Appleby is next in line, still not interested in talking to MA but not for the want of trying from MA, the £28m is what he put on the table in Jan, he also said he’d raise it if outbid. Can only assume his proposal isn’t good for creditors. So looks like a race between CK and Appleby. Not normally ITK and so much info flying around just sharing what I’ve heard. It’s also v interesting who Appleby’s backer is if my source is correct. Weren't the stories at the time of Ashley's first expression of interest that he wanted the stadium, leaving little for the creditors and he's refuse to pay anything to the Administrations? Appleby's backer.....Mel? RadioactiveWaste and Sparkle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the establishment casting aspersions on something outside their control, as usual. I'd like to bet there's even more money-laundering going on with real money and we all know how good the establishment is at preventing that! Yeah banks won't like crypto because they want to control money for their own use.

I cannot believe he wouldn't be aware that MLA would want to look at the source of his funds. Fine he says it was to hurry things up, but he's known for some time he's buying the Club. He has known he wanted to buy the club for some time, so has Quantuma and the EFL. Nobody can be free from blame if they are seriously saying they hadn't thought this might be a problem. jimtastic56, RoyMac5, RadioactiveWaste and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney1991 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Issue is how long to the admins wait. Looking at it these checks could take days, weeks or even months and we need it now. Could be waiting till next week or could drop tomorrow or not even this month.

I have just listened to the Alan Nixon on talksport and that was interesting. The issue with CK is that he is transferring an amount larger than anything he has done before (red flag) and from the US to a country he probably has never transferred to before (red flag). I would imagined a compliance officer of a US bank has made a SAR (suspicious activity report) to the FinCen (the US money laundering reporting establishment). In the UK we would send our SAR to the NCA (National Crime Agency). The issue with this is that your bank transfer is blocked for a period (short) of time to allow an investigation. It will then be released. If you ever have a payment that is held up by a bank for about 5 days then that is what has probably happened. Also it is a criminal offence to tell your client (CK) if you have made a SAR, so he will be well frustrated. If it hasn't gone to the FinCen then the release should be quicker as the bank will be asking for potential proof of where his funds have come from and where they are going. The US banks are amongst the most stringent in the world due to the large fines given out by US regulators. I think we just need to be patient as I'm not sure how much CK can tell us.

Then you hear that he's tried to avoid anti-money laundering checks? Don't tell me I'm putting a negative slant on that. It speaks for itself. RoyMac putting a negative slant on things??

I think the crypo aspect being discussed is provenance of the money - we all assume he's transferred $usd (or possibly £) - cK claims he got his wealth by early investment in bitcoin (I think).

Seems to me that in the assessment of both the Admins and the EFL, the CK bid still has the most realistic chance of reaching a successful conclusion, otherwise the (supposed) imminent end of exclusivity would have ended. If anyone can come up with a more likely realistic theory....feel free to share. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the first extension of exclusivity his bid was turned down again and they extended ck by a week I think. He needs to put in writing the same bid or just go away and stop wasting everybody’s time. Comrade 86 and jono 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't transferring crypto but he is transferring cash he has made from cashing in his crypto. So that is another red flag , making three by my reckoning (as you say the other two being the size of the sum and also the transfer being from US to UK). Nothing to say it's not legit but how does CK prove it is legit and how long will that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
