Here’s a thought…

Let’s say a bank has given a large loan to a drug company - to the tune of tens or hundreds of millions of pounds. If said drug company went pear shaped through some scandal, that company may go out of business like TeGenero did.

The bank would have a vested interest in making sure their client with the large loan didn’t go out of business or it would lose a lot of money….big money.

Could this be the connection we’ve been looking for?

Thanks for suggesting this way to connect pharmaceuticals with Royal Bank of Scotland. I see you are saying that the one needing rescue could be the former, while the one willing to rescue him is the latter. Does AstraZeneca meet your criteria, or maybe it is an unrelated pharm firm? Extremely interesting.

Noseycow — the mathematics of connections is interesting , but we are talking about the quality of a relation, not the quantity. The quantitative kind is analyzed, though, by police. For example, they analyze the number of phone calls made from one person to others with certain connections, etc.

Val — you claim that Stevo and I are “fantasizing” and yet you provide no evidence for your claim that Mark Warner has a basis to sue because of supposed lost business at Ocean Club. How much business does Ocean Club do on average, and how has that changed? How much of the business is individuals on holiday and how much is packaged by tour agencies, and PR companies like Bell Pottinger? Indeed, exactly how many guests were there on May 2nd? You are just making a wild guess about diminished revenue resulting from the “abduction”, so why the repeated snide remarks directed at other posters? Show some facts.

It is a fact that real estate values have been affected by the “Madeleine McCann crisis” — or more accurately, by the artificially sustained daily publicity. What this means is that someone having “inside information” (either before the “abduction”, or before the sustained publicity following it) could know that property values would likely have downward pressure in Algarve, as its popularity decreases, while other places could be advertised as cheaper and safer. Also, it is clear that Team McCann/Clarence Mitchell/Brian Kennedy have the ability to manipulate markets through their media influence concerning the “abduction” story. Brian Kennedy (and whoever the Mystery Financier is behind him) are the insiders. Metodo3 is their agent, a method of making allegations about people and places.

For the Ocean Club resort, they like anyone else would have to make a response to this trend(downward pressure of property values), and they were better prepared than most if they knew what was coming. Remember that the co-owner’s (Symington’s) family is into real estate. So is Robert Murat. So is Brian Kennedy.

Sorry, Val, but it is more of a fantasy to imagine that these people are losing money as a result of the abduction scam and the eternal publicity blitz about paedophiles on pig farms. It’s much more realistic to assume that they were faced with the challenge of the “Madeleine McCann crisis” and that they did what they know how to do best — figured out every imaginable scheme to make money out of the situation, while protecting anyone in their circle from harm. jmho

Why did you cancel the baby sitter previously booked for (?) 6 p.m. [allegedly reported by MW staff - don't know source].

Why did you change your statement as to where cuddle dat was found ? And thus the reason for your immediate certainty that it could ONLY be an abduction ?

Why did you tell the neighbour who offered to phone the police that this had already been done, before it actually had been ? How much time did each of you spend physically searching for M ?

Were the cots between two beds or on either side of M’s bed ?

Why were you happy to fly to America when there had been a promising sighting, M could have been found and needed you badly?

Why did you employ high powered lawyers before you were made arguidos ?

Where did all of you have supper on the third and who else was there ?

This is a portuguese case not a british case.

____________
You now ,that the British police also worked with the P.J.
The problem ,is not the police
The problem ,is that Mr. G.B. ,wants them to be cleared at all cost (IMO) !!
