NoTail 1,892 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 When SIB collapsed I remember depositors on the street with placards etc - remember Gwelda Lamb? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GD4ELI 2,711 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ooh, placards. Now I'm scared . I do remember actually, was advised at the time to never keep more than a few k in a Manx bank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flubbergump 189 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So 4 months later and its produced nothing. I guess there's just nothing worth leaking here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Bawden 622 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There's a few with weak bladders on MF so I guess there'll be a fair few leaks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

censorship 1,683 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Baffling isn't it, what with all the scandals we are told are waiting to be exposed by investigative journalism 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wann 1,258 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's not really baffling. Why would anyone want to divulge anything to anonymous people just because they have a website with the word leaks in it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
censorship 1,683 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's not really baffling. Why would anyone want to divulge anything to anonymous people just because they have a website with the word leaks in it? Yes, this is probably the explanation. Perhaps if those behind it were to step out of the shadows so we can see who they are and if the intentions really are honest the flood of hidden scandals we are promised will come flooding out.

Flubbergump 189 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Apparently they are professional individuals with backgrounds in business, journalism and law. And yet not comfortable enough in their chosen professions to let their reputation stand before them by naming themselves. Ho Hum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merkin 1,051 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If only would start a website like Amazon but only for the Isle of Man that would surely be a huge success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woolley 19,193 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's not really baffling.

Perhaps if those behind it were to step out of the shadows so we can see who they are and if the intentions really are honest the flood of hidden scandals we are promised will come flooding out. Not baffling. There is just nothing to come out along the lines or scale expected here for years. If there was, there would be no need for a Manx leaks site. It could easily be released onto the internet anonymously from off Island and locals alerted. Too many vivid imaginations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wankleaks 821 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The image problem Manxleaks has is easy to analyse. They said they are a team of experts in journalism, law, and business ....... so they sound exactly like the clique of dodgy bastards in the media, legal, and business circles who have really been responsible for hiding the real dirt that's been going on here for years. Why would people disclose to persons unknown from that sort of group? They might as well said "We are a team of secretive but enthusiastic Masonic journalists and lawyers, but we're the good guys honest. Not the other ones who are doing all of this stuff in the first place ... " 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asitis 5,030 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 If it were possible for a site such as this (Manxleaks) to be truly secure and free from the consequences of ip address chasing and litigious lawyers, then it may be that some interesting stuff would be posted, however as it is not going to ever work like that nothing will ever surface !

Thomas Jefferson 2,560 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 To prove their sincerity, why don't they just re-publish on their website all the old Manx Black Pages material for all to read? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wann 1,258 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) I could talk to Roly, and often did. I first met him when Blackpages was still 'anonymous' at a social occasion. Anyway, as it transpired it soon became common knowledge who was the writer of the pages anyway. There was no need for Roly Drower to be anonymous. Erm, was there.....?
