Although i'm pretty sure you would have got wind of FP via other means. The real kicker is my dad went ahead and invested in them anyway, and not only that, he kept holding out hope that he'd profit because the company was "just about to be launched on the London Stock Exchange" regardless of the other lies and non-eventualities, and through each successive revelation of conman-dodgy-ness in the press. I'd like to hope he's learned his lesson. I really would. I hope you are charging those lazy journalists ridiculous Subject Matter Expert fees ;) I also really hope Tim Johnston et. al. eventually get a painful dose of natural justice, while observing that there will always be con men and it's the individual's responsibility to wisely avoid them, <i>caveat emptor</i> style.

After all, they are (were) sportspeople; you don’t expect them to be experts in business investment."</i> But you certainly do expect them to hire business experts before embarking on something like the FP deal. It's basic common sense, for Pete's sake. "Despite the fact that I despise basketball, I do actually feel a bit sorry for the Sydney Kings.

That, and the fact that you're above the fold for google results on various permutations of "firepower scam", "firepower scammers", and most beautifully, #1 for "firepower pill".
