I suspect, Sluffy, that the administrators of BL & BWFC would have been only too pleased to nail Ken Anderson given half a chance and the Official Receiver seems unlikely to have been lenient or slow to act if there was anything of substance to go at.
KA was walking a financial tightrope and it would have been all too easy to slip up, even if inadvertently. The Official Receiver will have had the directors conduct report for about six months now, so far without any indication of any action.
Is that long enough to conclude that there's no case to answer? I'm not sure but when I saw him in action at the shareholders AGM, I came away with the sense of a confident guy who knew his stuff and was likely to take every precaution. Indeed I couldn't help but conclude that the AGM itself was a precaution.
Iles does know about the amounts Holdsworth had cost BWFC but neither he nor the ST are willing to acknowledge or report it at all. You also don't have to be the best forensic accountant in the world to spot the accumulation of cash in Holdsworth companies or how unlikely it was that Holdsworth spent the best part of a million quid on fees as Terrence Rigby told those who attended the last meeting of the ST and who, seemingly, were too dopey to question Rigby's assertion.
