Today I discovered my dad got caught up in an insider dealing investigation. He barely broke even and still got caught up for insider dealing.  He was cleared.

They probably thought that it would make the monarchy more relevant. Epic fail.  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk.

You might be surprised at how easy it is to fiddle the expenses or tax, if you know what you are doing. One thing is that if it is broadly within what could be expected then it can get through unseen. The hotel trip would be easy to put down as a reconnaissance trip, the clothes are much harder unless the used the same source for uniforms or clothing for the launch. You would be amazed at what people will try and get away with. I have seen people trying to slip wetsuits through as "protective clothing" even though they never needed a wet suit in the business. Sole traders and self employed are the worst at mixing private and business expenditure.

I can understand 'one-offs' and things that'll look right on paper, but there was absolutely no chance of getting away with continually charging your wedding expenses to the company. Especially Activision, the mafia of game publishing

As long as the bill said function it could have passed unnoticed. If the bill said wedding of X to Y, then it becomes much harder to slip through. The company will also notice one function if they have no product launches. Much harder it spot if there is one hotel bill among more than a dozen, with similar amounts spent. What you also need to remember is that PR is bull [LIFTED] through and through.

ION: the average BMI of an american xbox gamer has doubled since the introduction of a pizza app. MS say it's givig fans what they want. Doctors call for the Xbox to be banned. Microsoft fires the guy who came up with the idea.

Oh yes. So they have to wave their arms about to complete the order. There, they get some exercise, so bah humbug to all the moaning minnies who say that Xbox encourages laziness.
