He sold BHS in March 2015 and the company basically filed bankruptcy a year later in March 2016. So what did Green do that was wrong? Green bought BHS for 200m pounds and sold it for one pound 13 years later. So how did he make a killing?
I walked right past him in Skiathos where he had his boat moored offshore. He was on his phone and, as I passed him, he said “ I’ve just trashed the f*****g regulator”. Just about sums him up.

I was working for BHS over its last few years, and with hindsight, it’s no surprise that the company went under. Basically, nothing much had been updated or invested in for years. As staff, we were working with tills and other equipment from the late 90’s (for instance the tills still had a hardware button on them for paying by cheque) and if a customer wanted to order online, you were lucky if the ordering page would even load. This being the kind of thing which kept businesses afloat during the recession of the late 2000’s, you would think that they would have invested in it a lot more. I left BHS as it all ended and went to a much better retailer where there is regular investment and technology gets updated every couple of years. There is also a lot more availability of stock, and the difference is quite noticeable.
There is no way the people in power (government, rich) did NOT know what type of man he was. It appals me that the current government has the power to basically tell the King/Queen “these are the people we have chosen for Knighthood, Dame etc. This should remain with the Royals.
He set up an online shopping service at Arcadia,which he omitted to include a parcel tracking service,so customers often didnt receive their goods for weeks or if at all.Or when a refund had been given,so they did ok out of it.
When they shut Burton's in Great Yarmouth in 2013 we were still using fixtures and fittings from before he brought Arcadia, yet Topshop Yarmouth in its last year had a complete refit followed by a new floor a few months later. And of course you had the Outfit branch up on the retail park. Compared to the other shops in Yarmouth we were a museum yet often in the news letters and the six month newsletter we'd always read about and see pictures of Phillip hanging out with Kate Moss at one event or another
@@j.4332 Yeah and in Burtons we basically ramned the website down people's throats, poster on every other fixture, decals on the windows and doors, posters in the fitting rooms, sign on the counters. Both the area managers we had for Yarmouth now and again passed comment about trade being down but neither one would accept the fact that we were loosing it to the website and in some regards to the local outfit branch as well

That’s heartwarming to see Oliver Shah go to such lengths to expose those pirates. Some people still care! Such a shame so many greedy people get away with stealing pensions.
Unfortunately, Philip Green's story ends with a "he lived happily ever after", with his yacht and his millions. He's not even scratched the surface of the damage he caused.

This man ended clothing industry in London in the 90s. Arcadia was the company that started having clothes made abroad. The government (new labour) let him get away with so much. They literally forced clothing factories to close with new rules for clothing factories creating expenses they couldn’t afford. Thousands of workers lost their jobs, with no media coverage of what was happening.

The notion that billionaires are rich because they're "smarter" or "work harder" than the rest of us is proven more false every day. They are just ruthless and heartless and know how to extract wealth at everyone else's expense.
Over the course of my entrepreneurial career, I have known about seven billionaires. At least 3 came by their own massive wealth honestly. The rest I am not so sure.
@@alexp3752 If you have over one billion dollars it definitionally cannot have been earned "honestly", because it is impossible for a single person to work "hard enough" or "smart enough" to earn a billion dollars. The only way you can amass that much wealth is through exploitation of workers and skimming their surplus value. I am sure there are billionaires who are nice people, but that's a separate question from whether or not they earned their wealth "honestly".
My favorite high end clothing store went dark inside the Mall one day. I ran into one of the women who worked in the store, she had been there for many years, and asked her what happened. Turns out even this store owner bought a yacht, amongst other things, like cars, homes and other goodies. Things started to fall apart for him eventually and he had to declare bankruptcy. Of course all his employees were at the bottom of the list as far as their pays, holiday pays, etc., were concerned. I think this is what happens to a lot of wealthy business owners, they take so much money out of their companies that when a slump happens the rot starts to set in pretty quickly. They are usually ok, it's their employees who suffer the most. Not getting a pay cheque is quite serious for most people, not to mention being out of a job. A friend of mine also had a good thing going and was off on holiday constantly, working the odd time only, building a mansion, driving expensive cars, etc. but not paying his business taxes for several years. Finally having to face the fact that he was in deep trouble and no longer able to hide the fact that he owed a small fortune to the government - he died. All his offices closed. I remember clearly reading about CEOs and the money they were raking in when I was a secretary at a fitness club. This goes back more than thirty years or so. I asked my boss how this made any sense, or how anyone thought that this was fair. I did the math and this one guy was making about three thousand dollars a week. These days some of these CEOs make that in a minute, while the employees of the company have to go on strike to get a few pennies more a week. It is a skewed system that is not sustainable.

I think it's odd that you equate snakes with this man. Snakes have a place in the natural world that is useful. People say the same about pigs, cows and dogs. Why?
The pension system in the U.K. is just a big joke. Pensions money should be taken out of responsabilities of corporations and managed from a garantted third source, like state insurances etc. No pension money (asset and liabilities) should ever sit in any company balance sheet (apart from the state insurance managing it off course)
Prisons are only for the very often innocent poor people that haven't got the money for a "good" lawyer, the rich (just like the police) will get away with murder.
This is the prat who tried to force "staff discount cards" onto staff that were actually credit cards. Then force staff into debt, with him. Then force overtime to keep up with the payments.
My friend ran a business abroad. Some characters rolled out to her, a card that you pay staff with. Basically, a slave card. I told her that she best tell them to go away. Unless she wants The SEC and AML/CTF and God knows who else dropping by for a chat. These clowns were telling her that the benefits were mostly, that she could hide money. They were legit, and believed it themselves. I would have schooled them, because they were just fools. But I was too busy schooling her.
I'm heartened to see many commentators understand that Green is one of the "you know whos" even though Vice can't bring themselves to delve into it. His "early background" is the key.
I briefly dated a lady who worked for him in his top tier management team. She left his employment after a couple of years and had to take several months off to get over the stress of his management style. Some of the stories she shared were of a megalomaniacal bully but he instilled such loyalty in his staff they put up with it.
Green has the daughter, Chloe , who dated the criminal model, Jeremy (Mugshot) Meeks, be interesting to see how their child turns out...(Philip's Grandchild)
I've never heard of journalist Oliver Shah. I think he's brilliant, incredible research level. He's also a great communicator, I was riveted by the story, his delivery of it and his voice... it's so easy to listen to.
A healthy business will make profits for its board, shareholders and employees. There's no reason to plunder it this way and bring misery to many people. Great investigative journalism. This is the British Press at it's best.
UK Government needs to change the laws or keep expecting this to happen. Pensions should be protected and not able to be paid out to shareholders as dividends.
There's FAR more to this story than the public will ever fully know. Hush payments, corrupt blind eyes etc, the list is endless and the people staggering!
Should be no surprise. Their entire existence is based on the ability to steal resources from others, then resell those resources at a mark up to the people they stole the resources from.
This affected me personally as the partner of an ex-BHS employee of 20+ years and all the stress and financial worry that came with working for a company that was effectively run by someone akin to a crook. It's not just him we were angry with, it's the toothless government. The FSCS seems to allow companies to mismanage their obligations to pensioners who have been making their contributions and instead use their money for personal profit (or their Monaco-resident wives). Look at the current Post office scandal - absolutely nobody in positions of power ends up in prison. Sick to effing death with this sort of stuff, things need to change.
Yes the justice system is too complacent but he paid 400 million so I guess legally that was all demanded of him and however many people don't have pensions thats responsible management? Journalism has to mention always how they get away with it and that's a whole other story the corruption by courts and such also.
Some of us call them Lizard people, they are not human, they put on a human suit to be likeable. I would not trust anyone with titles and connections to the RF.
I know he got away with the money, but it’s a minor victory that he basically isn’t welcome in the UK and no celebs will want to associate themselves with him. He clearly loved being the centre of attention
How he's still in possession of that luxury yaught basically sums up all that is wrong with this country and how failed business men can put all their assets into another country and be protected. Its sickening to be honest. To pay his wife over a billion pounds, own a yaught himself worth a simular amount,just before everything he owns collapses around him, is sick. Many people really suffered in his wake, but finds protection in a tax haven of a country.
I wouldn’t describe him as a failed businessman. On the contrary - he was extremely successful. He just took capitalism to its extreme at the expense of those who worked for him, and now he’s living out his days in the lap of luxury. He’s an utter rogue, for sure, but he got away with it.

He's in the league of Robert Maxwell, who too spent the latter days on his yatch in the Med (but jumped off it one night). Bob Hoskins, God bless him, could've played him in on a screen version...
Robert Maxwell was killed by The Mossad. He blackmailed The Israeli Government, or tried to...............and got eliminated. The circumstances surrounding his death, were questionable, if not down right suspicious. So......according to the official report, he died of a heart attack, drowning was ruled out, since he only had a very little amount of water in his lungs ( not consistent with drowning ). It`s also claimed, that he was actually a Mossad Agent, and when you read about his life, that makes sense..................🤔
Most top business people are, but remember he did keep people in employment for a long time, even if it ended in catastrophe. Pensions were paid. He’s not unusual, but tge world has moved on and next we’ll be looking at the line of TATA who leverage debt to buy business, they make Green look like a street hawker.
He's not a psychopath, he's just a fat greedy little slug that bullies people because of his wealth. Get him alone, without his minders, and see how he crumbles. It would give me great pleasure to give him the sound thrashing he so obviously deserves.
I lived in Island Harbour, and this video has just made me realise what actually happened. For context Island Harbour is a total mess, there's about three blocks of flats, 2/3 remain unfinished. The harbour was polluted, and the place is a ghost town, to the point where the inhabitants don't get their bins collected because the 'owner' forgets to pay his pick-up bills. Thankfully I left rather quickly. I'm in no shock that the man who made Island Harbour isn't able to run a business, he can't even build homes. Everyone hates him on the Isle of Wight.
Prisons weren’t built for people like him, he’s proof that the system is fraudulent and broken. A vile specimen, if he was dying of thirst and I had a glass of water, I’d glass the C##T.
Completely sympathise. Where is Gavrilo Princip and Charlotte Corday when you need them? Sir Philip Green employed exactly the same M.O. as Maxwell in looting the employee pension fund and the authorities seem to have learned nothing from it. Indeed the authorities through their inaction are complicit in it.
I hate that the "fall" of the ultra-rich is a tarnished reputation of sorts they're forced to endure while still partying on a mega yacht, us plebs would be in jail for similar fraud.
@@joerouse6205 Can you even imagine the panic she felt went she even looked at the purses that were only £25.000 thinking "omg, what if I could only afford that bag... the embarrassment!"?
This is why there is backfire against (unhinged) capitalism - the greed is actually encouraged by politicians in UK who received donations from big businesses.
He lost millions of pounds in casino's. I worked at a casino he used to frequent, we used to pick him up from his private jet on a Monday and take him to the Dorchester where he stayed all week, on a Friday evening we'd take him back to his jet to fly back to Monaco where he lived, just to avoid paying tax. During the week he'd come to the casino most nights, when in London. I knew of one time, where he lost £9m in one night, he then returned the following night and lost another £5m, a total of £14m in two nights. That's probably where all the pension money went.
Interesting that halfway through the interview he just about admits that editors are influenced by personal relationships and hush up stories because of it. Normally journalists love to say they’re not at all influenced in such a way by their owners or editors
It's certainly strongly suggestive of collusion with the so-called Fourth Estate isn't it. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours unless or until someone decides it's worth the cost of breaking ranks.
Not all of them - it tends to be editors that say that, and they also say that their proprietors have no influence with them. Ha! Tell that to Rupe Murdoch!
As i approach 73, i remember BHS as a little boy, going in there with dear mum, then in later years again using this store, green has taken those memory from me, and should now be serving jail time AND i believe it was only the threat of losing his knighthood that made him pay money back into the pension fund.
*His knighthood allows him to receive the best part of £100,000 per year from the British tax payer - yet does not have to visit the House of Lords, unless he wants to. Another fantastic system for the privileged.*
Some probably think/feel that anyone could be a crook, how were they to know. Many just hate you and me anyway 🤷♂. Many are probably pretty normal and regret any association ?
Shafting his former employees out of their pensions is worthy of a stiff prison sentence. Almost as disappointing is that Bob Hoskins is no longer available to play him in the movie.
With the existence of A.I now becoming common where it can mimic the look and sound of a person id say anything can be possible to bring a recently passed on actor like Bob Hoskins back on screen, not just him but any well known actor/actress etc. Id kill to see marylin monroe up n about.
I worked in a couple of Burton's and the stress that used to come down the chain made me glad i never got the trainee management I didn't realise I was applying for at the time. Management used to get bonus for hitting the store card every six months which around 2010 was taken away yet he was still getting at least £10 per account that was opened
When people ask "Why is the free press the fourth Estate?" - journalists like Oliver Shah are the answer. To expose the greedy and punish the corrupted
In my view, the fact that billionaires are allowed to exist shows a deep flaw in the economic models we live in. Economies that are geared up to reward the brutes, the tyrants, the greedy and the haves. I'm not a "commy" or a socialist but I do think there is a possibility for conscious capitalism where profit and growth are not the only measures of success.
Worse is that the prevalence of the usage of the word " billionaire" came into common usage during and right after the financial crisis of 2008! It suddenly was seen as too common an aspiration to become a billionaire....a millionaire or tens of millionaire wasn't good enough. And the hoarding of money and not moving around money so as to benefit even the arts of to be known like the Victorian philanthropists who provided housing for the poor.....these billionaires lack vision, style or whimsy. The making of the money has become the media and cultural attraction.....without explanation or censure by even the most left wing media as to how one actually " earns" billionaire status. Or the ethics or lack of within that dynamic.
Excellent work. This is journalism from Oliver Shah at its very best. Just only 1 thing is missing & that is the Sir/Knighthood should be transferred from Philip Green to make it Sir Oliver Shah.

I doubt if Green cares. He had a good time,hit a little bump in the road and is now living the good life again. He has no shame so pieces like this don't bother him.
Doesn't sound like much of a fall to me, dude probably still has millions. Fair play though, it seems he was a perfectly adept businessman for the first few decades of his career. I guess the ruined reputation is exactly what he deserved, and he only has himself to blame for how he handled the demise of his retail empire.
I worked for this piece of work in the 1970's at his coat manufacturing factory in Lawrence Rd Tottenham. An absolute despicable man and his battle axe wife. He had his West End warehouse burnt for insurance money and the man who did the burning was a father of an England Manchester United football team captain. He sent this man to Focsani, Romania to work in one of his factories there so he was never interviewed by the police.

He set up an online shopping service at Arcadia,which he omitted to include a parcel tracking service,so customers often didnt receive their goods for weeks or if at all.Or when a refund had been given,so they did ok out of it.
When they shut Burton's in Great Yarmouth in 2013 we were still using fixtures and fittings from before he brought Arcadia, yet Topshop Yarmouth in its last year had a complete refit followed by a new floor a few months later. And of course you had the Outfit branch up on the retail park. Compared to the other shops in Yarmouth we were a museum yet often in the news letters and the six month newsletter we'd always read about and see pictures of Phillip hanging out with Kate Moss at one event or another
@@j.4332 Yeah and in Burtons we basically ramned the website down people's throats, poster on every other fixture, decals on the windows and doors, posters in the fitting rooms, sign on the counters. Both the area managers we had for Yarmouth now and again passed comment about trade being down but neither one would accept the fact that we were loosing it to the website and in some regards to the local outfit branch as well
BS... I spent 2014 closing down some Evans stores and the till POS system was as about as modern as you could get. It was the same system New Look and River Island were using.

The notion that billionaires are rich because they're "smarter" or "work harder" than the rest of us is proven more false every day. They are just ruthless and heartless and know how to extract wealth at everyone else's expense.
Just criminals
They are smarter at stealing smartly
It's a tribal thing ! 🙄
Over the course of my entrepreneurial career, I have known about seven billionaires. At least 3 came by their own massive wealth honestly. The rest I am not so sure.
@@alexp3752 If you have over one billion dollars it definitionally cannot have been earned "honestly", because it is impossible for a single person to work "hard enough" or "smart enough" to earn a billion dollars. The only way you can amass that much wealth is through exploitation of workers and skimming their surplus value.
I am sure there are billionaires who are nice people, but that's a separate question from whether or not they earned their wealth "honestly".
My favorite high end clothing store went dark inside the Mall one day. I ran into one of the women who worked in the store, she had been there for many years, and asked her what happened. Turns out even this store owner bought a yacht, amongst other things, like cars, homes and other goodies. Things started to fall apart for him eventually and he had to declare bankruptcy. Of course all his employees were at the bottom of the list as far as their pays, holiday pays, etc., were concerned. I think this is what happens to a lot of wealthy business owners, they take so much money out of their companies that when a slump happens the rot starts to set in pretty quickly. They are usually ok, it's their employees who suffer the most. Not getting a pay cheque is quite serious for most people, not to mention being out of a job. A friend of mine also had a good thing going and was off on holiday constantly, working the odd time only, building a mansion, driving expensive cars, etc. but not paying his business taxes for several years. Finally having to face the fact that he was in deep trouble and no longer able to hide the fact that he owed a small fortune to the government - he died. All his offices closed. I remember clearly reading about CEOs and the money they were raking in when I was a secretary at a fitness club. This goes back more than thirty years or so. I asked my boss how this made any sense, or how anyone thought that this was fair. I did the math and this one guy was making about three thousand dollars a week. These days some of these CEOs make that in a minute, while the employees of the company have to go on strike to get a few pennies more a week. It is a skewed system that is not sustainable.
Terrific answer! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I could not agree more one bit! 🇺🇸

The pension system in the U.K. is just a big joke. Pensions money should be taken out of responsabilities of corporations and managed from a garantted third source, like state insurances etc. No pension money (asset and liabilities) should ever sit in any company balance sheet (apart from the state insurance managing it off course)
Prisons are only for the very often innocent poor people that haven't got the money for a "good" lawyer, the rich (just like the police) will get away with murder.
Id love my state pension 6yrs from government..thanks 30k in their pocket thats just me!!😡

Unless she wants The SEC and AML/CTF and God knows who else dropping by for a chat. These clowns were telling her that the benefits were mostly, that she could hide money. They were legit, and believed it themselves. I would have schooled them, because they were just fools. But I was too busy schooling her.
I'm heartened to see many commentators understand that Green is one of the "you know whos" even though Vice can't bring themselves to delve into it. His "early background" is the key.
I briefly dated a lady who worked for him in his top tier management team. She left his employment after a couple of years and had to take several months off to get over the stress of his management style. Some of the stories she shared were of a megalomaniacal bully but he instilled such loyalty in his staff they put up with it.

I've never heard of journalist Oliver Shah. I think he's brilliant, incredible research level. He's also a great communicator, I was riveted by the story, his delivery of it and his voice... it's so easy to listen to.
This video felt like the good old investigative journalism VICE used to be known for.
Lets hope this continues..
That's because it was The Sunday Times, not Vice.
Vice are just interviewing the journalist from the Times, who did the actual journalism. Vice has lost all of its decent journalists
Looks like it was out sourced, but not to worry vice will be back to the same ole crap that bankrupted them

It does but at the same time it is just a man who worked for the Sunday Times recounting his story of what happened. No journalism on Vice's part
A healthy business will make profits for its board, shareholders and employees. There's no reason to plunder it this way and bring misery to many people. Great investigative journalism. This is the British Press at it's best.
UK Government needs to change the laws or keep expecting this to happen. Pensions should be protected and not able to be paid out to shareholders as dividends.

Yes, they do, and that's one reason I don't have reverence for titles and royalty.
This affected me personally as the partner of an ex-BHS employee of 20+ years and all the stress and financial worry that came with working for a company that was effectively run by someone akin to a crook. It's not just him we were angry with, it's the toothless government. The FSCS seems to allow companies to mismanage their obligations to pensioners who have been making their contributions and instead use their money for personal profit (or their Monaco-resident wives). Look at the current Post office scandal - absolutely nobody in positions of power ends up in prison. Sick to effing death with this sort of stuff, things need to change.

I know he got away with the money, but it’s a minor victory that he basically isn’t welcome in the UK and no celebs will want to associate themselves with him. He clearly loved being the centre of attention
How he's still in possession of that luxury yaught basically sums up all that is wrong with this country and how failed business men can put all their assets into another country and be protected. Its sickening to be honest. To pay his wife over a billion pounds, own a yaught himself worth a simular amount,just before everything he owns collapses around him, is sick. Many people really suffered in his wake, but finds protection in a tax haven of a country.
Funny how theyll detain Russian assets no problem though.
I wouldn’t describe him as a failed businessman. On the contrary - he was extremely successful. He just took capitalism to its extreme at the expense of those who worked for him, and now he’s living out his days in the lap of luxury. He’s an utter rogue, for sure, but he got away with it.

Robert Maxwell was killed by The Mossad. He blackmailed The Israeli Government, or tried to...............and got eliminated. The circumstances surrounding his death, were questionable, if not down right suspicious. So......according to the official report, he died of a heart attack, drowning was ruled out, since he only had a very little amount of water in his lungs ( not consistent with drowning ). It`s also claimed, that he was actually a Mossad Agent, and when you read about his life, that makes sense..................🤔

Maxwell didn't jump. He was pushed
If anyone wonders how someone could do something like this, the man is a psychopath, and that is precisely what enables him to behave so grossly.
Most top business people are, but remember he did keep people in employment for a long time, even if it ended in catastrophe. Pensions were paid. He’s not unusual, but tge world has moved on and next we’ll be looking at the line of TATA who leverage debt to buy business, they make Green look like a street hawker.
Plus, it helps to have a psychotic, corrupt government like the current Tory crop we have now, to help him out.
Psychopath or sociopath?
Sociopath, he knows it’s wrong but he did it anyway.
He's not a psychopath, he's just a fat greedy little slug that bullies people because of his wealth. Get him alone, without his minders, and see how he crumbles. It would give me great pleasure to give him the sound thrashing he so obviously deserves.
I lived in Island Harbour, and this video has just made me realise what actually happened. For context Island Harbour is a total mess, there's about three blocks of flats, 2/3 remain unfinished. The harbour was polluted, and the place is a ghost town, to the point where the inhabitants don't get their bins collected because the 'owner' forgets to pay his pick-up bills. Thankfully I left rather quickly.
I'm in no shock that the man who made Island Harbour isn't able to run a business, he can't even build homes. Everyone hates him on the Isle of Wight.

He lost millions of pounds in casino's. I worked at a casino he used to frequent, we used to pick him up from his private jet on a Monday and take him to the Dorchester where he stayed all week, on a Friday evening we'd take him back to his jet to fly back to Monaco where he lived, just to avoid paying tax. During the week he'd come to the casino most nights, when in London. I knew of one time, where he lost £9m in one night, he then returned the following night and lost another £5m, a total of £14m in two nights. That's probably where all the pension money went.
I need to own a casino its a good investment...
He looks (and acts) like a Gringott Goblin-Banker from Harry Potter
Quite an unfortunate turn of events, glad that good reporting exposed the fraud of this businessman.
Interesting that halfway through the interview he just about admits that editors are influenced by personal relationships and hush up stories because of it. Normally journalists love to say they’re not at all influenced in such a way by their owners or editors

Lots of us have memories that have been taken. I’m in the US but things haven’t necessarily changed for the better

Corporate greed always boils down to greed for personal wealth at the expense of anyone anywhere.
UK public getting mugged? Surely not.
Shafting his former employees out of their pensions is worthy of a stiff prison sentence. Almost as disappointing is that Bob Hoskins is no longer available to play him in the movie.
Jayzus you're right, spitting image nearly
With the existence of A.I now becoming common where it can mimic the look and sound of a person id say anything can be possible to bring a recently passed on actor like Bob Hoskins back on screen, not just him but any well known actor/actress etc. Id kill to see marylin monroe up n about.
What about Danny Devito the penguin more like would be better Bob Hoskins was to good for that horrible man.
There is a movie loosely based on him. Greed came out in 2019 with Steve Coogan and draws heavily from PGs life and exploits
Why would you need Bob Hoskins? London still has a fair share of Phil Green look alike Toads
Oliver did a good job uncovering the greed and malfeasance, relatively easy to do when you put effort into it.
I met someone who had been a manager under Sir Phil Greed. She said he was an awful man.
Ditto. The whole MO was asset stripping valuable but failing enterprise.
I worked in a couple of Burton's and the stress that used to come down the chain made me glad i never got the trainee management I didn't realise I was applying for at the time. Management used to get bonus for hitting the store card every six months which around 2010 was taken away yet he was still getting at least £10 per account that was opened
He's one of The Tribe; and this is how they've been doing business for Millenia.

When people ask "Why is the free press the fourth Estate?" - journalists like Oliver Shah are the answer. To expose the greedy and punish the corrupted
Engaging, articulate, well-spoken reporter. Appreciate correct pronunciation of "consortium."
In my view, the fact that billionaires are allowed to exist shows a deep flaw in the economic models we live in. Economies that are geared up to reward the brutes, the tyrants, the greedy and the haves. I'm not a "commy" or a socialist but I do think there is a possibility for conscious capitalism where profit and growth are not the only measures of success.
Worse is that the prevalence of the usage of the word " billionaire" came into common usage during and right after the financial crisis of 2008!
It suddenly was seen as too common an aspiration to become a billionaire....a millionaire or tens of millionaire wasn't good enough.
And the hoarding of money and not moving around money so as to benefit even the arts of to be known like the Victorian philanthropists who provided housing for the poor.....these billionaires lack vision, style or whimsy. The making of the money has become the media and cultural attraction.....without explanation or censure by even the most left wing media as to how one actually " earns" billionaire status. Or the ethics or lack of within that dynamic.
It doesn’t matter if it is capitalism, democracy, socialism or communism. The ruling class are above the Law, and beyond reproach.
Seems to be the same problem in UK as in my country, investigative journalists do the job the police is supposed to do.

Why work hard when you can give your wife a £1B dividend (financed by debt) and then bankrupt your company (including its pension fund)...there are hundreds of asset stripper venture capitlisates (or as some call it "leeches on the face of humanity") that do the same...
Great journalism... please do more..
I need to learn this stuff 😂
Hedge funds?
Great bit of journalism. I wish the rest of the hack's in the UK learn from you!
He should be stripped of his knighthood, but then again the whole honours system should be abolished.
Nice work, proper investigative journalism.
Sir Phillip Green is very personable and seems down to earth, despite his yacht, etc. Charming!
Boomer spotted
So he basically scammed his workers out of their retirement s. Will he ever suffer any consequences? Heartbreaking💔
Are you kidding? Welcome to Britain!
@@Roberto-mh1tb criminal land
@@Roberto-mh1tb all the laws are set up to make sure criminals(gov&co.) get away with it. Criminal-land, the UKKK 🇬🇧 that’s why all the oligarchs and n0nces run here
We ALL have to pay the consequences back one day when we go back to the happy hunting ground ,One may get away with things on the earth plane ,However it's a different matter upstairs ,Oh and then theirs Karma ,!
Brilliant piece of journalism, thank you.
"the fall" he's still insanely rich, he lives on one of the largest yachts in Monaco. I see him walking around Monaco from time to time shabby as hell in a tracksuit lol.
Yes but he hasn't long to live and i cant see him being resurrected by God.
Great coverage thanks
I doubt if Green cares. He had a good time,hit a little bump in the road and is now living the good life again. He has no shame so pieces like this don't bother him.
Great work by Oliver......fascinating insight into little Phil.......the man who was !
Doesn't sound like much of a fall to me, dude probably still has millions. Fair play though, it seems he was a perfectly adept businessman for the first few decades of his career. I guess the ruined reputation is exactly what he deserved, and he only has himself to blame for how he handled the demise of his retail empire.
I worked for this piece of work in the 1970's at his coat manufacturing factory in Lawrence Rd Tottenham. An absolute despicable man and his battle axe wife. He had his West End warehouse burnt for insurance money and the man who did the burning was a father of an England Manchester United football team captain. He sent this man to Focsani, Romania to work in one of his factories there so he was never interviewed by the police.
