Ticketus own the rights to sell the ST and all money made in that prospect will go to them. The deal made (as in every business deal) is a gamble, and because of this, ticketus wont be happy with the amount of exposure this deal has received but there is little they can do about it. The 24 million will be somewhere. I refuse to believe that anyone would be stupid enough to try and 'do a runner' with so much money in light of the financial trouble that the business they own is in. The money is more than likely in a separate account of one of whytes other businesses so that it cant be touched by hmrc. Its either that or it was used to pay off Lloyds when he took over and being a optimist I'm believing the former. But all the info will be released next week anyway so we will find out soon enough where the money went.
