Two men face jail after handling cash from Sussex scam (From The Argus)

Parapunter,

You're behind the times old chum.

Companies Act 2006 brought a dual listing into effect, whereby you may lodge your private address with Companies House for use by law enforcement etc., and a public address for publishing on their database.

Infact, even before 2006, if you were a director of a certain type of company, or had other roles in public office as well as your directorship, you could get your adddress masked.

Don't believe me ? Try seeing what your fancy Companies House database yields for the directors of Readers Digest. :E

(for the public record, I'm not associated with Readers Digest, I just happened to have the need to look them up for someone recently)
