Thanks entirely to the courageous investigative journalism of the snot gobbler Dan “microscopic cojones” McCrum at the FT, ex Globo (GBO) boss Costis Papadimitrakopoulos is now formally in the soup – the company has reported him for fraud to “the appropriate law enforcement agencies in the UK, Greece and Cyprus.”

I suspect he is already out of the country, plastic surgery healing, fake passports already used and waiting for his money to catch up with him after it has done a tour of the less suspecting banking jurisdictions.

I had a ruddy good laugh imagining yourself and the excellent Paul Scott sitting knitting whilst waiting for the sharpened steel to come down on the despicable fraudster Costis. Sounds like a worthwhile trip.
Slightly off topic…… what do you make of todays Utilitywise (UTW) results, Tom? Any thoughts? I know Mr Scott is a big fan of the company, even prepared to overlook their somewhat aggressive ( a la Quindell ) accounting policy. I seem to remember, your somewhat more sceptical?
