The sequestration of J with a double nn, is a separate matter to the liquidation of the other incorporations; 6 months before they became insolvent anyway.
Yep, but RSA stands zero chance to extradite him, because the USA does have a treaty. So here we all are bleating at his SA demise .... it's never going to happen.
This has been bugging me for a while:
Extradition treaties with these countries have been negotiated by the Republic, but not yet signed –
Brazil;
Cuba;
Hungary;
Mexico;
Namibia;
South Korea;
Taiwan; and
I been thinking a bit about this. It is relevant if the shareholders have received a dividend. If they haven't then its not really the case.
The directors are the managers acting on behalf of the shareholders (that the shareholders are also directors is a coincidence) and they are the ones...
If the court finds that they are de facto directors, then I guess they are directors too. This charge goes straight to that issue, as I see it. Being found delinquent is the least of their problems; they are being charged with causing loss of a few billion.
Of the responsibilities of directors is their duty to maintain company registers, including the share registers. Failure to keep the registers in the manner required by the Act incurs a maximum fine of a million bucks!That probably fades into insignificance in this matter, though.
