Alan reckons its a Mortgage Company. The Stat Man thinks its morphed into a finance company
Alan says it has loans and mortgages. The Stat Man reckons the money has gone, in part, to AH's own financial interests and trusts. Some loans appear not to be secured by land and some loans appear to have no registered security.
Alan is silent on Aorangi money going into Trusts (Otipua Charitable Trust, Oxford Charitable Trust, Regent Charitable Trust, Morgan Charitable Trust, Benmore Charitable Trust, and
Wai-iti Charitable Trust.) formed in March 2010 into which he was transferring his personal assets.
Alan is silent on Aorangi money going to Te Tua Trust. The Stat Man says this Trust was giving interest free loans and it seems some of those loans are in arrears.
No here you are being more mischievous. As far as I can tell, Allan has not expressed any view on any of this - it is you putting words into his mouth. You are also representing the Statutory Managers position with a great deal more definition than even the Statutory Manager, himself.
Quote:
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
There, much better now ... words should be used to express the truth about things ... not "twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools",
