Famous, via a Receiver's Report.

[caziques]

A very long story is drawing to some sort of conclusion on 17th March. I should write a book about, but I suspect most people would think it a work of fiction.

Very briefly, I sold an item of equipment (rollforming machine that makes steel framing for houses) for 30,000 pounds. The purchaser, who turned out to be a bent solicitor, didn't pay, so I repossessed it.

One of his ploys was putting the company into Receivership, and one of the receiver's reports says:

"A complicating factor has been the removal of property (ie the rollformer) and computer equipment by a Mr Fred Caziques of Anytown. Proceedings against Mr Caziques have been filed with the District Court for conversion (amongst other matters)."

(Conversion being "civil theft" rather than "criminal theft")

There you have it, am I famous or infamous?

At the very least proceedings are going to be struck out on the 17th, and the bent solicitor is in front of the Law Society that week as well - with any luck he will be struck off.

(His actual crime was writing his own "repossession" notice, and stealing the rollformer back from me - he hasn't paid for it and has no rights to it).

You reposessed it and he stole it back?
