Thought for the day

Saturday 26th January, 2008

If you ever get into trouble with the law, I think I may have found the solution.  The BBC website has just published a few famous cases of financial fraud after what happened in France, and I strongly suggest you read the defence used by Peter Young – which is absolutely sensational and may well get you out of a tight spot.

    Peter Young went rather further than that.

    Very juicy gossip indeed but unfortunately a lot of people’s money disappeared needlessly. It’s a wonder we don’t all keep it in a sock but the sad part is it hardly causes a ripple any more.
