Are the 'share' certificates still 'in the post' btw?
Otherwise known as a 'Backhander' or 'Kickback'....at least where vlad is concernedQuote:

So that's a 'Dinnae ken' then ?Quote:

Here is the original news bulletin fom 4/3 ........ Doesn't look like they were in too much of a rush to get things in motion . . .Quote:

Hearts’ Director Sergejus Fedotovas also resigned from the board of UBIG, as did Rita Matuziene, BNS reported.
A new board will be elected at the next meeting of shareholders of UBIG, the date for which hasn’t been fixed, according to Matuziene, who said she remains in her post as chief executive officer at UBIG, according to BNS.

Of course big companies like UBIG maybe don't need a board of directors to keep such a huge profit making business going :greengrin
I am guessing that either (a) Lith and UK law are different or that (b) the resignations aren't ratified until the shareholders' meeting. The latter is common in UK law... directors can be "co-opted" in between shareholders' meetings but they aren't actually "elected" until then.Quote:

IMHO UBIG is just a front for all the shady dealings that the mad one does, it seems to have shareholders but no sign of a share price listed anywhere ! It's web page is so amateur it makes me laugh, and it appears to have started life as the mad ones private investment group. I had hoped to see this in administration by now but it appears that no external pressures are being applied to this rudderless company! Tick tock tick tock ...... :cbQuote:

Off topic - but did Vlad attend today's Cup Final?
They were rumoured to be belting out the old Vladimir Romanov ditty.
He was there :agree:Quote:

He was only there because City Cabs told him there'd be 25,000 glum chumps looking for a ride back to Queen St.Quote:

Probably a body double, they used to do it all the time in Stalin's day. The real Vlad was over to sort out Fatty Foulkes for getting him into this mess in the first place. By the time the game finished they were already half way over the North sea in his Bathysphere.Quote:

I thought vlad was totally broke just weeks ago, down to the cash he had in his pocket. Either he had a load of cash in his pocket or he was speaking out his erse. I know which one I believe...
Appears to be dating Steven Fry in drag going by that photo.Quote:
