Firepower boss claiming illness to delay court
Ahh, the old "rip people off of $100m and then suddenly develop a heart condition that prevents you from flying to a court appearance" ruse. Sick and tired of that. Since when did Tim Johnston ever have a heart?
Firepower boss delusional, court told
Firepower boss Tim Johnston cannot travel to Perth because he is delusional and at risk of complete heart failure, his medical practitioner says.But my favourite bit:
Dr Mackay told the court that Mr Johnston had come to him complaining of cardiac irregularity and minor delusional thoughts.He ripped $100m out of people. There probably are people following and trying to harm him. Are they wearing yellow or purple singlets by any chance?
"He was overweight, he was short of breath, he was not sleeping and he displayed minor delusional thoughts," Dr Mackay said.
"He said he thought people were following him, were after him and trying to harm him."
Arrest him, send a couple of ex-Sydney Kings to escort him via car (great roadtrip!) since he doesn't want to fly, and then deal with him in court. Bastard.
