Unfortunately, the DTI report points out "Though our sensibilities may have been numbed by long confrontation with the evidence, three features still shine disturbingly through - - first, the cynical disregard of laws and regulations; second, the cavalier misuse of company monies; third, a contempt for truth and common honesty. The picture is of a man obsessed with winning. His conviction and prison sentence were well deserved.
