I just done a quick wiki …they got huge investment in around 2003 and it was only from 2016 people began asking questions ?
Ya, they are on trial for fraud now.
For about 10 years they kept attracting massive investment. Their board was made up of serious politcal heavy hitters, like Henry Kissenger, George Shultz and James Mattis

Roman period across the pond is fantastic, pity they picked the wrong island

The book is outstanding. Bad blood. Wonder is there much new in the podcast for me
I doubt it there’s much in it for anyone familiar with the case already. Although I think the later episodes will deal with the more current court stuff.

Thats a fucking brilliant piece. Kimmage is a great listen. Paul Howard has been an incredible loss to sports journalism on this island.
