Armageddon Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Back in February 2022 the charity was blocked from appointing her as CEO with a £150k salary. They then proposed £85K salary for 3 days per week, this was also rejected, then a final agreement of £60k and a rolling 3 month contract with her holding the role for a maximum of 9 months. An inquiry was set up back in March 2021 due to the financial going's on. The family trademarked 'Captain Tom' and a company called Club Nook Ltd made £809k profit from it in it's first year. The £38M raised by Captain Tom isn't involved in this, but everything under The Captain Tom Foundation is, that's £1.4M (net) Now she's been ordered to demolish the building built, with a swimming pool, under the guise of 'Captain Tom Foundation Building' in the grounds of her £1.2M home. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-66100178 Isn't this all a bit smelly.

Mysterion Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 13 hours ago, Dusk_Till_Dawn said: She needs sent to jail There's enough to disqualify her from being involved with charities in a board/exec capacity as the information that has come out has shown it wasn't being operated for charitable purposes. Jail though - not sure there is. To be blunt, the family set out to create a legacy charity for their Dad then then the novelty of the time/commitment required became a full time voluntary job she's grabbed the opportunity to make a job from it full time. Everything after that was morally bankrupt but logically smart business moves. If she hadn't have been egotistical and pushed for the Charity CEO role/stepped back from the daily charity activities then she'd probably got away with it.
