Talking of plastic, work out what he's done to himself since this one was taken in 2007.

Some sort of gypsy curse may have been involved?

Or a crystal meth addiction?

Maybe he stumbled upon the missing Brinks Mat gold that's supposedly still out there?

It always blows my mind that police don't go hard after dodgy show off types to send a message. Bilzarian and his Daddy's dirty money would be another good one. Absolute fking aholes the pair of em.

Perhaps the CPS don't recommend prosecution on the basis of 'dodgy', 'show off type' or 'fking ahole', but rather look at the chances of successful conviction based on actual evidence.

That's just a guess, though.

Larkin would not be amused by that... needs the comma. Illustrates how important punctuation is.


'They fk you up, your mum and dad.'

Of course the police tasked to gather the evidence are utterly beyond corruption...

Considering what has just happened to his brother, perhaps the security detail is more than just for show....?!

I think when Bernie Ecclestone said he didn't know where James gets his money from, what he meant was that he doesn't want to know where it comes from, that indeed being the nature of his business.

Mr. Stunt probably thinks he can keep a safe distance from his clients, but is more than a little nervous about them.

His security detail will be useless if he's got on the wrong side of hardened criminals.

Who'd have thought that Bradford would turn out to be the centre of gold bullion dealing in this country!!!

shock horror

[omgus]

I really don't think Bernie is worried if someones capital comes from a less than legit source.

I mean, it's not like there are any questions as to how Bernie initially made his money?

Property and funding high risk/ high reward investment activities i seem to believe?

[Deisel Weisel]

IIRC, motorcycle spares was Bernies first venture.

Security will deter casual people and make an impression but realistically they won't in any way stop somebody who has a vendetta.

James Stunts first ever ‘interview’ a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsCA2b6zSbw

That "interview" is very odd indeed.

Not just the lack of questions (or answers) but the lighting? What's that all about?

Yeah, we know that, but I am starting to get the impression that Stunt falls into the 'more money than sense' category.

[NomduJour]

Whilst he must have found a bit of cash from somewhere pre-marriage (being a flash sod with champagne in clubs etc.), I assumed it was the wife's cash via Bernie he was spanking - the silly back stories about shipping, wine, art and the rest are clearly just that. Surely not criminal mastermind material.

[g4ry13]

One thing for sure about James Stunt is he's not a billionaire and most likely far from it. It's all very much a front.

His 'security' is laughable too. People who are targeted don't tend to drive in convertibles and attract all that attention on purpose.
