Corporate responsibility (attn Mike Cross)
BCT went bust owing money. At that time, Pawl Shanley was the sole director. He therefore has the usual legal responsibilities of a director towards BCT's creditors. Mr Hewertson may be the nicest chap on earth, but his company merged with TIA, an entity that was formed from the defunct BCT and which appears to have existed on paper only. That is the extent — be it great or small — of his involvement. I do not believe Hewertson to be a thief, and I have not intentionally suggested that I do. What I do believe is that he has some knowledge of how (or whether) BCT's remaining assets were transferred to TIA.
The bank account of a company isn't full of discrete sums of money with people's names on them. When a company goes bust, the creditors must fight (usually in court) over what's left. In this case, though, the 'what's left' appears to have turned into TIA rather than being distributed to creditors. This is a problem legally as well as morally. The idea that Pawl Shanley went shopping with a specific person's money is nonsense and has not been floated here.
The fairies at the bottom of my garden deny involvement.
