…..anyone remember him, he’s just been locked up (May 28th ) for 7 years
-
Fraud, much like our own McIndoe
-
In summary.
Kevin Phelan sentenced to seven years in prison for role in pension fraud scheme – The Irish Times https://share.google/xsS2Zks3I30jO03C7
I wonder how his victims would respond to his plea for clemency?

Jail best place for him, should have happened years ago by sounds of things.
-
Looking forward to an update on the whole fiasco now

Is he the crook John Ryan tried to sell the club to twice?

Was he the guy that was kind of a broker for Sequentia Capital?

Looks like he's going to get assets seized under the Proceeds of crime as well

Absolutely!
He threatened to take my assets, along with quite a few others, and deserves to lose everything!

''The court heard how investor money, totalling over £3.7 million, was stolen and then laundered through a complex web of accounts and multiple companies. These entities, including Cornerstone Friendly Society and Cornerstone Direct, received funds from investors before transferring them to Sequentia Capital SA and other associated companies. To obscure their tracks, Phelan and his co-conspirators created bogus justifications for these transfers, including false claims of investments in loan notes associated with the ownership of the Doncaster Rovers football team, despite the team being “hopelessly insolvent” at the time. Phelan was also implicated in destroying and hiding evidence during a police search of their Leeds offices, with text messages revealing his ambition to earn millions from the fraud and “never have to work again.” cont ,,,

It all ties in with the Moriarty Tribunal too.The moment the supposed tak over cam about Irish friends with little interest in football were asking if i knew anything about the background of people involved.. I didnt,so they showed me so many allegatioms that later proved to be true that I could never back that shit.
How a certain ex chairman ever got involved with those criminals is beyond me.
Also how a vociferous number of supporters backed it is also beyond me.
That now needs to be buried in the past along with all those that were involved.

Amazing really if you think back to what happened in 1998. From Uncle Ken to Westferry but they had no profile whatsoever. Their model was I think to get hold of the lease on Belle Vue, move us to a new stadium and then negotiate some deal with the council for surrendering the lease for the housing development. I assume they ended up getting a decent exit from that arrangement but whether it was worth the delay and hassle to a man with such wealth, you do wonder.

There's still the biggest fish of all out there. Irish billionaire. Made his money in telecoms. But I won't name him as I don't have a billion or two spare with which to fight legal actions....

I suspect blind faith made one lead to the other. And led to 'fans' conducting orchestrated campaigns not only against the VSC as a whole but persoanlly against the VSC people doing their job and asking the hard questions.

Hopefully the full story can now be released

You’ve every right to be enjoying this moment Martin!

I wonder if the telecoms man is behind the Martin grange site?

I’ll never understand what drives DO’B and people like him to need to do this stuff? They are loaded beyond belief, this was back of the sofa stuff, why bother.

It's this sort of stuff and not necessarily playing by the rules that got them where they were.
