Snowflake Royal We all know the only billionaires investing in football are from dodgy Arab states, China and Russia etc looking to launder their criminal proceeds right?
You've just got to hope they don't get caught whilst they're holding you.
At least this lot are genuinely ploughing their ill gotten gains through stuff that is long term investment.
If they're assets are frozen and claimed we are well and truly fuxxored.

Nameless We’re no worse off than if SJM had succumbed to a heart attack at any point after he took us on.
Most clubs are now totally dependent on a rich owner, it’s how the game has gone.
The report thoughseems to simply be a historical run through of where he got his money. I don’t actually see anything that says he’s in trouble (although one or two of the things mentioned sound a bit iffy)

Mostly agreed. However, I think the automatically translated article is suggesting that there is a CCP report accusing him of money laundering and some similar crimes. Epoch Times is a CCP mouthpiece. It doesn’t really matter if you actually did anything wrong, if you cross the wrong official then you’re in trouble.

Epoch Times is famously anti-CCP, no?

You’re right, I was wrong, they’re a Falun Gong puppet that is banned in mainland China. So this is maybe not such a reliable story.
Boris Zingarevich was allegedly a mobster and one of the Thais used slaves in his fishing business, so this might not even be our biggest ownership scandal.

Off course SJm was not a foreign owner, and would not have just pull the plug if things got a bit iffy, he has too many other local commitments, and being British and British based would not have risked his good name.
Really I think it is time to phase out Johnny foreigner at all levels of the game.

Can governments freeze/claim assets in another country?
I'm not actual sure how you'd use the football club to launder money though. There must be some ways, but given the sums being mentioned in that report, it would barely be worth it.

Certainly foreign ownership of English clubs is very questionable, fair enough if you buy a top premier league club but other than that why would you want to buy an English football club? Especially as you’ll end up putting in quite a lot of money and not getting it back, hardly every going to make a profit
