Hi This might be of interest: Ciar Byrne Monday December 16, 2002 Business Age magazine has closed with the loss of 10 jobs. The title, founded by Tom Rubython, failed to pay staff in November and will cease publication from January. Since its launch in 1992 Business Age has been through at least four different owners. Rubython sold the magazine to the Dutch publishing giant VNU in 1994 for ?3.2m. It was closed down one year later only to be revived by businessman Owen Oyston in 1996, who then sold it to Priori Media Group. In May shares in the company were sold to two of its former directors, Ian Richardson and Chris Butt, who had appointed himself the magazine's editor in 1998, the Sunday Express reported. The Sunday Express said Butt was hoping to set up a refinancing deal, but added that if he was successful he would face ?200,000 in claims from creditors.

This article was sent to me form a former DMC senior executive insider at DMC New York. "The magazine has studied the Colin Chapman death for several years and has published a number of articles on Chapman's death as it relates to DeLorean. The facts illuminated raise suspicions and the mystery continues. According to BA journalists, Tony Rubythinon, Anil Bhoyiul, and Jukka Shivonnen, Colin Chapman's premature death was masterminded by JZD." "It was discovered during the company's U.K. bankruptcy hearing that approximately 17.5 million dollars were missing from the Belfast company's accounts. DeLorean's bookkeeping showed that this amount had been paid to Lotus; however, Chapman maintained that he knew nothing about these payments, a contention supported by a preliminary audit of Lotus' (accounting) books. Just prior to a second appointment with Receiver Sir Kenneth Cork, in order to provide his (Colin Chapman) official statement of fact, however, Chapman died unexpectedly. Obviously he (Chapman) would have testified that Lotus had never received the sum itemized by DeLorean, in which case there could have been a possible 10 year sentence for DeLorean." "Accounts indicate that prior to the meeting between Cork and Chapman, DeLorean had tried to convince Chapman to give testimony clearing him (DeLorean) of any wrongdoing. Of course, had Chapman perjured himself he would have come under judicial scrutiny himself, a condition which was obviously unacceptable to Chapman." BusinessAge magazine suggests that "as a result of his (Chapman) rebuff - DeLorean paid 1 million dollars to organized crime associates in order to manage a "natural" death for Chapman, thereby insuring that he never completed his final statement to Sir Kenneth Cork." The facts are curious. "On the day of his (Chapman) death Chapman flew his private plane to France for a meeting relating to his (Lotus) racing business. On the flight he apparently carried passengers who were both uninvolved in his business interests and unknown to him, an obviously unusual situation. Chapman never arrived at the meeting and after flying himself home, according to his wife (Hazel Chapman) could not remember much of what happened during the day. He retired early in the evening complaining of illness and during the night died of a massive heart attack. BA magazine supposes that Chapman had been injected with DIGITALIS, a drug know to cause nearly untraceable heart attack." Yahoo!
