Given that Tony was intending to buy the pub himself when he did this, I was wondering whether this could be considered fraudulent. Any legal experts care to weigh in?<br /><br />Anonymous 02:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-74352787519505501942015-05-25T11:01:09.941+01:002015-05-25T11:01:09.941+01:00Its not about money or fraud, its so Tony can have...Its not about money or fraud, its so Tony can have the shares all in his name and so have the majority ownership and can run it with Tracy but of course Carla has to ridiculously "gazump" him at the very last second.

In other words, his limited corporation bought the pub, not Tony. Withholding his identity during the transaction is his prerogative, not fraud.

The point was, that Tony said he needed the money back that he lent Steve for the tax bill, and the only way Steve could raise the money right away was to sell his share of the pub. He probably got more than the 10,000 for it, so anything over the 10,000 he paid back to Tony, he would keep.

So therefore he is not out of pocket. If he were to sell his share, he would have the $ from the sale and he's been repaid by Steve. It's as if he had just bought out Steve in the first place, when Steve first had the tax problems.
