    Just to clarify, I am not recommending doing anything illegal, just stating that he should make sure he gets proper advice on his situation and if there is anything LEGAL he could do to save him money....no different to the threads where an employee gets this advice.

    Yes you are!

    Deliberately running a business in such a way that it cannot pay its debts is a criminal offence.

    In your earlier post you said

    Also, I would have thought legally he would be able to engineer it that come that time of his retirement there is simply no money left to pay the employees and the state would have to pay.

    You have suggested that he should seek the advice of a lawyer and an accountant to do that!

    If that is not a crime I don't know what is.

    Outrageous!

    Takeaway_Addict - when you take it away I trust you pay for it? So what is the difference?
