Well, with this deal the club will have needed to see the source of funds. It's never just as simple as 777 lending to Everton -- in my experience there is always documentation to show the source of funds (ultimate beneficiary / beneficiaries / shareholders blah blah behind the company).
Its not like a simple "sam steals, sam lends to Everton". Theres a paper trail. Its like when you have a BVI company you face which is owned by Cayman entity and then behind that a Belize firm. The directors of each arent the owners and to find the source you need the name and documents of each and also behind the Belize entity (where it is a serious crime to reveal the true ownership).
I dont see how this would not be the case with this situation.
Also, as per my question we arent simply sending back to Sam or Joe. We could send to the courts, we could do all sorts of things to mitigate any issue as the innocent party.
Is that 777 situation not a civil case rather than a criminal one?
