Where’s The Cash Now?

.
Questions about cash are raised in a couple of stories this morning.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth about the alleged cricket fixing by members of the Pakistan cricket team increases in intensity day by day. If proved true, it is of course a disgrace and those involved should be dealt with appropriately.

At this time no-one has been charged with an offence. So what happens now to the £150,000 in ‘readies’ that the News of the World handed over to the alleged fixer?

Questions about cash have also been raised in Japan where officials took a closer look at Tokyo’s oldest man who had been drawing his pension until the age of 111. Alas for his daughter and granddaughter, who have now been arrested, it seems that the man in question died thirty years ago after his mummified remains were found last month.

Police are now looking to see what has happened to the nine million yen (around £68,500) he is said to have drawn for the last thirty years!
