I can't understand why the directors of these company's are not prosecuted through the criminal courts. Never knew this site existed till now, but having read many of the reports on there it seems that the majority of those being wound up are scam artists, who not only avoid paying tax but also are conning individuals left right and centre...

Thanks,

Theft and fraud is still theft and fraud, at the end of the day.
