This case makes me wonder if Scotland Yard are worried to investigate wondering what can of worms they'll open, or just can't be bothered based on the fact they'll never get a prosecution of any sorts anyway.
HMRC were quoted somewhere as saying words to the effect of "we know he didn't earn all this money and was fronting it - laundering - for someone else, but because we did not know who we were investigating we took the matter no further". Now you can read that two ways - they either couldn't figure out whose money it was and were unable to join the dots, or they had their suspicions but simply did not want to find out.He was on some dreadful 'reality' (as close as it get to the word for the super rich) TV show with his new improved shag and he looked might shifty - distracted, harassed and not too keen on being on camera. His ex-wide must be some sort of b

That maybe true but he didn't help himself by hiding his money, pleading poverty whilst still living a millionaire lifestyle and cutting his daughters off - forcing them out of public school into state school and from a life of luxury into a rented flat.h to be digging so hard for divorce settlement whilst (probably) knowing full well who he was in business with. A greedy, ruthless cow.Now actually those things will actually probably benefit them in the long run as it'll teach them the value of money and how the rest of us live, but from a Mother's perspective, these are the actions of a heartless, selfish Father and a Mother's instinct to fight for her kids no matter what.
Was she greedy? Yes. If she had settled for less money earlier on, she probably would have got something, but you can't even begin to understand the dynamics at work on this one, especially as it was her Dad that gave Scott his first leg up into the business world.

Kind of my point really. I'm not the only one to have made observations about her.foliedouce said:

Not really. It was clear she got in 'on the ground floor' before he made money, but then I've never really subscribed to the view that this necessarily precludes gold digging. I've witnessed staggering greed and ambition - there is more than one side to the old saw "behind every great man".IMHO he looked highly stressed and agitated. If I 'owed' the Russians and had an ex who wanted 'their' cash I was 'looking after', I'd be a bit distracted.
Divorcee Michelle Young to be sued over financing of bitter legal battle
She has become a figurehead for women who feel the courts have short-changed them in their attempts to win a fair divorce settlement from their wealthy husbands.
But now Michelle Young – who was embroiled in a lengthy court battle with her estranged husband Scott over what she claimed was his huge fortune – faces being sued for millions herself.
The 50-year-old mother of two could be taken to court by the same investors who funded her case against Mr Young, who was killed in a fall from his London penthouse in December last year.
In an astonishing twist to the long-running saga of Mrs Young’s divorce, her investors are demanding she pay back £11.2 million they claim she owes them and are this week set to send a ‘pre-action’ letter giving notice of their intention to sue.
Mrs Young denies the claims and says she will fight them in court.
The group, called TIFF, say that instead of using their funds exclusively to pay for the costs of her litigation against Mr Young, she appears to have used some of the money for what they described as her “champagne lifestyle”.
They say that she has repeatedly turned down the opportunity to take a divorce settlement of £26m awarded by the High Court from which she could have repaid her investors.
And instead of doing so they say Mrs Young has run up further costs pursuing the millions she claims her estranged husband squirrelled away in offshore trusts and accounts before his death.

Poor guy. It's no wonder his ex wife is so bitter - look what he traded her in for.
Actually – she looks awful. No dress sense (OK, that’s the both of them) and dodgy makeup. Worth a few hours undoubtedly, and a nice tum, but partner / live in lover? Nooooooo.
Popup add on the right for Goodwood as I’m looking at the page now – woman in grey – now she’s billionaire-classy standard . . . .

People are now 'investing' in other people's divorce cases? Bloody hell.First I heard of it was that French guy who is backed by Swiss banks he's now seeing over his pension scheme which promised he could invest in something after the shares went up and get the price before they went up or something.

The death of a Scottish property tycoon who fell from his London penthouse cannot be ruled as a suicide, a coroner has decided.
Dundee-born Scot Young, 52, died after falling onto railings at Montague Square, Marylebone, on 8 December 2014.
An inquest into his death heard he had been treated for bipolar disorder and drug abuse and was under "huge stress".
However, coroner Shirley Radcliffe said there was "inconclusive evidence to determine his state of mind".

Michelle Young has clocked up 65 court hearings and 13 sets of lawyers in her battle with her ex-husband. And 11 years on, she still hasn't given up. Michelle, aged 53, spent 18 years with Scot Young, a property tycoon who made his first millions in the 80s - but whose real fortune came from being a fixer to oligarchs and Britain's super rich. The couple had two daughters together. Both Scot and Michelle had humble beginnings - Scot grew up in a Dundee tenement block. The couple went on to have a lavish lifestyle together - country mansions, designer clothes, a different car for every day of the week. But the end came in a shocking phone call, when it was claimed that Scot had not only lost his entire fortune overnight in a big Russian property deal, but also had a breakdown - and was having an affair.
