Hi Zack,
Thanks for your response to my post.
It seems, however that you have missed the point of my question, and by your own response, justified that question.
Neither you, I or my least favourite Leicester City fan can possibly have knowledge of any previous criminal or fraudulent acts or involvement when our owners are faceless, nameless and anonymous.
So, I ask again, how can anyone pass such a test if they remain persons unknown?
Oh! And the chap that currently does own Leeds United has got a well documented history of tax evasion in his native Italy. So clearly, it is not a requirement to have a squeaky clean history in the eyes of of The F.A. or the Football League.
Greg Clarke needs to answer my question, and not be allowed to trot out ill informed rot!
Just to add to that there have been more than one news article over the last couple of years linking European football to money laundering and separately more than one news article linking hedge funds, especially those registered in offshore tax havens to money laundering. Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that this is what's happening at CCFC. My comments are aimed at our governing bodies. They govern an industry linked to illegal activity and the test they use don't actually seem to identify who actually owns or invests through the "owners" of clubs. It's not too difficult to see why football is being targeted by money launderer's and that's a failing from the FL and FA and possibly even deeper into world football.
Also these investors could of pulled out at any given time, which they haven't, because they know something we don't IMO.

Haha and you think other people come up with conspiracy theories. People will run with this now, SISU using the club to launder money. People throw random statements out and say not saying SISU are doing this. Yet they know people will spread it, unbelieveable.
Why would anyone pull out of a business that could potentially be getting a substantial windfall soon through the courts? That's one logical way to look at it from a business sense, they've already taken the hit haven't they? Surely those same people will wait to recoup, they have no more to lose now they don't fund the club anymore..How do we know the investors haven't pulled out if we don't know who they are?

But you said no-one knows who the investors are? so how could we know?I'm sure it was discussed on here that the original investors had likely pulled out. I'm sure it was OSB? Happy to be corrected though.

He hasn't made this up, there is genuine concern around the game.

I said I hadn't seen it in the news. Just that by mentioning it and SISU in the same breath, people will put 2+2 together and get 5.

You are a Muppet. Aside from the fact I've made the point of saying I don't think that this is the case at CCFC with SISU it's also not a conspiracy theory. Try googling football and money laundering or hedge funds and money laundering. You'll be spoilt for choice on articles to read and the concern's go all the way to government. Especially Washington. Or perhaps we should add the American government to the list of people ganging up on CCFC. Unbelievable.
