    What I really don’t understand is; why announce that “it’s all done bar the shouting, and it will definitely be done tomorrow”, if there is any chance it won’t be. Why make a rod for your own back? Why whip up expectations yet again? Why why why.

    I know there’s another 8 hours of Thursday to go, but surely they would have announced something by now if it were ‘nailed on’.  

    I work from home and it’s times like this I wish I was still in the office; at least I wouldn’t be able to spend so much time refreshing this thread and Twitter with the beady eye of my boss on me!! 

    I thought they said they anticipated it would be done tomorrow (today)

    Twenty years ago, I bought a car for £12k. The same day, I filled it with petrol. I also bought something online c.£20. The bank called to ask if I had bought the petrol and the online purchase "as these are commonly bought if someone had found/stolen a card. They made no mention of the £12K. After that, I have always assumed the banks flags are a bag of dogs testicles.

    Old systems were very basic

    actually, whilst there must be some ridiculously low threshold (I don’t think a one off transfer of funds of a couple of hundred pounds is likely to trigger serious AML checks), I believe you are correct. 

    Unless they were flagged as a certain type of account.

    Yeah you're right,  there would be a lower end threshold that the system would ignore even if it hit a flag. They also have scoring systems so one flag of a certain type might not be enough to trigger a case,  but 2 or 3 may. 

    There are countless rules that can be put in place.

    Absolutely right. The red flag threshold will be far far below £20m

    The flags would be based on how unusual the payment was compared to normal transactions.  If a transaction was more than a certain amount outside standard deviation compared with transactions in the past 6 months/ year etc.

    The Binnies pulled out, the Administrators did not reject them; they asked them to increase their bid which they refused to do and pulled out.

    Yes, of course, we want to avoid liquidation. I just hope we have that choice.

    Rooney's press conference answers did not fill me with the same level of confidence that you appear to have.

    The report says it was the administrators who ended the discussions not the Binnie's.
