Quote from Eddie Hobbs' blog from last week:
NAMA
"Central to the titanic struggle about to play out in the courts is not just the land and development sites secured against development loans but the vast property empires held elsewhere by developers and exposed to NAMA by personal guarantees to make good the debt. Tactics include;
Raising new loans from overseas banks against property currently free of encumbrance, placing the cash raised by the equity release into bank accounts held outside the State. This reduces the net property assets by developers exposed to NAMA’s trawl of assets.
Settling property and other assets into family trusts, changing the ownership of assets to professional trustees and placing another layer of ownership in the way of NAMA
Moving assets into wives names, a switch currently free of gift tax, thereby removing key assets from the ownership of the exposed developer".
Have these people no honour, it seems that it is with good reason that bankrupts can't sit in the Dail.
