Mercantile Investments - MVT. (BIL revisited)

[Snoopy]

Only in NZ, Snoopy where it's okay to allow child killers to escape jail because the law allows witnesses the right to remain silent.

Great, isn't it?

Are you implying that Brierley may be implicated in child killing because you judge him to be repugnant, immoral and disgusting, just like a couple of parents who got away with killing their child because they were repugnant, immoral and disgusting? That is too long a bow to draw surely?

The law isn't perfect Balance. Some guilty people do get off. But that is probably a better balance (sic) to strike than requiring less evidence and, as a consequence, imprisoning people who didn't do the crime.

Nope.

Just as I do not attempt to trivialise 200,000+ child abuse images & videos with multiple copies of some company annual reports.

Now that is to me repugnant & disgusting but not illegal.

You haven't seen these images on Brierley's computer and neither have I. What a child abuse image is might be obvious, or it might be in a grey area where an overzealous law enforcement officer made their own judgement that the image was underage or abusive. I don't think having multiple copies of something somehow makes it less bad either. Multiple copies might imply an intention to distribute, which I at least would see as a worse sin than having the same number of single images (Not that either option is good).

I suppose you think that someone has gone through all 200,000+ of those images just to check that they are all in fact distinct and abusive Balance?

How about moving this topic from the NZX forum to that for Off Market matters?

A good thing Sir Ron is not going to tried before a jury of New Zealand taxpayers. They may not be able to separate their bad memories about the damage to their wallets from the BNZ, Air New Zealand bailouts and the evidence placed before them at a trial.

He rode the 1980s sharemarket bubble better than anyone else (Equiticorp, Chase but to name 2).

When the crash came, BIL survived not because of Ron but because his underlings wrested control from him and aggressively sold assets.

He had enough followers to set up GPG and proved conclusively with GPG that he is the ultimate breeder of fat cats.

Now we know he also had other things in his mind and has been collecting other things besides stamps.

The charges of possession of child pornography and exploitation (rape) are as laid out in the charge sheet. You have a problem with the charges, go and complain to the Oz police.
