I wasn't sure of my facts in previous post, so here's a little research if you are interested:
**** Check out ASX notices 6MAR08 (Anthony Blumberg resigned because he had too much work floating Opes Prime, of which he is major shareholder and director, an didn't have time for ADY); and 28MAR08 (Phil Thomas advised associated entities have margin lending facilities with Opes Prime)

("Deloitte Corporate Reorganisation Group were appointed by a secured creditor, ANZ, as Receivers and Managers of Opes Prime Group Ltd, Opes Prime Stockbroking Ltd, Leveraged Capital Pty Ltd and Hawkswood Investments Pty Ltd.")

Comment: This is an interesting article ... it also exposes the connection between Opes Prime director, Lirim - known as Laurie - Emini, and ANZ.

****ASX notice 3/4/08 (Merrill Lynch sold out it's own holding in ADY) Comment: Merrill Lynch was one of the creditors of Opes Prime and so would know what was about to hit the fan ... pity they didn't tell everyone, but I took the hint and bailed as well.
