Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Oh what a tangled nest of vipers is Rangers FC (RFC). I refer not to the club in its current incarnation but to scandals past. It is scandals in the plural and at the heart of them is Craig Whyte, business partner of Aiden Earley – the driving forces behind Worthington (WRN).

Here is the BDO report, over £150m claim for Unsecured Creditors. Unsure whether Unsecured EPA is this mob or not http://www.bdo.co.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/1347695/RFC-progress-report-12-06-15-WEBSITE.pdf

Now in the Telegraph, read the positive slant toward Worthington Group in the writing. This is a leaked/PR issued story, got to be.

Is this to string the shareholders along a bit further, come some bad news on the way?
Ironcially this is the same journo who wrote the article “Rangers-takeover-Craig-Whyte-a-recluse-with-a-chequered-business-past” that was published on Rangers takeover day and then pulled the same day after pressure from the Whyte team who were monitoring the press. http://kerrydalestreet.co.uk/topic/8594587/273/
Certainly, an interesting change of tone

My mistake, that article was from last year! The suspension is now almost a year so read as if present day. Very strange it was the same journo though. Looks like they weren’t answering calls in 2014 either!
Ironically it appears they were actually screwed over on the Charles Green deal, all the evidence is there. But they are so crooked no-one believes them! Although don’t discount the chance that even that could have been a double bluff and Green was in on it all along, and made it look like Whyte was scammed out, when he wasn’t!
This bunch may make a few mistakes along the way, but don’t think they are fools. Their skullduggery has no bounds!

So this story came out, a 2 days before Craig Whyte was arrested. Where it is reported he was “asked to come in” according to his lawyers.
Coincidence? Mmmm…
