Rich Energy drop Haas. No...Really. Seriously...

Their website is complete b
ks anyway, doesn't have any information about it's staff. People in the legal business always like having their senior staff bio and photos on the webpages, it's to try and make them seem more human, there's no company bio, it's also displaying terms and conditions. No doubt started up (copied from other websites) by Storey or one of his friends and this whole charade is being played out to avoid paying what they owe to all parties.
They are trying to cover their eastern european money laundering scam up with as many new obscure obstacles as possible so that the money trail cannot be followed. Or so they think. Allegedly.

Stupid question but I can't find BDG Group on Companies House
Oddly they may not be a limited company in themselves or could be under an entirely different name, as the apparent proprietor/head honcho looks to just parachute himself into the directors chairs of the company he 'takes over' and then works it all out from within:https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/fDapTD...
Note BDG are unlicensed and proud of it. Not sure what that means, but would you want an unlicensed heart surgeon or pilot in charge of your life, at the very hour you really need help?

True, the thought had crossed my mind. Considering there is a virtual office address company at the address on their website, maybe it's a one man band run from his home but with a fancy rented mailbox in London ....https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/fDapTD...

It would fit with the whole modus operandi of the key players in this unfolding drama. Nothing in writing, nothing in filing cabinets. Anyway tomorrow could be a big day in at least one courtroom if not two.Lawyers getting Rich eh?

It's strange how Guenther Steiner seems to escape criticism in this whole farce.
Driver behaviour and performance not good.
Car performance all over the place.
Sponsor relations terrible.
Is it because it's funny when he swears on the telly? And isn't a woman?
Does he negotiate sponsor relations? Or is that done by Gene Haas and team?Driver behaviour and performance not good.

I think he is getting gyp over the above 2 points. But that's not really what this thread or discussion is about. I've certainly been a bit dissappointed about Haas' performance this year.Car performance all over the place.

They're not a "normal" racing team so it doesn't really matter. Most teams rely on sponsorship to get from the start through the end of the season. Haas is different in that they don't need the money and have the budget to run the whole season without a title sponsor...because Haas (engineering company) is the title sponsor. That is what I believe allowed them to take a punt on the joker in the pack that Rich Energy were before the season kicked off.I also suspect it wasn't Gunther's decision to take them on - I expect Gene Haas had the final call on the title sponsor position.
My guess is that they viewed it as having a budget of around £100 million for the year that they were underwriting. If they get £35 million (or whatever the number is) from Rich Energy as title sponsor then Gene doesn't have to dip into his pocket for quite so much money and yet still gets the same budget. If it all goes to pot, there's no loss.
From a PR point of view, it's more column inches being written featuring 'Haas' which can't be bad.
Remember Americans have a different view to negative press than English!

I'm assuming the last line is a gag rather than serious commentary. Lawyers getting Rich eh?

It could of course be that BDG is a trading name of some kind of limited liability vehicle - but that ought to be disclosed.
I'm not convinced their website is GDPR compliant.

So it does sound like the act of an idiot. Reminds me of Lord Harley.

They would say that, wouldn’t they? ''However, only licensed insolvency practitioners are legally able to take insolvency appointments and manage corporate insolvency procedures from beginning to end.

You don’t need an insolvency practitioner to write to creditors, explain there’s no money, that trading has ceased, and that you’re going to transparently wind things down and pay what you can rather than give it all to the IPs. Followed no doubt by an application to strike off. In many cases that will be all that is needed, done dispassionately and professionally.
