First of all I wish to apologise for the flippant tone of my original post. It may have had something to do with my upbeat mood as I was composing it.

Ok... now down to business.

Have a look at:  http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

The above link takes you to a pdf setting out information about bankruptcy restriction orders. On page three it states the kind of stuff that you need to do to get you stuck with such an order:
.
"Below you will find some examples of dishonest or
blameworthy conduct that the official receiver could give
as evidence in their report to court. This is not a
complete list, but includes:
• incurring debts that you knew you had no
reasonable chance of repaying;
• giving away assets or selling them at less than
their value;
• deliberately paying off some creditors in
preference to others;
• gambling or making rash speculations or being
unreasonably extravagant;
• failing to keep or produce records that would
explain a loss of money or property;
• fraud or fraudulent breach of trust;
• causing your debts to increase by neglecting
your business affairs;
• failing to supply goods or services that have
been paid for;
• carrying on a business when you knew or ought
to have known you could not pay your debts.
The more blameworthy your conduct, in the court’s
opinion, the longer the BRO is likely to last"


So, has he done any of the above? Are his creditors/ victims aware of the benefit of reporting this to the Official Receiver? What do you know? Are you a victim? Please tell the official receiver or post what you know here.
Do it now.... you know that you want to...
