Died today

Maybe some of us made or lost some money on some of his many deals?

A pathological liar who financially destroyed a great number of people's lives.

That's exactly right, all the biggest crooks, scabs and sycophants with their snout in the public trough get one. Presumably Alan Bond only ripped off private investors, not that this is ok but if the government gives you Methanex or BNZ then you get a knighthood as well. For taking hundreds of millions off our hands.

Yes Maxwell was a pig.
Loved Lola's comment about Kiwi 's "hall of shame" receiving knighthoods.!
Great seeing a certain Dame facing "challenges."

Aussies will remember him for winning the Americas cup as much as for his business "deals".
