iansheff 86 #1 Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Marvellous how Jamie Oliver reportedly worth £100m will avoid paying most of the £83m debt after his restaurant chain failed and he closed 22 of his restaurants. That leaves taxpayers and small businesses he owes money to, to foot part of the bill. He keeps his money while taxpayers and the businesses pay for his debts, then again this country seems to look after the rich so should expect it. In November he launched a new restaurant brand, 2 new restaurants in Bali and Bangkok, he has 70 restaurants outside the UK through franchise agreements. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10692864/jamie-oliver-avoid-paying-83m-debts-restaurants/ Edited January 8, 2020 by iansheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared 302 #2 Posted January 8, 2020 Your point is what? He has £100m quid in the bank to pay these debts with? He should foot business expenses from his personal finances? He intentionally ran his own business into the ground to screw other people over? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
apelike 10 #3 Posted January 8, 2020 I think you will find that it is the normal way it works for a failing company to go into administration and declare bankruptcy and not exclusive to Jamie Oliver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chaddamp 0 #4 Posted January 8, 2020 Its what's happened in life, people who haven't got a worried conseince don't care about consequences ,there's far to many instances to list here ,but I am sure that the attitude really does evoke annoyance within people who witness those who disappear with loads of money having lead their business "up the swanny" Anyone remember the boss of RBS? he's on a pension of £7000 a week,thats over £3 million every year for destroying a major financial institution.

Does it matter who he is - surely that sentiment should apply to everyone including the one man two man enterprises that form phoenix like companies every other year stealing thousands directly from the mouths of many members of the public. My company is insured for such closures so we're not out of pocket and neither is the tax man (but then again we restrict our vulnerability based on the insurance) lots of companies just clamour for the money and the prestige and thats a business risk, most private individuals scammed by builders,plasterers,car dealerships don't have that saftey blanket.

He doesn't owe the money, his businesses do. Personal finances =/= business finances Can I ask, do you have a private pension?
