bunyip, I believe Frank has the right to push any agenda he feels fit in this forum, just as anybody else has the right to counter or agree. I am pleased that there is one ex-client who is willing to be publicly identified and engage.
I hope Frank will respond one day as to why he is taking the above tack.
Maybe the courts will decide if this is an honest approach.
Solly
One further point....I’m not questioning Frank’s honesty in telling us his version of how he was done over by Storm and the banks. But I certainly question his honesty in claiming that he bears no responsibility for his actions.
Fair enough that Frank wants others to be held accountable for their actions. But Frank also needs to be accountable for his own actions.
Yet many of them have never run a business or done anything constructive in their lives to help others.
Not your intention to belittle the financial advisory sector? That's what you have done in post after post.it is not my intention on this forum to belittle the financial advisory sector. I must admit that at times I do have the occasional "dummy spit" when I think about what has happened to us. However, I also know it would be foolish on my part to condemn all financial advisers for the wrongs of a few. Good financial advisers have a place in the scheme of things and they are beneficial to society.
Good Lord, that's not saying much! This pathetic government is intent on creating a nanny state which will soon remove any sense of personal responsibility, thus eventually breeding a nation of compliant idiots who depend on rules and regulations for every decision.Julia has said that she doesn’t think there is a need for more regulations. Obviously, she is at odds with this Government
Phew! That's a relief.For my part, I do not have the time or inclination to go over old ground.
Translation: "When all the discrepancies in my statements are pointed out to me, I simply have no answer."Therefore I will not be answering any further posts that do not have something constructive to say.
Exactly. Just as an example, the various Nigerian scams are now widely known. Police repeatedly come on TV and warn the population about this. Yet, millions of dollars still get sent in response to these unsolicited emails telling people they have become eligible for a payout of millions.But no matter what new rules and regulations come into play, there will always be a rogue firm or two out there trying to make money off other people's misfortune. It has been going on for ever and will continue to.
Unfortunately, no matter what changes the industry undertakes in the future, it still won't protect people from themselves, because that is at the heart of all of this...
+1.Spare us the high moral ground Frank. You do nothing but contradict yourself with your long-winded ramblings.
+1. Another rude and arrogant assumption.And how the bloody hell would you know if we’ve ever run businesses or done anything to help other people???!!!
Hi Solly,
Every time I have answered questions thrown at me on this forum I have tried to answer in an honest way and yet some people are still not satisfied. They never will

Looks like the Melton auction is now, Sat 19-Nov-11 11:00AM.
Will you be taking Byrnsie to the Ross Island for a drink afterwards ?

The Gumnut clan will be parking Audis, selling and rescuing handbags from overheated cars and otherwise contributing to the display of wealth unbridled, at the sale of Manny's pile on Melton Tce. this Saturday.
The Cassimatis Mansion is the result of taste, taste done ultimate, on the back of a bull market, subscribed to by the unsophisticated victims of Storm.
Byrnsie is upbeat, as he would be.
It will have to be seen to be believed.
Come one, come all, mansion going cheap.

Where will Manny live next, I wonder.
Could there be any truth in the rumour that he's been talking to Pixie Scase to get the rundown on Majorca?
Storm Financial directors' mansion up for auction
Real estate agent Garry Byrnes says the home is worth millions of dollars.
"It's certainly stated as a luxury property because of the obvious size of it and the opulence of some of the fittings and so forth," he said.
He says he is expecting a big turn-out, even if it is not registered buyers."

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that you will really be there?
I hope you snap some pics with your g-Phone from the scene and upload them for us all to peruse.

God bless you my son for your good work for such a noble crusade, a trip like that will take 12 hrs or more my God be with you and good luck with your forensic accountancy work, maybe you could have a quick chat to Mammy just to see if there are any loop holes he may know but you are not aware of and have look over his book cooking instruments .
My mate Peter is there as well after a stint in some government funded housing scheme all us 99% can only look back in awe and wonder why were are not among they chose few but then like any good battle plan it all comes apart once the first bullet is fired, so best of luck.
By the way the blonde in Cavel Ave near Believe it of get F&^K attraction is actually more well endowed than any man so be warned.
Unfortunately a mate has started a Church on the Gold Coast and I need to steer the Bentley from here to there by hallelujah hour on Sunday. He has asked me to look at the books.
He is having major problems with a rat in the ranks, money disappearing, sex, a pregnancy, very ungodly behaviour, and there is also a very important rich wedding in which the Bentley stars in the afternoon.
So I will be saying goodbye to Townsville at Cluden at about midnight tonight, stopping only for sustenance at a servo, and in no time at all will be whispering matins on the coast. I plan to cross Pine River at about 8pm and the Nerang shortly after.
Word about is that there were two interested buyers for Casa Cassimatis, but now there is only one, something to do with Kuwait buggered the other one. The local bookie says $1.4m. It seems such a steal.

"Auctioneers expect a crowded Storm sale
Camera crews from the Seven and Nine networks will capture the event on television and real estate agents believe it could attract as many as 200 people - they briefly toyed with the idea of hiring security guards."
"Storm Financial founders Emmanuael and Julie Cassimatis's mansion passed in at auction
THE former Townsville home of Storm Financial founders Emmanuel and Julie Cassimatis has been passed in at auction at $1.35 million."
I haven't had computer access since my last post and have only had a short read of some of the posts since however Frank I back up your claims that this most definitely feels very much as though we've been raped and anyone who takes offence at this remark certainly has no idea how we feel or they wouldn't feel so defensive.
I have never been physically raped but I have worked with someone who has and helped her work through it, and I can tell you something for nothing my emotions over this storm case are very much on a par with the way she is feeling even to this day let me tell you.
Any claims by a rape victim that this situation has no similarity is very very much mistaken. You have no idea and never will know just how destruction this experience has been. I take offense most strongly that we, the victims are to blame and need to take responsibility and I know that my reasoning is sound on this issue and don't need to repeat myself.
If this is how a person seeking financial advice is treated, if this is how financial planners are 'allowed' to operate and get away with it, if this is how the Australian banking system is allowed to mistreat their clients then all I can say is the whole industry needs dismantleing, it's disgusting.
Irrespective of what 'percentage' of blame one can level at the banking industry, the fact remains that they have a case to answer. The criminal put up the idea and his partner gave him the means to allow the crime to occur, I believe it's sometimes called 'aiding and abeting'
To all storm clients out there don't believe that you are in the wrong for seeking and accepting financial advice from these experts, you have been well and truly raped by the financial advisor and his financial backers and anyone who thinks otherwise is an outsider in this fight that we have on our hands for justice. They are the ones who have no idea and their continued onslaught of storms victims is the most disgusting thing that I've ever had the misfortune to read in my life.
