Why would he have a diplomatic passport?

One for visiting Israel and the other for visiting countries in the Middle East that hate Israel?

(Didn't Top Gear have to do similar on the Bethlehem road trip?)

Don't you just have 2 normal passports?

[FourWheelDrift]

Probably just what he calls it.

No aUK diplomatic passport. You can buy diplomatic passports from many countries.

Yup. That's what the rest of us do for business travel. You just need a valid, documented reason to need an extra one. It's nothing special.

This bloke is a fantasist and is also a throbber of the highest order.

“ In addition, Stunt kept six solid bars of gold in the safe at all times, as he "doesn't trust" banks.

"I always wanted to keep that amount in case the apocalypse happened," he added”

Did he end up selling that suspect painting?

Which one? I thought the whole collection was suspect.

"I bought diamonds. Some of them were gifted to me, I won't say by who in court but it was a deceased member of the royal family," he added."

Yeahh thought so, my friend is a retired protection officer, upon finding out he had 2 passports I asked him why and he said a similar thing about certain counties don't like you going to them if you've been somewhere they they have beef with, if it's in your passport you've been there then it causes hassle, he just had to remember to use the correct one.

What a massive fall from the vulgar flash life he led. No sympathy whatsoever.

[Gecko1978]

All this is telling me is despite his divorce, his seemingly bankrupt business, court orders left and right Mr Stunt is still leading a life many would dream of. Did he arrive in court in a hired S class because even if he did where did the cash come from to pay for it. He basically shows once your rich the rules just don't apply. I very much doubt the higher taxes coming from our chancellor will affect the likes of Mr Stunt....in it together I think not.

A fall from the vulgar flash life he led to the vulgar flash life he still leads? I'm not sure it was that massive....

[SpeckledJim]

I do hope we eventually find out what's actually been going on, in proper detail.

I'm sure it's a fascinating story.

I'd be wondering if invoices are being paid - you can give a decent appearance of keeping up a flash lifestyle for quite a while before the bills finally catch up.

Reality is that he's probably under a fair amount of scrutiny and has less wiggle room than some of his other associates are managing. Maybe because they pretend to be skint and he pretends not to be.

It'd be interesting to hear how his legal woes are going but it looks like that isn't a topic for discussion.

He has a lot of legal woes but I am fairly sure when it all ends he will still be a lot better off than me and most people (i don't actually care that he is). What it shows is if you play by the rules then the rules apply soon as you get rich rhe rules are for the little people and lets be honest he is not as rich as he claims or even that influencual but yet the state is not going to be making him pay full tax or going after him in a big way. It seems he has basically been a money launderer and has got away with it an got to shag some hotties along the way

I'm sure the use of the phrase "giant gash" in that article is purely unintentional...
