James appears to be having some kind of mental breakdown on Instagram at the moment.

It's the same as TheAngryDog's readers cars thread, with this it's if JS has died and with that it's his M5!

He's not dead - he's only tweeting.

I'm sure Terry Adams will be pleased to see his name in papers again because of Stunt.

especially with the context

"Stunt, 38, who was once married to Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone, went on a bizarre tirade about 'completely farcical' money-laundering laws and said rumours he had been arrested were untrue."

" 'Certain people seem to be under the impression I was arrested – but no, the CPS couldn't catch a cold. Not arrested, OK? They made a rich man who has not been arrested go homeless. I have not been arrested for any crime. Can anyone explain how the money-laundering laws of this country are not completely farcical?' "

If JS is Terry Smith's godson it seems to suggest that either his mum or dad are closely connected to the aforementioned Mr Smith.

Why are they never mentioned in the papers?

Looking forward to seeing this on an episode of 'Can't pay, we'll take it away' soon. Paul Bohill will have a field day..."Mr Stunt, you need to get down to the Council office before it closes at 5pm and fill in the special billionaire's form for emergency rehousing"

Because there is nothing particularly 'interesting' about them? On the face of it at least

The father owned some successful printing companies that he sold back in the early 00's, that's all that is really known.

He is saying that the courts have frozen his assets and accounts, pending a money laundering investigation coming to a close.

Yes. I don't think there's any way, either legitimate or bent, that you can generate that kind of money without it being widely known for a fact that you've actually done it.

Underneath the eye-catching convoys of Rolls-Royces, there wasn't any real substance to the business, was there?

Correct. He has tried to create a back story via Tatler and Social Media that he made 'billions' trading in oil and Art. It isn't Billions and he didn't make st. The money in question is between 2-300M which he did have invested in various assets, wine, cars, some real art (a lot of fakes) and cash. The origin of which can not be explained. Anyone with a few brains can imagine where the money might have originated from. The allegation is he was laundering money from criminals. Have a look at Dirty Money on Netflix, there is a piece on how Gold is the new mechanism. Stunt had a Gold business at one point.

The old lifestyle was financed by his then wife. She has said as much and that is perfectly plausible.
