Where it going ? At a guess they'll charge a handfull of the ringleaders sometime in the near future with allsorts of charges hoping some will stick or lose there nerve but having been close to the forensic investigation it was nothing short of a total disaster with the poor judgement displayed by my peers.

this thread is bouncing around finsbury square and most people see this as no surprise and are chuckling. Kevin love him or loath him will never change and if hes up against awkward, intelligent or well advised opposition then he will stand his ground stubbornly and frequently incorrectly and make such a mess of things to his and his employers detriment who usually end up brushing it under the bed.

However dear old kevins previous employers had enough of changing the duvet hence his departure from a 10 year partnership position.

I see people are getting wise to Mr Mawer. He did however manage to pull the wool over Grant Thorntons eyes for nigh on 10 years until he 'moved to pastures new'

Without question the most self obsessed delusional character I have had the misfortune to come across in the industry, appears he's made the same impression at his new abode

GT maybe old news but we never got the full story - what was too risque - that some at GT must know? About current cases, names of directors, link with Oddie etc there will be information in reports to creditors etc and some public files but these wont go into all the detail so best information will be from those in the firms.

You mention HR reports - who is going to provide this info?
My main thoughts are to encourage people to open up. A lot of posts suggest people know more.
On fact-finding - quite a number are affected so you might want to get get company insolvency reports - these will give basic details including fees - although directors and their lawyers, should have these. They may not be that innocent themselves (see press on morris and this blog on Wilmetts) but they are entitled to be treated correctly and not bullied so if only some of the allegations are true, Mawer has to answer to them.

Also Mitchell C may want to distance themselves? Just speculation. Is it worth contacting them? Afraid I dont have any direct info.
My interest is more general - was at GT years before all this happenned - and in in audit. So particularly interested in GT stuff as well as later stuff by an ex partner. Concerned if staff have been infected but i gather the good guys are ok. Those I knew dont know what was too risque - was it personal as well as professional?

Bridge Recovery collapse over allegations of missing £2.55m of client funds. All Partners were in on the Scam and shared the spoils however James Bradney took the hit and the rest of the partners join other firms.

Just for the record, from July 11 2011 and from post 611 onwards, there have been a total of 95 posts REMOVED concerning Kev. Of course just because they are ‘no longer’ visible, doesn’t negate the fact they existed, and can be recalled.

If his old form are responsible for having them removed, it in no way means that they are protecting Kev; merely THEIR brand, as has already been stated in another post.

Highly entertaining piece in Insolvency News, headed 'KPMG director in shock move to Begbies'. Obviously this is Mawer's "promotion"...from one of the Big Four to well, er, not one of the Big Four. What is even more comical, the piece talks about a spokeseperson for KPMG saying that "there was no current evidence of any wrongdoing". No "current" evidence? How often does a change of job come with such glowing caveats in your trade journal? Talk about moves that "surprised many in the profession" and reference to wrongdoing. Methinks the KPMG doth protest just a tad too much.

Yes, Strange, I have noticed that! Are they going to remove my post just now which is simply a commentary on a piece which has appeared in a national magazine? It is clearly a problem for KPMG, having to censor the media in this way. What is extraordinary is that they themselves bring up the question of "wrongdoing" and say there is no "current evidence" of it. That is an enigmatic statement to say the least of it. You just do not say something like that, for example, when someone goes to work at another firm.

Will post full piece tomorrow, but there is something rather odd - it appears in there but nowhere else. That magazine would have been printed a couple of days ago. It therefore must have been put about in the public domain by then, but there is nothing on the Begbies site and no release and no other mention anywhere (I may have missed it). I can't believe someone has made it up, but if they have, it is because of embarrassment and the need to provide cover for him, or for KPMG. This type of thing is not as uncommon as you think. But I think I might be letting conspiracy theory run away with me really.

I have called Begbies office in the city where I was told by a friend who works at KPMG Leeds that Mawer was supposed to have gone 9not Leeds). They said "never heard of him" and "certainly does not work here". They then very kindly checked to see whether he had a line in any of the other Begbies offices. After a search, I was told 'No'. i am going to see if I can find the source of that piece in Insolvency News

But it is odd, isn't it? No-one at Begbies will say that Mawer is there. And they are denying that he is there really. Are they hiding him? If so where? Under that sheep no doubt.

PSA, my experience is that large firms try to bury such problems. The simplest way of dealing with a rogue employee is to carefully distance yourself and gradually disentangle. You make the mistake of talking just about "criminal" matters. More important is the matter of failures. It appears that Mawer has been involved in a few of those recently, where his actions and failures have cost the firm a lot for no returnj. The gents will put yup with naughty behaviour from yobboes or oiks if they drag in the money, but they will pitch them overboard if they fail.

I'm still finding it difficult to get my head around that story about him moving to Begbies when they are denying it if you call. Has he had a reason recently to want to pretend that he has a new job? A court case or an interview where he wanted to protect his reputation? I'm not saying what I am surmising is true, but I say again. Why are Begbies denying it? It may be just a ###-up - someone not telling someone else that he is there somewhere.

Threads move on. Just because you want them to fix on one thing that they started with, you can't expect everyone else will. That is the unintended consequence of the internet. If you don't like it, the best thing is to set up another one about the matter you want to discuss.

No one will confirm Mawer is at Begbies, because he probably isn't. Doubtful whether he's going there any time soon either.

In regard to the elusive 'article' in Insolvency News, has anyone laid eyes on it? In fact, is there any evidential proof it exists?

Mawer stopped working at his old firm in June although he is still working on his/their existing cases. There has also been updated notices very recently, regarding his ongoing work in the London Gazette.

Is he doing any 'new' work at all, or is he taking a well deserved sabbatical (irony), from all his skulduggery, before his gardening leaves expires!

You gotta admit, his kinda work, takes a great deal of effort.

Authentic news only please.

Sorry Phone Hacking, will scan that piece and e-mail you later. Here, though, is the text.

"News in brief...

KPMG director in shock move to Begbies

Kevin Mawer has resigned his position as a director of KPMG to join insolvency and restructuring practice Begbies Traynor.

In a move that surprised many in the profession, KPMG confirmed his resignation, telling Insolvency Today that Mawer had been placed on gardening leave until the end of September. His resignation follows allegations made by local press in Yorkshire that Mawer had been dismissed from the firm, but a spokesperson for KPMG said there was no current evidence of wrongdoing.

Mawer was directorm of KPMG's forensic restructuring group and served the firm for four years. He was at Grant Thornton before KPMG."

I have tonight e-mailed news@insolvencynews.com, where this appears, to ask if the yhave had it confirmed. As you will see, the story itself quotes the source as Insolvency Today.

Interestingly, I have just spoken to a friend at KPMG who tells me that Mawer was in court today in London and on the list of things for discussion was the fact that Mawer tried to force a director to break the law and actually sign documents for a company after it had gone into liquidation. Also, it appears that under the itrems listed for discussion was the fact that Mawer was responsible for staggering ineptitude over not spotting huge sums of money in the bank account he was trying to sue the Director for. I am trying to get more details. But this happened today.

I have now learned that it appears that Mawer failed to spot almost a million pounds in the bank account of this company and tried to claim it off the Director in misfeasance. He said it was 'diverted and had never reached the bank account' Red faces all round in Court. As a result he has had to withdraw his claim. Difficult to believe this, but he actually applied to Court about this. This must be one of the reasons he left KPMG.

I am trying to get the documents submitted to Court as I am told there is a lot more.

I have just heard another thing. It seems he asked the Director to sign documents on behalf of the limited company AFTER it had been wound up by the Court. The submission to Court makes this quite clear. This of course would be an illegal act if the Director had done it. More red faces in Court.

...sorry the last one was a repeat. I meant to say that Mawer claimed in a court document that the director had used words that he never did and was forced to withdraw them. He initially said that the director was resorting to "semantics" but he was heavily criticised for putting words in the mouth of his victims and then refusng to identify where those words were spoken or written. My friend at KPMG says that there are some seriously embarrassing things that will come out of this about KPMG and this is why they have employed QCs (yes QCs) to protect themselves from this director! My enemy's enemy is my friend.

There is another interesting point. Apparently the QC actually appeared at the Case Management Conference for KPMG. A QC! Do you know how much they cost per day? The Court officers said that they had never seen one at a CMC before. All very honoured. And this of ocurse is because Mawer has so dropped them all in it and all of a huge claim has been scuppered that they have to find a way of rescuing it.

It is interesting that just as the facts start to come out, Mawer's chums and family are writing all this rubbish on the site. You can be sure that puerile drivel used by others is a diversionary tactic. They know that Mawer has been rumbled and this case appoears to be the one that's doing it.

Rather than reply with drivel they could at least actually tell us what they know and what THEY think happened.

Another matter which was raised yesterday was the fact that Mawer suppressed evidence in one of the claims he has now abandoned in that case. He made false statements in a court document that he effectively had not been told why monies were paid, when it has now been revealed that he did know why those monies had been paid. This was when he was trying to frame the director on charges of paying money to a company 'for no consideration'.

Interesting when people with different names make postings without providing detail and all come from the same IP address (you can work that out quite easily).

Another interesting fact from yesterday's hearing for those who keep posting and are obviously therefore interested in learning mawer, is that Mawer was also criticised for putting words into the mouth of his intended victim. Mawer tried to claim that his victim had "stated" that a payment was "repayment of a loan" while Mawer's assistant had all the information making clear what it really was. And of course the hapless Mawer could not identify anywhere where his intended victim stated the payment was a loan. It would have been a barmy statement for even a financial illiterate to make.

Apparently, all of the documents are going to be available next week, or in the next fortnight at the latest. Those who are obviously now aware that these details of the court hearing are exposing Mawer for what he truly is will of course continue to try and divert attention. However, their postings prove that the facts of an inconvenient court case, and issued raised, are hitting a raw nerve among those who have to support him and try to belittle what has been happening in the past 24 hours. Maybe this is what KPMG meant when they said that there "was no current evidence of wrongdoing".

It seems that a certain person is getting very busy making childish remarks on this site to deflect the attention away from a loved one.

This blog was created for those interested in the outcome of Willmetts solicitors and had more recently evolved into discussions about a Mr Kevin Roy Mawer leaving KPMG.

It has become a very useful site for people interested about both of these matters.

Some of these people are elderly, vulnerable and scared. The kind of posts issued by one young man from Edgbaston could quite clearly become upsetting for these individuals. Many of whom may or may not be victims or suffering from the behaviour of others.

In answer to Kevin Mawer's family post, I understand you are aggrieved, but of course you yourself ask peoppe to disclose who they are, but do not do so yourself! Man up, as thjey say... I am talking about a court case in which Mawer has had to withdraw a colossal claim against a director. This is on record, of coruse, and I intend to make information available about it in detail when I have it.

I have told you already in a calm, measured and collected way that there are a number of matters which were raised at the case yesterday which are on record and deeply damning of Mawer. Your response is to talk about poo. Man up, as they say, and address the court case. You may wish to live in a Libya or North Korea where it is criminal to criticise KPMG or a state appointee acting like a thug. Although there are problems in the UK, mercifully you cannot yet stop us revealing the details of the court case and anything which shows Mawer in a bad light. Or do you think you can suppress us by throwing around comments about opponents of Mawer as being 'criminal'. In fact what Mawer has done really should be criminal.

Obviously I forgot to add, Reality Check, that you are obviously addressing your last paragraph to yourself as well?

As Clinical Pharmacology said, there are a lot of vulnerable, elderly people out there who have been attacked nastily by this man. It is the nature of the world that he inhabits. That is his choice. But he has been discovered and his sins are coming home to haunt him, and I am afraid that that goes with the territory. Sorry, Reality Check. I know you are close to him personally, but there it is. The answer is probably not to read the posts. Difficult I know, but better than ranting on this site from a 'Birmingham' or 'UK' address (the same) about poo etc.

ANONYMITY:
You are claiming that a number of your haters on this forum are clinging “to anonymity”.

But insofar as the postings from two of your victims are concerned - the married couple: they seem obvious, and given their style and attention to detail, there has never been any attempt to disguise their identity. Would it really make you feel better if they ‘came-out’, by disclosing their names on this forum? They could, and at any time also produce evidence of your fabricated claims against them: this includes the FORGED computer disc you claim belonged to the wife. In addition to the covert tape recordings they made (of your attempts to coerce others against them), they still have the letters – in your own hand - where you both state - and later retract - your fabricated charges.

In a ‘criminal’ case you would pay the penalty for such corrupt behavior.

I think what most people don’t realise about ‘civil’ cases, is that unlike ‘criminal’ cases – where there is a greater burden of proof – it is much easier to manipulate the legal system. The wife recalls only too vividly, during one meeting with a solicitor, whereupon he told her that; the sooner she got to grips with the ‘civil’ justice system, the better off she’d be. It was an excruciating lesson, as she always believed that the outcome of any legal proceedings was based on “truth trumping untruth”. Another statement that is etched in her mind is the one that your solicitor once wrote in an email to her husband, after a court appearance, whereupon he snorted, “you know nothing about the due process of law”.

So you see when you boast of your “successes” against your haters in court, it in no way, indicative of the truth; just [your], and your cronies’ distortion and due process of ‘civil’ law.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES:
As for your skit that your haters are involved in ‘conspiracy’ theories, the truth is sadly far-fetched enough, without them having to resort to fabricating claims against you.

In reference to your hater’s belief that you are somehow ‘controlling’ or ‘corrupting’ the Police, Judges and others: don’t flatter yourself. You’re not that smart. It’s true you are the one with the well thought out strategies, and again, what most people won’t realise is, that whilst stalking your prey, all your legal representatives’ services are all being billed to YOUR victims. If you eventually fail in any of your pursuits, the legal fees incurred (but which cannot be recovered), then miraculously find their way to the file marked ‘contingency basis’.

You can’t fail to win, in one form or another.

What the uninitiated won’t be able to fathom, is that, by the time any of your legal proceedings have made it to a Trial – way down the line after a long line of Case Management Conferences and Defendants Hearings – your victims will be so financially exhausted, that they have no choice but to legally represent THEMSELVES: against you and your very experienced lawyers and barristers. This places your opponents not only at a distinct disadvantage, but a far-reaching one. Because even though the presiding 'civil’ Judge may know exactly what you – the Plaintiff – is doing, unless the Defendant speaks in the precise legalese, the Judge will NOT prevent YOU, and your legal representatives from manipulating the system. In basic terms, it’s nothing more than a sham.

CONTINGENCY CASES:
As far as your haters are aware, you have never been a Plaintiff in a CRIMINAL case. Whilst you’re no Rupert Penry-Jones’ character in Silks, presumably this is because by the time you’ve worn your opponent’s down, you end up transacting an OUT of COURT SETTLEMENT with them: to stop the CIVIL proceedings continuing. Because, as all your haters have come to realise, as long as your legal pursuit remains ‘civil’ you can continue, unencumbered.

This is why you often purport take a case on a ‘contingency’ basis: you’re covering all [your] bases depending on proceedings along the way.

Although, you ruined the married couple – as you vowed – and although they have lost EVERYTHING, you did not achieve a penny in any settlement against them. Your persecution has been a devastating price to pay nonetheless, but they hope it gives others hope that you don’t always get EVERYTHING you want. Insofar as they are concerned, although undoubtedly you will always take immense satisfaction in what you achieved, morally your victory against them was a pyrrhic one. Plus you are no longer working under the banner of KPMG.

KPMG:
In the interests of impartiality, it needs to be said that of course insolvency practitioners encounter corrupt individuals during their travels, but sometimes, a company failing is the result of a number of factors; which do not involve any illegal wrongdoings. The problem is with you, Kevin, is that you go about your nefarious business with a joie de vivre that is worryingly perverse. You enjoy the chase, AS WELL as the kill.

None of your haters know how you started out, but it’s safe to say that somewhere along the way, your moral compass has gone awry.

As for your former employers, there aren’t protecting you, or even backing you, there are engaging in a damage limitation exercise. The powers that be at KPMG weren’t aware of all you were doing; after all, why would they need to babysit a 51 year old director of their Company?

HEAD-HUNTED:
Oh, and as for your boast about your employment history: you really are delusional. You may have been head-hunted – from Grant Thornton – by KPMG, but do you really expect any of us to believe that you were ‘head-hunted’ by a new firm, whilst you were STILL AT KPMG! You probably weren’t ‘fired’– and mores’ the pity - but the more likely scenario, is that you were asked to resign, BEFORE you were sacked, which then resulted in your three months ‘gardening leave’. If you have managed to secure new employment in the interim, it’s been whilst you’ve been cleaning-up your own back yard, and certainly nothing to do with your self claimed prophecy of being an; “insolvency practitioner with INTEGRITY”!

Working for KPMG was the best thing that ever happened to you, and whatever you manage to do [professionally] in the future, you will ALWAYS have the ignominy of being a failed, FORMER director of KPMG. That can’t be good, in anyone’s book.

As for being headhunted by KPMG this is again a figment of Kevins imagination

Kevin was asked to resign after 9 years of service at GT where he then took a demotion from partner in a big firm earning good money to a lesser position as a director in another smaller firm, earning consequently less money.

If you want to question this about Kevin, just pick the phone up to Malcolm Shierson or David Dunckley senior partners at Grant Thornton, these 2 were instrumental in ensuring Kevin was "headhunted" or should I say asked to leave Grant Thornton in 2007.

Them man is a liability, plain and simple and it appears he has made a few enemies on his travels who are now joining forces to ensure this creature does not in fact practice again, any employer needs to be aware they are taking on a ticking time bomb if they employ Kevin Roy Mawer as he has manage to seriously upset a few smart and collective enemies on his travels.

VictimsofMawer makes some very good points, and particularly when talking about how Mawer drives people into the position of spending large sums on legal fees, weakening them and in the end they have to repersent themsleves, which is almost impossible as the system is against those who do this. I understand that the case I have referred to has led to that victim representing himself. According to my contact at KPMG, there was the farcical situation in Court of him alone opposing a QC (a QC for heaven's sake!), 3 lawyers, 2 KPMG people, and Mawer all there.

In those circumstances, people like Mawer hope that they can put together a rubbish case, be economical with the truth and hope that they can strong arm the victims into coughing up some money to get him off their backs.

In this case, of course, the opponent dared to oppose and managed to get ALL of the claim withdrawn in circumstances of great embarrassment to Mawer and KPMG.

One thing you should always remember about firms like KPMG. They may pose as gents and all very proper, but they employ bullies and thugs behind the facade in the hope that they can raise money. And they often do.
But when it begins to go wrong and the thugs are uncovered, it becomes embarrassing, firms like KPMG chuck out the failed bully boy without a thought. They often find a face saver for a period. Sometimes they even arrange for them to work somewhere else, as they have great power to lean on people to make sure that nothing looks wrong. Remember, KPMG does not want it to look like Mawer has failed so they will happily pay vast amounts of money to protect their brand.
This is all about money and reputation.
I have seen this happen in very large firms in other areas of the economy.
It may well be that we and others can expand this and create another site about it. This would drill down into the reasons why people like Mawer and tfirms like KPNG are pushing the boiundaries and trying to break limited liability as much as possible. It is a lot easier to do this in civil matters using a vast and mildly corrupt network of lawyers and state officials to break people in two.

MawerMawerMawer:
I have read your posts with interest and my understanding is that, you know of another victim of Kevin Mawer who appeared at a Case Management Conference (CMC) last Thursday.

In one of your postings, you write of a ‘farcical’ situation whereby the Defendant was met by an opposition of:-

Kevin Mawer
2 KPMG People
3 Lawyers
Plus a ‘QC’!

Is my interpretation correct; in that a’QC’ actually appeared at the CMC?

This is surely unheard of, and in regard to the man and wife (Defendants) who Kevin Mawer persecuted, they confirm that during all of their CMC’s at Leeds Chancery - when they were Defendants - the Applicant (Liquidator) never appeared: not even once. The ONLY person acting on behalf of the Applicant and present, was their solicitor.

Questions:

1. Is Kevin Mawer the Applicant?
2. Was the Defendant legally represented?
3. Given there were 7 people representing the Applicant (this is difficult to comprehend)– including a QC – what happened in regard to a costs Order?
4. Are you aware of the total legal costs for Mawer’s legal representation?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Victims of Mawer, I'll answer what I know - I will have more details next week. Yes, Mawer was the Applicant and his QC confirmed that the original claim had been completely withdrawn and a new much smaller one instituted for different things. The defendant told the Court he had no money but was hoping to achieve legal represntation and had taken some advice (from what my contact at KPMG thought was quite a serious firm) the previous day.

On costs I think (I think) that the defendant was awarded costs because of the withdrawal of all the claims by Mawer. This could clock up quite a bill because he apparently told the Court he was claiming them on the basis of losses (ie to a higher level than the usual litigant in person rate). This was new to me and I had never heard of it. if you have had to give up earning or suffered loss, the nyou can claim at ther eate you were earning for your costs if you are attacked by someone like Mawer who then withdraws everything.

And yes, VictimsofMawer, a very expensive QC was actually engaged by KPMG for the CMC. According to my source, this was unknown and a sign of how seriously they regard the matter, the need to protect their reputation from damage on one side (Mawer) and attacks from the defendant on the other side.

The total costs for the day would HAVE to get into the tens of thousands with all that army there to attack the guy from a defensive position.

MawerMawerMawer:
Although as yet there are only tentative details to the case you refer to, is it really within Kevin Mawer’s capabilities that he was forced to withdraw an entire claim against a Defendant, but then managed to amend the claim, for a smaller amount, but concerning ‘different things’, which were not mentioned in the body of the initial claim?

This sounds like utter madness. Even by Kevin Mawer’s criterion.

I am sure that all Kevin Mawer haters are eager to learn, exactly why a QC and 5 others were deployed to represent Kevin Mawer in his role as the Applicant at a CMC?

Whatever the charge, the unrepresented Defendant was at a distinct disadvantage. However, if the Defendant was ‘awarded costs’– for the withdrawal of Kevin Mawer’s initial claim - who exactly is funding the costs of the Applicant’s 3 lawyers and QC? Mores’ the point, why?

Victims of Mawer, it looks like KPMG are on the back foot with this case.

The defendant probably is not a bankrupt and of good social standing. Mawer will have no doubt taken a huge leap of faith in the assumption he has made regarding potential liabilities and wrong doings that he was assuming in his initial claim that the defendant to have undertaken. When it has come to light that the defendant is likely to defend the previous claim successfully the predicted backlash for KPMG will have been too horrific to contemplate.

KPMG have spent upwards of £20, 000 in internal management costs and disbursements (QC) just for a CMC. They have also kept Mawer on gardening leave just to drag him down to London especially for this case.

This has been done for 2 reasons. Firstly, to portray strength to the defendant so he can clearly see that there will be a strong pursuit of the revised claim, which, in theory, should help them when they propose a pre-trial settlement to the defendant. Secondly, they could not afford any risk whatsoever in allowing this claim to be struck out altogether. This would give the impetus for the defendant to destroy them publicly for what has happened and believe me when I say he could. He has all the right connections and background not only to get his version of the story to print but his profile is suitable to raise enough attention nationally.

There is more to this situation and I am intrigued. Mawer and his family are clearly making posts on this site which tells me that things are not so good. If Mawer was confident in his reasons for leaving KPMG and in the status of his new employment then he could put these comments down to problems with director/bankrupts who were disgruntle with him in what he would pitch as a hard line approach to dealing with recovery of assets for the creditors. Something tells me he can't. He either has more to worry about in relation to the reasons he has left KPMG under what seems an ominous cloud or how any potential employer will view the publicity and attention that he currently receives for his conduct or may indeed continue to receive into the future. I think there is more to come here.

Yes, VictimsofMawer, it seems fantastic but you can actually dump a whole claim and bring in a completely new one in the guise of an amendment, and this appears to have been what happened. What I was told was that the director in question completely destroyed every aspect of Mawer's claim so they had to spend a fortune inventing a completely new one.

They have done this apparently for serious reasons which I don't understand. They must be serious reasons for KPMG to pay a QC, top city lawyers and a vast phalanx of workers on the matter. It can only be that the director has struck a nerve. i find it difficult t obelieve that it is just spite.

Clinical Pharmacology, this case intrigues me and others I have spoken to as well. The fact that it is clear that Mawer and his family are posting defensive or diversionary material and the facts being revealed have resulted in a great deal of interest.

Someone else has suggested this, and I think one thing which might be useful at some point is that all those large numbers who have been attacked by Mawer and unable to defend themselves should involve themselves in a new site which would provide clear and open details about what has happened in a number of cases.

If Mawer is moving to Begbies, his failures to achieve revenue (that's all they are all interested in) and running up of enormous costs, the collapse of a case like this which could lead down all sorts of avenues - these all cause doubts and questions.

What I really still want to know is 'why are Begbies still saying they have no idea whether he is joining them?'. I cannot believe that there is NOTHING in the story. Surely it wasn't just put out as a flyer for last Thursday's hearing? To make Mawer look better and to stop the director attacking Mawer for his departure from KPMG?

I have just heard some extraordinary news from my mole at KPMG. He has shown me confidential documents that prove without any doubt that KPMG have actually tried to block the Director's e-mails to Mawer and his staff and were caught red handed by the director! it appears that the director then appealed to the Secretary of State who ordered them to stop blocking the victim's ability to contact Mawer! Just take this on board! KPMG arranged that a Director under investigation by a Liquidator appointed by the Court could no longer contact that liquidator because they were so terrified at the way this was going and what he was saying to Mawer and others! What ON EARTH is this all about?
