My thoughts exactly. I know people loosely who know him and have business dealings with him, and by all accounts he's a real arsehole. Typical little man syndrome.

So you're telling me neither of you would do the same if you had his wealth?

I certainly would!

You're missing the point. Wonder how you;d have felt if Jimmy Savile made it to trial and could have bought his way out of it. Be happy to watch him get away would you ?

Different circumstances I grant you - but the same principle. Using money to escape justice.

I don't think that it is right at all, however if German law allows him to buy his way out of trouble, then so be it. Doesn't make him any less of an untrustworthy bastard though!

Oh don't get me wrong, he's certainly a snidey little cunt, but I'd do exactly the same in his position.

Isn't that effectively what he did with all his charity donations if you believe everything in the papers.

Lol. The Judge stated that the prosecution had little chance of making the case stick as theres was very little evidence to make something stick.

No different to any other case settled out of court.

The guy isnt dangerous, he isnt a peado, he brings wealth to the uk economy (f1 is a huge manufacturing export) so who gives a toss if he paid a bung

Do you all moan about your local councellors, your favourite football players, etc about the bungs they take or are involved in paying.

Its just business, not everything is black and white......except zebras and humbugs
