I made a nice few quid out of the Polly Peck shares so he was alright in my book

[techtrader]

[benjaminbutton]

Ahhhhh yes techtrader, then escaped by skipping on to a little plane and turned up you know where. Theres legends and theres legends. More to him that meets the eye.

[Groucho]

His face didn't fit with the 'billionaires club' in London when he did what they were all up to in those times... They were so jealous of his flair for making a success of his empire. Tiny Rowland et al. He was thrown under the bus...

[Johnny Lee]

Many people were jealous of his brilliance and success, The way he escaped the UK was Legendary. Then starting Vestel. He wanted the name to be Western Electric, But there is no W in the Turkish Alphabet. Amongst his many succeses. Didnt he manufacture probably the most popular VHS recorder ever made for Ferguson. The Videostar.

Started Crystal Cove. Produced a newspaper. Along with many other impessive ventures. Managed to get 100s of the world press into Lapta village. Lol. In my eyes, thats a Legend. A truly Great Man.
