But Walshâs story doesnât add up; the references are only used upon conviction so that would be the only time theyâd be needed. Humphreys IIRC didnât plead guilty until about 5 years after he was charged and even when he did there was a good delay before sentencing so they had knowledge of his deeds before their references were used.
My own view is that they gave them either assuming, or being advised, that their names would stay out of it.
Long story short, they contributed to him getting a lighter sentence and that should never be forgiven or forgotten.
I donât know as much about this as you lads but the story I heard was that Gaybo had an accountant who told him that heâd keep his finances under the counter and that Gaybo would pay no tax and basically by continually telling Gaybo that he was a criminal and he the accountant was the only one that Gaybo could trust, thatâs how the accountant got away with it so long.
I might have this all wrong now but wasnât there something very specific, like a big payment to open a shopping centre that Gaybo hid from the taxman?
Excuse my scurilous rumour spreading, Iâm just trying to get the story straight.
Retired football guru John Giles was another to fall foul of Russel Murphyâs various schemes. John dropped about 100k of hard earned loot.
Surprisingly he didnât kick Murphy to death.
