Hi

 

Just caught it briefly on the Melbourne Channel 9 news. Saw quite a few XU-1s in the footage. No names given but I hope it's nobody we know.

 

Cheers

Wonder if it is our old mate who was trying to sell a dodgy CK a while back?

 

We can only hope.

That's exactly along the lines I was thinking when I saw the headline.  I was hoping to read it was a certainty.

Be mindful of what you type. At least one person caught up in this sorry mess is a well known forum member.

And no I'm certainly not naming anyone. Without knowing all the facts all those involved are entitled to fair treatment while justice takes its course. There will be innocent victims and perpetrators. The courts need to decide which side of the fence those involved are on.
