Re: Hanover Finance
And a shovel to bury the bodies
Actually, probably best I don't make jokes about that kind of thing.
Good luck with getting some of the money back.

Re: Hanover Finance
Easy on - these so called bonuses are dividends from historic profits, and were made while the company was apparently profitable. Its easy to get emotional and start painting these guys at fat cats, but in my reading of the press so far the only question raised has been about their recent advertising. If this thing does fall over then the two main shareholders will be losing more money than any debenture holder.

I don't think anyone would wish this on anyone else. Try not to get too stressed or you'll make yourself ill.

When I first started work in NZ in 2001 for a financial company the boss told me that NZ was "The Wild West of Investor protection". I took this warning to heart and bought property.

Re: Hanover Finance
I'm also very very sorry to hear of your misfortune. Having got my fill of grey hair I'm very sensitive to issues like this where a lifetimes effort can be swept away so easily. I'm presuming NZ does not have any form of financial scheme in place to cover deposited funds ? Well I'm sure that must be the case as you would have looked into this by now for sure.
One thing and please understand this is not criticism. For others take this as a warning never ever concentrate your capital in one institution when the risk is not covered and indeed even when it is.
I hope you at least get some form of payout. Life can be a bitch.

There is every likelihood that they may actually gain massive amounts from the situation due to their fingers/ownership in a number of companies that Hanover has loaned to. Probable that at the end of the day the loans will be sold off to the borrowers at a reduced amount. At the moment these scum are saying ambiguous bits and pieces about ensuring the lenders do not lose out etc.. This often happens to deflect flak but in the end prove worthless, unfounded and not carried through
You also say
'Lets lynch them here and now then.'
I say Yes.
Would not the world be a far better place if there was a sort of 'star chamber' vigilante justice done?
Send out death squads to kill people who are corrupt, who do evil against others, people like Mugabe, the military leaders in Myanmar and many others. I would suggest, despite the odd mistake, that the world would be a far better place if people knew they and their families may suffer real consequences for their actions. The reason there are so many people causing so much crap in the world is due to the likelihood of little redress or consequences.
People often say ' the end justifies the means' as being dangerous and not correct etc.. I say not true.
I am convinced that executing a whole raft of the worlds scum would benefit the world a lot more than the disadvantages.
