Stay safe sweet prince (to coin a phrase from kickback, used even as the yams teetered on the brink of liquidation).
Does he still have plenty of money in Russia?
Huge fine, borrow the cash and then owe it to himself.
Beat me to it[emoji5]Quote:

‘he owns a bank’ was absolute nonsense-he was the largest shareholder with about 40%.
I knew he didn’t have much personal wealth when I seen him leave riccarton in a 2 year old Volkswagen phaeton. The Bentley of the Volkswagen range that depreciated quicker than it accelerated. Nae multi millionaire gets chauffeured in a phaeton.
He piloted a submarine through the Baltic, though.Quote:

What he did and the millions he squandered on the Jambos are as nothing compared to the £185 Lady Haig Poppy Fund was stiffed for.
Will be confirmation 2 cup wins were funded by illegal means. Strip them of the wins or at the very least put an asterisk next to them with a note below "Funded by Fraud".Quote:

Is it correct that wins funded by the proceeds of criminal activity are void? Seem to remember there was chat about this a while back.Quote:

On kickback they are saying he didn’t add to Hearts debt, which he inherited from RobinsonQuote:

I used the example of abramovich who used to write a cheque to cover chelsea’s losses and leave them debt free but I was told I was a jealous hobo 😂😂😂
Romanov stands for everything that is financially corrupt.
He "Gangstered" it over The Jambos and bought them tainted silverware.
Let's not ever forget how the maroon masses lapped it up and turned a blind eye to the financial doctoring and seedy goings on within the Tynecastle corridors.
And let's also never forget that infamous statement on Sickback by one of their more demented followers: "Hibs are no longer our rivals!
The voices of dozens of shafted businesses and charities can still be heard above the roar of their "selective memories" hordes.
To this day the shame and stench of that era hangs over their Pink bus shelter.
The debt at administration was over 50% more than the one inherited from Robinson, which was £19.5m. And that was after the various debt for equity swaps, which totalled £22m.Quote:

Trust you and your numerical facts, all based on their very own numbers which they had to disclose themselves pre and post administration no doubt[emoji5]Quote:

To be fair, you have to allow for the fact that they couldn't afford batteries for their calculator.Quote:

Vlad shafted the jambos remember medals mackay and the yams welcoming him on TV wearing cossack hats comedy 🥇
Ta, Thought as much. Some comments over the road seem to think it’s ok to have run up his debt, as they got 2 Cup wins from itQuote:

Maybe Ewan Murray the Hearts journalist who still lists " . . . . . Vladimir Romanov's stewardship of Heart of Midlothian" as one of his areas of interest in the Guardian can be called as a witness after his amazing investigative journalist skills during that period revealed . . . . . . absolutely f&$k all.
Work with a Lithuanian girl whose Dad lost his job in Kaunas because of Romanov's swindling. Many there did and it's why they moved here as he couldn't support his family. He's really Russian though isn't he? Hopefully falls foul of Putin. But probably checks all the boxes for the bigger Vlad... Unhinged, dodgy and a crook.
Anyone ever connected with Hearts could claim Insanity or acting while the balance of their mind was disturbed.
No jury in the land could convict him.
Sorted. Off scot free.
Wonder if he'll call Lord Foulkesake as a character witness? He investigated Vlad before declaring him as the new Messiah.
The net deficiency of assets per BDO's Statement of Liabilities in Administration lodged at Companies House 2 December 2013 was £43,684,551, which will include losses brought forward accumulated under previous regimes. The revised list of known creditors was finally confirmed as being £33,920,645.30 on 29 November 2015. The revised total was caused by Heriot Watt University having amended their claim, presumably for the full term of the lease agreement rather than merely the arrears.Quote:

This is approximately a quarter of the overall group debt for which Romanov is finally being prosecuted.
This can be corroborated by adding up the net losses before debt restructuring and disposals of intangible assets (i.e. player sales) in the statutory accounts from 31 July 2006 to 30 June 2013, each of the full accounting periods during Romanov's tenure as a shadow director, which total £75.7m. There is a cumulative loss of £1.9m on intangibles in the same period.
