I’m sorry, world famous?

I suspect the vast majority of money going into Everton was Usmanovs as opposed to Moshiris. He wasn't doing it to 'wash' the money that in the eyes if the law was already legitimate, it was a [Poor language removed] swinging exersize. Some people collect watches, some people collect supercars, some of his friends have megayachts..... Very few of them own a world famous sports team.

That's all Everton is/was.... Bragging rights. It's gone wrong (spectacularly) but it's NOT money laundering. Ffs.

The Guardian have a real hard-on for them. The loan company deal is shady as fuck but the government won’t look at it given how many of their MPs have assets stuffed away offshore.

 

Yeah, the bit at the end isn't dodgy or shady at all-

As well as being funded by a businessman who was barred from the UK, Everton has been struggling for more than three years to raise the finance to complete the building of its new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

The club has also received about £150m in loans from an opaque lender called Rights & Media Funding Limited (RMFL), a Cheshire-based company its lawyers said last year competed “with some of the largest names in sports financing”, although it does not possess a single employee, a website or a phone number.

As the Guardian reported in November, RMFL also appears to have borrowed much of its money from a company based in the offshore secrecy jurisdiction of the Bahamas, which started lending to RMFL just six months after the offshore firm was established and does not reveal its source of funds.

Neither Everton nor Moshiri provided an on-the-record comment.
