    I would imagine that anything you cam access in the site as it stands will have no connection to any issues you have with ee.

    Issues with ee are a separate matter.I utilise the site to send out email updates to circa 180 participants in a fantasy football comp I run.All the email addresses are stored on the ee site.:(

    Work on the basis that the database no longer exists, I am afraid that is the likely reality.

    Got a letter in from the Solicitors Hughes Blake this morning regarding the liquidation.

    I was lucky and got my money from EE two years ago.

    Just asked to say if I was going to attend.

    Is this meeting going ahead as planned? Is it by invitation only or can anyone attend?

    Wonder what he was doing with the money. I wonder if he had personal problems (gambling or otherwise) that caused him to start stealing this money. Hope he gets the book thrown at him.

    Cannot post links, as I'm a new user, but it's worth checking the Irish Times/ Examiner websites this morning in relation to Event Elephant.

    In view of the undisputed wrongful actions of Barrett, he should be disqualified, the judge said. As there was no evidence of aggravating circumstances which could affect the public in the future, he imposed the minimum disqualification of five years.

    Are there further charges or cases pending? Doesn't seem very harsh for "siphoning off" (should that not read "stealing"?) the money of charities and small businesses.

    See today that Barrett got sent down for two and a half years for tax offences

    There are two certainties in life . . . . . .

    Whilst questionable if he got the one that befitted him, credit to Revenue for bringing him to task in some manner.

    Wasn't really aware of this story. Have just finished reading the thread! WOW.

    It's pretty amazing how in this day and age that there isn't a photo of him to be found on the web... friends in high places?
