Go on SANDO, explain why you paid the Chairman over £600,000 for his services! Where is the evidence and report detailing what was provided and how this was a benefit to the company!!!
This is a blatant case of hush money, the Chairman left UKOG soon afterwards, oh and APEX was closed down in the USA, so it's all been papered over. The FCA should be all over this. He charged £600k for mickey mouse services...
