Companies in administration, liquidation... gone bust!

I've no idea what the rules are in other countries but we have some real rule benders over here. I've lost a few thousand over the last 20 years to businesses going under but while I've cursed the loss, miraculously the owners still live in their big houses and drive their flash cars.

A friend once went into work on a Monday and was told along with the rest of the staff the business was no more. None of them were paid for the work they had done over the previous month. The 3 bastards that owned it set up another business within a month in their wives names.

I was just checking out a business on the web and found they had taken over a company that had gone into administration. I noticed one of the names of the defunct business was the same as a guy that had left me short of £3K. The purchasing company were delighted to be working with him and there was a picture of the fat f***er smiling. He's a serial business breaker that has left no end of people with debts. No doubt he still drives a porsche and wears bespoke suits (one of the reasons he couldn't pay creditors).

Hopefully some other victim that's not as placid as me will see this and go and knobble him.
That would make my day. :D:D:D

    i once read an amazing article about the collapse of the Irish economy .. Sunday Times i think it was... anyway, this journalist was giving examples of how bankers were basically at fault.

    They gave this 25 year TRUCK DRIVER almost €4million just to set up his own property business... he went bust within a year .... people who bought some of his properties are living in the estate where he couldn't afford to put in sewage pipes, phone lines, tar the road, etc...

    one example of many i'd bet
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I think 400 businesses in Ireland have closed in the last 6 months. This country isn't even near rock bottom yet. It's going to get much worse.

    I think there's going to be a ton of businesses going down this year in UK and Ireland. I've stopped looking at the Printweek email bulletin as it's so depressing. There just doesn't seem to be any protection against those that choose to let the businesses fail.
