vmhan is missing the auld Cqn where we mostlly talk about the Celts…

     

     

    Oh he plays left mid,

     

    And he plays left back,

     

    He’s a centre half,

     

    And he does not slack,

     

    He’s our prodigal son and he hates the Huns,

     

    He’s Charlie mulgrew,

     

    He’s Charlie mulgrew,

     

    Ooohhhhh, Ooohhhh.

  10. Warning!, Long passionate post incoming,

     

     

     

     

     

    Lately Ive been waiting on hearing the dulcet tones of my wife screeching *GET UP!! its 7 o’clock!!! then I realise this isnt a dream. I dont know how many of you feel like that. For the last ten days this has all felt like a wonderous, marvelous, beautiful dream. But it’s real! and I can’t quite believe it. I still can’t.

     

     

    Normally I can string more than one sentence together. Not lately though. For the last ten days I’ve been like a giggling child who has found the preverbial jelly in the fridge and snuck a spoonful of gorgeous green lime joy. Waiting to be caught in the act by a furious mother and recieve the wake up call of a slap around the lug.

     

     

    It has taken 10 days for me to get to this point. The point were I can actually narrate my feelings properly. I am alive to witness the demise of an instituiton, an element within our society who have commited crimes of bigotry, intolerance, violence and murder against our family.

     

     

    I never thought this day would ever come and here’s why.

     

     

    As a 7 year old boy I was ‘lifted’ into my first game at Parkhead by my dad and uncle. It was April 20th 1977, I held my dad’s hand in fear and excitement as he took me further and further down between a sea of bodies and noise until suddenly the most majestic thing I had ever witnessed, forever changed my life. An expanse of green, shining like a jewel, glittering in the brilliant floodlghts took my breath away. A wall of noise erupted, so loud it shook me to the bone. The Celtic Song had started and what seemed like a million people bombarded my eardrums with raw emotion. We beat aberdeen 4-1 that night. It was the perfect introduction to my extended family.

     

     

    As weeks and years went by and the older I got the more I was understanding. I would hear my dad and uncles talk about ‘them’ and wonder what they were talking about. For a while I thought they were spies. As a young boy it was natural to think like that but one day I asked my dad ‘whats a hun dad?’ I was around 9 at this point and probably asking the exact same question every Celtic fan of my age was aking their dad’s.

     

     

    In hindsight I have to admire my dad’s fake revulsion at the question. He knew it would be coming, he just didnt know exactly when.. He admitted as much one night when we were reminiscing. ‘Who told you that word?’ A boy at school called me it, what does it mean? Without hesitation, he picked up a newspaper and pointed at a picture and held his finger to his lip to warn me to stay quiet. It was a picture of Gordon Smith who was just about to join ‘them’. ‘Thats a hun’ he whispered.

     

     

    From that day on my innocence of ‘them’ was gone. Any chance I had I read the football pages with my dad. I was football daft and just couldnt get enough. Everything changed though in the mid 1980’s.

     

     

    All through my teens and into my early twenties I used to think I had cursed us. It was the era of souness, butcher and murray. It was also the era when to be a Celtic fan was mocked. It was mocked everywhere. At work, on tv, in the papers, everywhere. Bigotry was rife, secterianism was something we didnt have a problem with according to authorities. It became all to apparant what was going on. We had our elements of defiant singing at games but nothing in comparison to innocent boys being murdered in the street because of the team they support. I sat and watched the politicians do nothing. I wished for ‘them’ to disappear.

     

     

    That innocent boy who entered Paradise as a wonderstruck 7yr old had finally realised who he supported. In the institutions eyes I had chosen the wrong team and there wasnt a damn thing I or any Celtic fan could do about it. For years I was told to go home because of who I supported, even though I was born in this country, raised in this country and regard myself as Scottish as a haggis. I wanted them to die. I wanted every one of their supporters to know hurt. To feel it, to experience the years of suffering they had put me through.

     

     

    But bigotry, secterianism, violence and murder wasnt enough for them. They wanted my family dead. they wanted everything I love dead. Their media prostitutes spun their party line and sang and danced when the thing I loved most outwith my direct family was about to die. There were no words of sympathy or support, no pleas for help, just words of hate and derision.

     

     

    But the fightback began in the most unexpected of ways. A little man I had never heard of, with a squit, glasses and a bunnet. I watched him on the news and the years of hurt began to evaporate day by day. He was me, he was you, he was every single one of us. He could do what I so badly wanted to do and he did!.

     

     

    And now, how the tables have turned!

     

     

    Which brings me back to, is this a dream? I have waited 25 years to see these last 10 days happen. For others it is longer, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years. I can only imagine the elation you all feel. I have sat, engrossed, witnessing the extinction of 25 years of abuse, mental torture, hate and bigotry before my eyes. I have watched ‘them’ plead to be saved by the instution that has protected them for so long. I bear witness to their hurt, their pain and I hope it hurts!

     

     

    You have hurt and abused me for too long for me to have any sympathy for how you feel. My wish is that your team is liquidated. For the thing you love to be no more. For the titles you cheated every other team out of to be stripped from your history because that is what you deserve for your treatment of not only my club and family but also this nation.

     

     

    I just wish my dad was here to witness it

    Molloy: ‘We haven’t received Gers

     

    cash’

    Tandridge Mirror

    BANSTEAD Athletic chairman and owner

     

    Terry Molloy has denied reports his club

     

    have received £250,000 from

     

    financially troubled Scottish giants

     

    Rangers.

     

    Scottish newspaper the Daily Record

     

    claimed earlier this week that a

     

    payment of £250,000 had been made

     

    from a Rangers account last August to

     

    a bank account in the name of

     

    “Regenesis-Banstead Athletic FC”.

     

    • •

     

    Aiden Earley, said to be a business

     

    associate of Rangers owner Craig

     

    Whyte, and his brother Wulstan are

     

    involved with a number of companies

     

    operating under the Regenesis name.

     

    Banstead’s Molloy confirmed to the

     

    Surrey Mirror two weeks ago that he

     

    and Earley were “having a discussion”

     

    about the possibility of becoming joint-

     

    owners of Athletic.

     

    However despite the payment allegedly

     

    having been made six months ago,

     

    Molloy insists the club have seen none

     

    of the cash.

     

    “I know nothing about it,” Molloy said of

     

    the £250,000 transfer. “It certainly

     

    hasn’t come into our bank account.

     

    “I can see why people would question

     

    it, but they are putting two and two

     

    together and coming up with the wrong

     

    answer.

     

    “I haven’t seen any money and that is

     

    the end of it.”

     

    As well as talks to become joint-owners

     

    of Banstead, Molloy has previously

     

    confirmed “it is not a secret that Aiden

     

    [Earley] is involved with Rangers”, but

     

    has admitted he hasn’t asked the 44-

     

    year-old, who was made bankrupt at

     

    22, where his money comes from.

     

    “Aiden Earley has an interest in

     

    Banstead, where any money comes

     

    from I don’t know, you would have to

     

    ask him,” Molloy said. “We are going

     

    ahead with our plans for artificial five-a-

     

    side pitches but I don’t want to talk

     

    about where that money comes from, a

     

    private investor. We are just waiting on

     

    the council to go ahead with that but

     

    this talk isn’t making things any easier.

     

    “None of our money comes from

     

    Rangers I can tell you that.”

     

    Scottish Premier League club Rangers

     

    were placed in administration by owner

     

    Whyte last week, and their accounts

     

    are being studied by Her Majesty’s

     

    Revenue & Customs, and Strathclyde

     

    Police as well as the appointed

     

    administrators, which has seen reports

     

    of the £250,000 transfer come to light.

     

    The money reportedly sent to the

     

    “Regenesis-Banstead Athletic FC”

     

    account was said to have been

     

    transferred from an account which held

     

    a sum of £24.4 million paid to Rangers

     

    by London firm Ticketus for the rights

     

    to future season ticket sales. Last week,

     

    the administrators revealed they did

     

    not have “visibility” of £24 million.

     

    The news the financial-troubled

     

    Scottish giants are said to have made a

     

    payment to the “Regenesis-Banstead

     

    Athletic FC” has angered many Rangers

     

    fans, with supporters taking to

     

    message boards to express their

     

    confusion at where the money has

     

    gone.

     

    Aiden Earley did not respond calls from

     

    the Surrey Mirror.

    Have you read it?

     

     

    I have said since I have been on this site, the day America falls is the day the World is enslaved.

    Nothing to do with the huns, but I was thinking about death and punishment and this song came to mind. I posted ‘The Man Comes Around’ by Johnny C a few weeks back and it’s been linked a few times since; great and appropriate as it is, here’s something completely different.

     

     

    If the Femmes don’t do it for you, try the Queens.

     

     

    Where’s your money gone?

  22. Andrew Ellis feels he was “duped” by Whyte. McCoist “shocked to hear of debt relevations. HOHOHO, HAHAHA, I feel like I’m doing an impression of Santa with all my belly laughing these days. These fools just have no shame at all do they? Ellis, robbing the people of South Africa of tax money, while McCoist assisting the cardigan in buyings players with money they didn’t have. Never mind the Oscars on Sunday, give these two clowns a prize for their slapstick.
