<p>Just read that Dick Smiths was sold for 20 million and listed for 560 million. Firstly, who was stupid enough to buy that stock and secondly, isn't that borderline fraud?</p>

<p>Only fraud if the info disclosed was untrue or info that had to be disclosed legally was not. Not seeing any of that here</p> -

All may not yet be lost. -
I actually had a very close relationship with our bank RE. (1. She was hot, and 2. She was really good at her job. I discussed this stuff with her over wine and off record. <br><br>
Apparently it will take a bit for the bank to be the one to pull the pin. Normally they can make more many other ways than winding you up. -

<p>I'm not sure she really needed to ensure that bombshell was off the record... the fact she had wine with you on the other hand, yeah, that would be.</p> -
Yea alright smart ass i get it that read really badly. <br><br>
The point was made in relation to the fact people often blame the bank first. When in reality the last ones to pull the pin are the bank or the tax department. -

IRD is more aggressive about pulling the pin than banks, TBH - they take a more broad view, and will happily force liquidation and bankruptcy if they feel a director needs to stopped from operating. -

That's good news for your brother. It's a shame they tend to sell shitty gear because it would be worth buying something if they stood behind it.<br>
Anyone heard who might be buying it? -
And the receivers have called it quits.<br><br>
