Common sense would imply as much, but VT says, that's Number Wang! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The missing £2.5m... That's money laundering for you! Easy, he has ring fenced 74m of the 76.5m, the rest he is just going to use loose change he has lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Xia hasn't properly taken the hotseat yet, not until he passes the FL 'fit and proper test' so I'm not sure what you want at this stage? Does he need to tell you how much money he has in his current account? Definitely reads VT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, or £435,903,389.47 Didn't the article say that's only how much money he's put aside for Aston Villa? Half a billion is nothing to be sneezed at.

No it said that is how much he had sold one of his companies for and some of it would come our way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's also currently how much he has to use in this country. I'd assume that him knowing buying Villa was a real possibility he would make sure it was paid into a global account rather than into a Chinese one. That said a share of £400+ million is very tasty though before anyone tries to get negative and say "it's not as much as I thought we'd get", like I said this is likely usable funds that don't require bypassing Chinese laws there is likely more to come over the coming years if needed.

Jarpie Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Also I doubt rich people have their money on a single account, so that's not probably his only account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the single most pathetic post I've seen on VT for a long time. It's currently starred with approximately a dozen people 'liking' it. Maybe I need a break from the site for a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he believes other companies he has can go for "as much, or more". And as Jarpie mentioned, the chances of someone who has £400m having all of their money at one bank or in one account is unlikely. Cause for concern has definitely been decreased this past 24 hours!
