Sample of comments from Daily Mail readers:
“Money breeds money – not any more it seems! I’m not crying over this.” – Yasmin, London
“Many saw this coming years ago sold up and rented and waited” – Clarioneer, Dorset
“Finally a bit of good news” – Lee, Liverpool
“These people deserve what they have got, they are already multi millionaires and they still want more.” – Robbie, Nottingham
“No tears shed here” – William Peden, Cumbernauld
“Welcome to the real world, rich boys.” – Susie, Suffolk

Normal working classes were seen as relatively rich by the criminal element and as such were victims to support the ‘habbits’ of such. Now there is not much to be gained from this class,the attention will be focused on the genuinely wealthy.

“sophisticated financial leverage and acquisition structures to optimise returns’.
Otherwise known as bull5hit.

They never give the details though, which makes me think that those that could – did withdraw their funds somehow and left creditors with unpaid bills – hence the administration.
