Sea Bear 283 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hit the site up, but if you can't, great news if this is in fact the case.RTC knocked back or locked up?By Shane Nicholson | CRO Executive EditorLate last night (or early morning if you're 95% of our readers) there was an interesting message waiting for me when I returned to my desk from the kitchen, one that summed up a great many lessons we've learned about the Skiddish media in the fallout of the FTTT and the collapse of their primary source, the discredited Rangers Tax Case blog. Most importantly, it was one from a trusted source.I'll lay out the facts in the simplest terms possible, so as to avoid muddling what was relayed our way:The 37-year-old reported as having been arrested on 22 November was the Rangers Tax Case blogger. (Thanksgiving in the States. Surely a coincidence.)The media danced around this by portraying it as an arrest connected to the disgraced site, and pairing it with the story that David Murray was going to hunt down the leaks. They were willing to report this man's every anonymous word but not his name upon his being taken in by Strathclyde's finest. Yes, they know, and they're not reporting it.Oh, and there's the little bit about how he works for either HMRC or the Tribunal Service.Hopefully that narrows down the shortlist for some of you. Might go a ways to explaining why that wee site was wiped clean within hours and the Twitter fell suddenly silent.Still haven't signed that petition? You may be running out of time.Hell, we may not even need it after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 What action did the Police take? Has this Blogger been charged, released, let off, etc? Why aren't the media reporting this if true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleyroad 894 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Can't be true as it was not front page of the Daily Rhecord . . . . . Oh waitHopefully your source correct as that lot have been insinuating it was an irate Bear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 338 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Say what I said on twitter: Many of you would know my source and consider him trustworthy. I just reported what was handed to us and nothing more. The rest of the details hopefully persons with better shovels can get into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was then told by someone who knows him, it was a Rangers fan!That is the reason the warnings are now all over the site, before you post etc! I would it to be the RTC blogger but the arrest I know of at that time was that of a Rangers fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre 1,663 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 22 November, my birthday. Best gift ever. Same here.As for the identity, is there any clue in the dates? Did the rtc blog and its information pretty date the case being passed to the tribunals service for example? It's still widely thought that there are quite a few rtc bloggers so could be one from each tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
