yeh last estimate was around 1.5-2 million. he used to, as said convince richer group members to invest in portions of the business . he would offer free flying and partial ownership in aircraft to those who wished to invest . He also used to carry out the odd grey charter for local high flying business types , he would charge them a fortune for the charter and his big mucka , another gob****e from the area would do them for him , occasionally he would ask instructors to do it if the gob****e couldnt be arsed.
He had a select band of very wealthy friends whom he could call upon and borrow money from , he would then basically borrow peter to pay paul , this was his entire ethos . He would call on his staff to get potential students and group members to pay for a package up front giving him a lump sum , he would offer huge discounts for this to make it worthwhile . If he found out a group member had money he was relentless in cleaning their arse with his tongue until they gave him some money ,see recent episode of The Sheriffs are coming . Most instructors and staff myself included left as we were sick to death of his childish patronising attitude and refusal to pay .
This man is pure ****e on our shoes and deserves to rot in segregation or preferably in the general prison population.
