[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 12677, member: 44"] There have been flim-flam operators, for sure, over time. But what really amazes me is the degree of quite blatant conflicts of interest, with seemingly no interest in the topic at all, a sign of those times, I guess. Colin Cooper was a Director of the Honey Producers Assn (HPA). He was also a Managing Director for Jack Butland's food processing company. Jack Butland who later became the Govt's representative on the Honey Control Board, when the HPA was put into voluntary liquidation. Jack Butland who negotiated a deal so he became the sole agent for Morton's, the London agent for the HPA, while Cooper was still his Managing Director. So then Cooper became the liquidator for the HPA for about 3 years, variously negotiating outcomes with Butland's Board! Sometimes they did good, sometimes they just did well. [/QUOTE]
