I know where there are some for sale!!!

He has finished the Norton name for good in my opinion. Who in the UK would go near anything with that name on now?

It'll resurface again, sooner or later. More likely on this side of The Atlantic than yours.

Dont worry - a daft American with more money than sense will buy it and ruin it further i imagine

I suspect someone in India has either bought it already or at least thinks they have bought it.

He wasnt daft - cunning is more accurate.

But yes it was a bit cutting.

Well balanced article i think. Its all so very wrong. He needs to spend time in prison if its all true imo.

I just don’t understand how someone can live a life of luxury using other peoples money without their consent.

I suspect the Government funding may be his undoing though as they hate being duped.

Lack of conscience, ethics, etc.

Just a common thief.

...... and an utter ****!

Part two of this has been published. Poor guy.

Surely the police have to be involved.

Forging signatures is fraud and in view of the sums of money involved it has to be investigated. He isn't the first person to allege this type of wrongdoing.

What a charlatan.

BDO estimate they debts of the Company are circa £28 million

There was a plan at work here to defraud surely? I suppose the covid mess has diverted press and attention from this story.

The biggest shame is just how few bikes they produced and how much BS was believed.

If he isn't banned from ever running a company again then the powers that be need to hang their heads in shame.

I would be astonished if the Serious Fraud Office are not taking an interest though.

BDO have announced this evening that the assets of Norton have been bought by TVS an Indian motorcycle company..
