Hi All. Eddie and I are still plugging away. Vitol had asked for all bids for the assets to be tabled by the end of May, we were not in a position to table a bid given an almost impossible task of unravelling the ownership of assets.
Baker Tilly show no interest in understanding what's occurred claiming there are no funds available to pay themselves.
Vitol will be looking to secure any offers above $10m to cover their losses, we can only hope there is more than one bidder, and a price above $10m could see some dispersal to shareholders post event. The company now needs to be put into receivership in order a proper investigation can occur, this is what should have happened in the first place as Baker Tilly have done nothing to resurrect the company which is the sole purpose of administration.
As for conducting class actions, our efforts to enlist help to proceed with them have faltered, we are now struggling to understand why the individual who offered to help put himself forwards, as he has contributed fork all. Sorry it's not better news but I guess everybody knew the Chuckle Brothers will have muddied the water so much as to make any actions against them almost impossible.
Having said this we are able to write to their new employers highlighting their inadequacies, Karstel for instance is now working as a project engineer, take a look at his linked in profile for details.
In summary BHR was used for years as a vehicle to draw large salaries by a group of ex-pats who in my opinion had no intension of bringing this company to Tier 1 cost production, in the end their greed caught up with them. We will see through the process of what happens post sale of assets to see if there are funds for shareholders but I wouldn't hold your breath.
