Aiden Earley has obtained an interim injunction against me publishing certain documents he admits are genuine because I might damage his good reputation. Who on earth is he kidding? There are large number of reasons why this man is a Pariah in the City, a scumbag, almost universally despised. And so here we go on explaining to Worthington (WRN) shareholders the track record of your dominant shareholder and the man who has created the omnishambles of a fraud that is your company.
We will gloss over the fact that Earley spent four months in prison for accounting malpractice in 1992. That was a minor career setback. We can go through the numerous failed companies on his CV. Again only a minor setback. We can gloss over his involvement with Craig Whyte and Rangers FC (coming to a Court in Scotland soon) and incidentally a matter where Earley has been quizzed under caution many times.
Perhaps I shall – for the time being gloss over how he subscribed for £80,000 of shares in an AIM placing, took the shares and dumped them but never paid for them. The CEO of the company involved has just donated £1,000 to our “Fighting Aiden Earley of the fraud Worthington (and Rangers FC) Fund" – as I hope that you will do here – and will appear in Court of needs be to explain why behaviour such as this means that Earley’s City reputation is of being a total rotter.
Pro tem we shall gloss over how the emails Earley do not want you to see show once again that he treats a PLC bank account as his own piggy bank and cares not a jot about any standards of decency and adhering to the law.
Let us for now just consider the behaviour which lead to him being disqualified as a director for five years in 2013.
