WINSTONS MATES MATES - MORE CREEPS

More information about the crowd that Winstons legal henchmen hang around with.

This is from Kiwiblogs analysis of the Susan Couch Trust

which includes this

The settlor is Kevin Gillespie, an Auckland Accountant. Gillespie,
Henry and Gates are all
Directors of Goldman Henry Capital Management and in business
together. They
had some problems with the Securities Commission in 2004
incidentally, after the Commission found their prospectus did not comply with
securities law and omitted a material particular. The investment statement was
also found “likely to deceive, mislead, or confuse with regard to particulars
that are material to the offer of securities”.


We here at Roar prawn have uncovered a bit more to add to Kiwiblog working out that these boys did have some problems here in NZ - Mr Goldman has had a bit of bother on the other side of the Tasman as well .

This from the Australian Securities and investment Commission website
