8:33 pm
clean there you will be it was just our family home. tiny, tiny village that held out like it was just everything i can remember sitting in the house and saying, hey, i've done this to my family. they gave me my code. they gave me my credit cuz they said they would do the deal. i wanted my youngest daughter to go to theater school . all that went out the window. i got a cup of coffee,
8:34 pm
the cost of $1100000.00. the whole attitude changed from being friendly to a person in the corner, given them no options and see the boy that brings it and not that is my feelings in the clays deal by knows we have contaminated was good each and also by the expense of the business it's not just businessman, it's not, it's not like guys let me in ships and shops and ties. it's people who to have, as
8:35 pm
a businessman, have worked really, really hard to build these businesses. some of them are 2nd support generation family businesses. sorts it's, it's integral to their whole life. so the owners, the business, it basically lose the family, they lose their life. corex employed 3 and a half those employees. it provided software services and hardware to restaurants, so tail chains around the world. it was a viable, vibrant british technology company in my 1st 100 days, is the ceo doing the sort of traditional 100 day review. i find some historical accounting or errors that i thought was suspicious. so i see your, you have a duty of care to tell the banks that have been lending the business money are of any concerns you have. so i went to our
8:36 pm
b. s. who were the lead to bank of 5 banks that lent money to trex over the years, or they were the agent effectively and i met with them. i explained that that as a, as a non accountant, i was just concerned with historical records. and all i want, what i wanted to do the right and proper thing to do was to bring in some specialist forensic accountants to audit and review are the past few years the codes. so i informed the bank, i told them what i was then going to do about it. they agreed to that. and i, within 24 hours of that i b. s. had suddenly brought in these restructuring specialists who business didn't need restructure to refinance. or we anything there was a historical problem. ah, but within that 24 hour period, another 24 hours passed. and then i find that the business is basically being lever up into pushed into this thing called g l g,
8:37 pm
the global restructuring group. and when i created this repeatedly, i was repeatedly told or so restructuring unit is like an intensive care unit where we're here to help. we will support the business. we will continue to support management of the business and told us this potential issue is reviewed. and that was just a complete lie. ah, georgi is function was not to restructure or to support to help the management and employees of all of our business as i, as i later find me, the
8:38 pm
clever restructuring group as part of bob. yes, it basically came into being in a, by october 2008. just off today at the bay. lights were 1st amazed, and it was a re re spray of an existing organization within our b s cord, specialized lending services. but essentially became a vast depository for tens of thousands of business customers of yes, many of which had done absolutely nothing wrong. and many of which were credit worthy, profitable, and viable companies which were pushing that through machiavellian means. so companies were told, this was a part of the bang which was going to help nurture them back to health. it was like an accident and emergency ward of the hospital. they were informed that it was on that side. it was that to help to get them out of their problems. and then they
8:39 pm
could be put back into the normal banking relationship with their existing relation managers. but in reality it was absolutely nothing of the sort. g g was essentially more like an avatar or a slaughter house. was that to cover up the these businesses to enable us to extract the maximum value possible from these po businesses that ended up in that part of our b s. mm oh, my relationship with the bank of scotland went back to the 1900 seventy's. when i started to become successful with the b, b, c. and i think the way that these things normally come about is your accountant says all of this, a really good bank manager and the bank manager recommends
8:40 pm
a good service to you and that sort of thing. and i had a great relationship with the bank of scotland that was built on trust. and you trusted the bank manager because he was the person who signed your possible application. he was the pillar of the local community. i never assumed that my popularity would continue. i never assumed bbc would keep offering the shows. so when in the mid eighties i got the opportunity to earn some money. at one of my 1st labs which was flying helicopters, i then set up a helicopter company helicopter management. and that was the beginning of unique asian we moved into providing brokerage management of aircraft, including private jets, things wasn't making a fortune, but it made money. in fact, in the 80s i was probably earning a pound doing corporate work for every pound i made with the b c. and this was the
8:41 pm
beginning of unique group. at the time, i just thought as we became more pressure from the bank that we were doing something wrong. in the end, i thought it was my c o, who had been a friend of mine for 15 years. godfather, one of my daughters i, i thought it was his incompetence. i couldn't believe that we were having problems with the bank because we were not reaching covenants. we were operating always within the a great facility. but of course now i realize we were groomed. got you these people have got you. mm. i think broadly
8:42 pm
the what does a company that was a totally viable company that would offer them alone. the company would go on, it would pay back the money. it was, everything is interest. and then the bank would suddenly cold in the light, in a very, very short notice, and not even allow some of the companies to pay back the money which they had. they would then immediately put that in value into a company value, the company as a fraction of what it was really worth. they put in their, in insolvency practitioners. they would send the sell the company off a fall this and it was work. and then gave for the personal guarantees of the owners of the company with
8:43 pm
it's been decade since the fall of spain's fascist regime. but old wound still haven't hailed your auntie from going into them, but only shorten us. because on the coming out to you, michael feed him up gay people to miss a powell said cutting me and the percent thus as me neighborhood anderson, i think ultimately now thousands of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption that on a late bought about i used to yell fiesta that my old robles affiliate amendment. to this day mothers still search for grown children, while adults look in hope for their birth parents.
8:44 pm
with 6 of the 62016, my children were home alone. and sudden they, they had to shouting at the door, they didn't go to the door and suddenly got more, more aggressive, banging at the door, saying that they were bailiff. so my daughters were up for the petrified job. you would imagine the one of the 2 men posing his pilots. cro bought the door off on just burst into the house. they then said that the
8:45 pm
children have to leave the house. they mantle, told them through them into the street. we rice back to the children when we got back there, they weren't very, very bad state. as you can imagine, crying some bones, it was just horrendous. and then there was just one man there who was the man who had croak out the door. we have video footage of him and we actually have photos of him. and i found out from the children that he was also wearing, i like waistcoat with pockets which he filled with loot. so we were calling 999 over and over and over again. we called the court, the court said this warrant on the house and anyway, i would never ever do anything they, we won't be allowed to do anything. so we then start to realize that there's some very, very old government, you know, we show you days, you days,
8:46 pm
this man then said that he wouldn't let us back in our own house. i explained, i have to say, and i need to get back into my home. i need to go to the toilet. he refused point blank. to allow me into my own home. i sat record, everything have been told. this is completely fine. the lay when the place time, i'm not show the place the pipe. what and the police say, this is an illegal eviction needs to be allowed back into your property. when we got back into the property, we saw that they had smashed the windows of our homes. they had found the lights, the higher the me and the children difficult for that. because that was the day that they took out life.
8:47 pm
i guess like many things in life that are truly life changing life defining unless you've experienced that you don't fully understand it. so observe is around the outside kind of thing. we'll see sort of a couple of friends or g, she really try to kill yourself. so all about, you know, life snippet that bad, but they weren't in the quick sense. they were standing on the rocks around the
8:48 pm
pool. i am always surprised, a number of business people immediately tell me about attempted suicide, nervous breakdowns. i'm. it's for scott flint where it's just kind of expected very common that people's marriages have broken up. they've lost their family home. it is spectacular. the devastating for people's lives. mm. type of fraud in this country, according to bolts with university, is around about a $193000000000.00 a year. just staggering. this isn't just the backs that have been being involved in this is the concept. see, firms, it is the lawyers, and also is the insolvency practitioners and the value of land who have quite cleared and came out from the house of commons, the base of undervalued the assets,
8:49 pm
accompanied by 50 percent. and very often this becomes very care because when they've been taken over, they then sell the assets replaceable the value demand. me my name is jim the go to exit alias from santana's till black and $970.00 twos and tons. it was basically a hi fi has over 10 years or so. i built 15 beds and dana himself of 80 in the boston, had of seething through 120 run up to 2005, but decided those by my sell by date, i don't want to do this. i sold it for one and a half 1000000 to the money and gave it to the claim still buying to invest for me
8:50 pm
when i 1st approach clay's deal buying, they were very helpful. i was all for the available and so i was then sold a t v l a tale of this national and which said it had flexibility and, and we give you any movement you wanted you to change if you wanted there seems to be that that all that the sold, it had no contingency and it was what it was, is what you got if you wanted to, to pay the $1.00 you had a big cause. if you want to devote more money, he had a break cause there was nothing you could do. it was actually, it was basically a talk 6. 1 was a time bomb known as they call them t v l's. so it was in some respects, effectually, it wound with a variable, but a cause that he had no idea what it was and the figure would be whatever they
8:51 pm
produced. there was no way that you would be able to quantify or calculate that figure because you needed a degree in almost astrophysics they be able to do. following comes in trends in the marker. none of us not on tape of us. we wanted to do is run motels. do you think it would be best to have a full scale review but sales process to ensure that actually the many customers who are complaining feel there is a real full of progress. those are unforgivable situations. a current customer testimonial face value has to be fixed and fascinated with your title. debbie. it looks like something created as a b, b, c, w, one, a executive director, customer trust and confidence. why do you think your institution decided to
8:52 pm
create a particular title called executive director, customer trust and confidence? i think people who radiate like that there's no, there's things have happened in the past at the bank. i've got a house full of paper work one terribly hard drive is all full of blanking emails on in there because who is a g o. c on the claim, the thing. so he's meeting today. so i was available and we are dealing with a off season that people have i think it's one to see
8:53 pm
8:54 pm
who we have had thousands of businesses coming to the m p. 's trying to deal with disputes on the back of things like r b. s is global restructuring group. and obviously the h for threading fraud is a much more extreme example of, of this kind of misconduct. but still essentially what we've identified between all the financial institutions, where perhaps they were trying to pull in loans quite quickly in order to recapitalize the banks that conduct fell by the wayside. ah, so you push a small business over the h pushes me right to the edge of bankruptcy and i was picking myself
8:55 pm
up again. and while i'm at corporate level, they came off to me under my personal guarantee. and they took me right to the edge of a high call action when they knew at the highest level of hbo lloyd's, they knew i was actually the victim of criminal behavior. and then you start to see that when the management, the senior management want to get heavy and get their result april in these 30 people. i would like to think the financial conduct or thought is on top of this, but they have known about this for a very long time. not much seems to be done. and i think that has slipped up badly . is the protection of whistleblowers who simply are not protected. we have new
8:56 pm
system to protect the so bless properly. and the whistleblowers be made rapidly redundant and people are very frightened. they are very fond of losing that pensions. if they go on making a fuss, r b s orchestrated to key things one my suspension. ah, despite me being the whistleblower and on to the put in place that organ nominated effectively shadow directors, which in itself is improper and under illegal and in not in that period. ah, not only did the punish me for blowing the whistle to them, but i also blew the whistle to the one the stock exchange, the city of london police, the serious fraud office because there was a counting anomalies were no beginning to look as if they were potentially fraudulent and criminal so, so i then became
8:57 pm
a protected person as a whistleblower. i stay said needed by the director of the seat, his fraud office and the head to be can make claims that city of london, police are based, ignored those legal protections and kept me on suspension for 4 months during which they effectively took control of the business through the shadow directors, they then put in their own advisors, thrown consultants, and within 4 months the put the company into ministration. and then the asset strip that and sold the assets to the service of bolts or fund who are notorious in new york has been the lender of last resort. and the buyer of last resort for, for a total price, including all advisors fees of $204400000.00 pounds, 4 months earlier i was sitting on eat offers from the biggest technology, funds in the planet for an excess of 600000000 pounds so
8:58 pm
the allegation is, is that between our b s and service, they stole 400000000 in, in making an unjust gain to the loss of my shareholders. born told us employees and suppliers, ah, join me every thursday and the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me. oh, when i see black america, i see part of my so when i was growing up,
8:59 pm
like america spoke to me. why destroyed it? did not those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america? no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where wide lives mattered. and i was not wide like missing. and i wasn't new from black america. i learned how to speak back to white aboriginal people here outlaw every day. we were out now with the police were out with 2 seats. i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system than there. although fellow friends in daycare, he's
9:00 pm
in with the phone service phase film career returns to us a russian movie director and an actress some bunk, full 12 days of sheer saying on the international space station. or ring of the muslims on the landing and reactions to the historic flight. and they found a special coverage. to be honest, i feel a little sad today with such a thing happens once in a lifetime though, so cool was cool. it was like a roller coaster and we were just enjoying our correspondence with us as the modeling fast handler, opposing from the landing site in kazakhstan. as the crew touched on on sunday morning, i thought this is for film director clincher panko save hands.
