Whatmough's dough blown.

Let this be a lesson to us all. Anthony has done a truckload of cash, probably close to a mill, after investing with a property developer who has just declared himself bankrupt owing $60 million. Doubtful he'll get any back. Maybe now he'll play on for another ten years.

Wat-d'oh!

Sounds like great advice from Mimis to Choc?

 

[MadMarcus]

Was there any Stillnox involved in this deal?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Not a Jarrod McCracken deal is it ??

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Trying to make a quick buck, anyway at least he's young enough to get that money back (over a very long term of course)

 

[Frogz]

Wonder if there is a Delmege connection in this one....

The worry is though Mark what is Choc qualified to do post footy?

At the moment property developement is a disaster,you have to rely on the market moving constantly forward, and at the moment it's just not happening, have a look at the Tigers developement in Balmain,i reckon the Sharks will be in trouble as well.
I hope his manager warned him of the risks involved before jumping in

I wonder if he received some advice from Max Krillich who went bankrupt from dealing with a property developer in QLD? Or maybe Craig McDermott or Jarrod Mccracken or any of the dozens of devlopers who have gone bust in QLD since 2008?

Not a good time to be invested in most things.

A quick buck is hard to pass up,but as they say a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush atm.

You are just speculating that he lost $1 million. It says he was part of a group of people. It doesn't say how many there was. Choc might have only invested $500 000 or paid for one unit and not over commuted himself. All investments are prone to go belly up at any minute.

I was watching the Brett Fulton highlights DVD when I was typing that post. I meant Craig Mcdermott.

Guess you can't expect the same sort of security that the big city banks have in the bush but birds getting into the ATMs is a bit of a worry. I reckon you'd have trouble getting them out the slot too.

Clearly there is a spot waiting for him in the media, namely the role currently filled by Mark Geyer.
