Have a read of the SFO's Annual report https://www.sfo.gov.uk/download/annual-report-2019-2020/
Talk about blowing trumpets!! (and SFOfsky refers to the SFO as "an influential and world class organisation..." Yeah right the organisation sued for hundreds of millions when they got it wrong and fined by HMRC for VAT infringements.)
As for their meddling in Petrofac's affairs now over 3 years and who knows when it will end.

Mikey-I repeat what I said yesterday
"Another bout.....
of euphoria followed by the usual dismal drift back leaving the MM's with nice fat profits-again.
We've seen it all before and before and before........"

This BB is full of words like "should" "might" "could" "when" "if" etc. etc..

The MM's and BoD have shafted us, Sierra have shafted us and no doubt the Chinese will shaft us as well.

Just catching up after a hol. from the screen.
What a shambles- just like two kids squabbling over a bag of sweeties. Yet another slap in the face of SFOfsky and her Merrie Men and further confirmation, if it was needed, that the SFO is long overdue for a complete clear out and overhaul.
These are the people, or some of them, who purport to run the country. The Saints preserve us.

But finished up in the Top 20 Risers!

....and now 72!!!

Correction-80!!

Yep!
Down from 92 to 85 in a few minutes!!

In the absence of any news smacks of a concerted P&D by the MM's looking to drum up trade in a dull market. Have been able to obtain a dummy selling price up until a few minutes ago but doors now closed.

"Pisted".
Presumably this is skiing with a bottle of Bolli in one hand a bottle of Stolli in the other??

It's not up to the SFA (SFO?) to say "big fine"
They build a case then try to persuade the DPP that they Do have a case. Then it goes to Court and the Jury decides whether guilty or not guilty.
This all takes time and unfortunately the SFO think they have all the time in the World and yahboo sucks to the small investor who they are ruining slowly but surely.
When they are proved wrong, they will shrug their shoulders and move on to their next victim, pausing only to check on the progress of their solid gold 100% safe pensions, paid for by the very people they are ruining.

Look fella' if you can't post on this BB without going out of your way to be offensive suggest you zip it until you can.
Now filtered so don't bother posting more vitriol.

Bragging
"exhibiting or characterised by excessive pride or boastfulness."
Not quite sure what you are trying to say. No "pride" or "boasting" in the comments on SFO at all.
"LMFAO"?????

Good points Marcus but I would comment as follows:_
i) the Director IS the SFO whether she likes it or not

ii) several Solicitors have left to take up "more lucrative employment" hence there is some mileage in your comment about doing it on the cheap. However IF the Public want the powers that be to jump on large scale fraud, which affects us all in some way or another, then they will have to pay for it to be dealt with swiftly. That they care not about how their taxes are spent is woefully demonstrated on a regular basis.

Billions are wasted by Government every year but they murmur not.

HS2 is projected to cost up to £150 billion but they murmur not (apart from those on the proposed route)

SO let's have a properly funded SFO to get the job done properly 'cos at present it is us shareholders, including pension funds, who are footing the bill big time metaphorically speaking through no fault of ours

iii) Unfortunately the SFO is bound by law to announce investigations as they have an impact on a company share price. Even if they were not, the chances of an investigation being leaked are enormous. (It was no coincidence that 2 days before the 2017 announcement of the Petrofac investigation, 2 investment houses increased their short positions by substantial amounts). Was it ever investigated-you know the answer).

Can't the SFO get anything right.
"Tinsley established contact with Osofsky and other senior SFO staff around September 2018, saying he wanted to mend a frayed relationship between the SFO and FBI and "build something great""

Why hadn't he tried when Green was in charge? Maybe he thought to take advantage of the US "Old Pals" system to hoodwink Osofsky into cooperating with him. She had only been Boss since August 2018 and probably saw it as a chance to obtain some quick convictions very early on in her tenure of office and so stack up considerable brownie points with HMG.

Notwithstanding "..... the judge had found no evidence of bad faith or unlawful behaviour." the whole debacle is a serious indictment of her judgement in getting involved with Tinsley at all when he was "patently acting only in the interests of the Ahsanis", the very people the SFO were trying to convict.

We thought it would be a blood bath last year but they sweet talked their way out of it and we're no further on in terms of the much trumpeted increase in shareholder value, or anything else for that matter. A veil of torpor seems to have settled over Pampisford which seems destined to remain ad infinitum under the present BoD.
BoD? Bunch of Dinosaurs

..... and still struggling to tread water.

Oh dear!! More censorship- the illiterate programmers at LSE have deleted the word used to describe the opposite of hen.
Pathetic.

Wasn't it KPMG who gave Petrofac a clean bill of health back in 2017 when they had asked for an investigation into alleged inducement payments?
