[greebly]

Hi all,

I've been working and compiling data for a few months now but lack access in other countries.

One thing I see alot are "loans" I am trying to find an old article mentioning huge loans back in the 80s to the UK arm before CORSECI was setup and wandered if they have cropped up elsewhere.

I am hunting for the link but if anyone remembers it please post here thx.

It relates to work done before Cowen's piece, so 1979-1981.
Sorry to be so vague but it was a chap by the name or Robert/Roger based in Switzerland if that jogs any memories.

Another entity to follow based in luxembourg aswell as the UK is:
SOR SERVICES (UK) LIMITED
THE EXPLORER BUILDING
FLEMING WAY
MANOR ROYAL CRAWLEY
WEST SUSSEX
RH10 9GT
Company No. 02681177

This used to be called Returnshine and has recivied large amounts before.
Probably offshore as mentioned many times but worth a side note without too much distraction.
