Perfectly correct re cash back from BHs - but adjusted by fact that HUR BoD collaborated. The BoD were our employees - we ain't blameless
Re Chaffe & Maris - my view harsher. Grown men paid huge salaries to work for and in the company's interests, with according requisite ethics. - higher the salary, higher the ethical requisite. Both knew precisely what they were doing and IF Chairman tried to strongarm either, the correct response was simple - tell Chair to f*ck off. If Chair persists and rest of BoD back Chair, resign and go public. It is a simple matter - it is called ethics. Anything else is dereliction of duty and defrauding company (stealing, taking money under false pretences, whatever).
By your yardstick, one would excuse Nazi death camp commandants in WW2 for murdering millions because they were being 'leaned on' by Hitler.
My view - attempted fraud, theft, deception, call it what you will, on a grand scale.
Both need go ASAP - zero sympathy, both vermin
I would suggest peeps re-read yesterday's eloquent and emotive 17.04 post by Cmonyoublues - this is the price SHs have already paid, are still paying, and will continue to pay unless an absolute recovery miracle occurs
