Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte is now accused of key involvement in a company that encourages suffering to dodge debt amid the coronavirus.
The forbidden director Whyte turns out to make wonderful efforts to hide his involvement in the parasitic restructuring of the fortress, which takes credit for the pandemic through the anguish of others.
But a Record investigation has revealed damning evidence that he is at the center of the company morally bankrupt, answering the phone, holding meetings and exposing the main points of immoral transactions he claims he can temporarily establish.
Whyte’s role will infuriate Rangers fans, who were dismayed when he used the same deceptive and destructive role to bring the club to its knees in 2012.
Fortress Retructuring braubly proposes, for a fee, to accompany corporations in the sordid asset stripping procedure and to double bankrupt corporations.
A connected website, Rescue Capital, proposes to do the same for London filmmakers.
He advises customers to continue receiving coins from creditors until death and tells them how to pay redundancy coins to workers “beyond the expiration date.”
Our probe involved recording phone conversations with a man who claimed to be “Tom” after answering the Fortress Restructuring phone.
Whyte’s father, Tom, 73, is the sole director of Fortress; however, it is nothing like the voice in the film, who told our undercover journalist that he would appoint an insolvency practitioner “who is friendly, which is in appearance and who would actually do it.”
When we presented the two audio recordings, which are now on the Daily Record online page, to a prominent British phonetics expert, he agreed with the strong suspicions that Craig Whyte was the supplier, not his father.
Former Rangers president Alastair Johnston, who passed the reins of force to Whyte after buying a majority stake in the club by 1p in 2011, firmly believes that the vocals in the band is Whyte.
Johnston said: “I’ve heard and there’s no doubt it’s Craig Whyte.
“In the way he said it, where he said it, in the way he did, his characterizations of everything, the way he temporarily highlights and ends the sentences.
“All Craig Whyte — brought terrible memories.
He added: “I don’t know if he complied with the law or not, yet the slightly disguised evil he was looking for to convince him to settle would be consistent with his past practice, and other possible sick people deserve to be warned. your guard
Craig Whyte was sent off as corporate manager for up to 15 years after his shameful control in the Rangers in 2012, shattering the hearts of the club’s supporters.
This means that you must be a director or interested in controlling or creating a business.
The ruling over who issued the ban heard why Whyte’s conduct opposed “shocking and reprehensible” Rangers.
In the past, Whyte had been banned from being a director for seven years because of the asset count; however, he lied and denied being expelled after discovering rap.
Hailed as the club’s savior when he bought it for a penny in 2011, his reign collapsed when the Daily Record revealed that he had paid off the club’s bank debt by mortgaged 17.7 million pounds in long-term ticket sales.
The club was forced into the administration, then liquidated and had to make its way to the back of Scottish football.
The SFA also banned Whyte for life as “not a fit and proper person” to run a football club.
He has still paid a fine of 200,000 euros that was imposed on him.
The Bank of Scotland took over the 14th-century Whyte house, Castle Grant, near Grantown-on-Spey in Moray, after a long war with more than 50,000 euros in arrears.
Whyte, 49, filed for bankruptcy for ticketus’s 20 million pounds. The bankruptcy order was lifted in 2016.
In 2017, he was acquitted of fraud by taking Rangers.
A prominent Scottish insolvency practitioner said that encouraging Fortress site administrators to mislead lost cash creditors will be investigated.
He said, “An investigation of the insolvency service would be justified here, as language encourages irresponsible conduct through directors.”
“This exposes them to a imaginable scoundrel and a non-public responsibility for not acting in the most productive interests of creditors at a time when their businesses are in trouble and cannot pay their debts.”
By declaring “10 things that corporations affected by coronavirus mergers want to do,” the Fortress Restructuring online page encourages bosses to bend corporations to pay employees cash.
He says the company can continue to negotiate after the proceeding with the same name.
He said: “We are marketing specialists and former insolvency practitioners. We have lived and breathed insolvency for years.”
The company uses pre-registered “old” corporations and “designated directors” to sneak out of assets and allow all debts to be closed with any “old” in trouble.
The site promises: “If it’s conscientiously structured, it could possibly pay off its old debts and have few creditors to pay. Imagine more VAT, PAYMENT or creditors over the next two or 3 months while your consumers continue to pay you normally.”
He asks, “Are you being harassed by creditors?” Do you have a large VAT or tax bill that you can’t pay?
“We can create a new business to legally buy the assets of your old company in trouble.
“You can get a new company to start as a debt-free company. You can legally leave tax debts, disputed creditors and lawsuits behind. You could even get rid of your workers who have passed the due date without paying redundancy.” »»
The technique shows an overview for creditors, stating: Our team will take care of everything that does not have the time or inclination to deal with.
“We will contact HMRC and the company will no longer trade. We’ll write to the company’s creditors about what happened. We will deal with legal threats and lawsuits.”
Fortress advises his clients to lawyers or insolvency professionals, saying: “An insolvency professional is never on your side. He’s on the side of his creditors. It will be heavily influenced by primary creditors such as HMRC.
“He’ll appear friendly until you call him, yet there’s a very genuine danger that he’ll be your worst enemy.”
“Our team, which includes lawyers, former insolvency practitioners and others like you who have experienced this before, can help you more than in other areas.”
The register sent main points to the restructuring of the castle and the recordings to the insolvency investigators.
A spokesman for the insolvency branch said, “We can verify that we have gained data related to the activities of a banned director in the past, which we will now review.”
The Registry called the mobile phone number provided after our call to Fortress, to which Tom Whyte responded.
We explained that we were hoping to inform your son of the accusations that he ran the company.
Tom hung up and we didn’t get any reminders from Whyte.
