Thread on the backgound of Diane Culligan, who claimed in May to control a bizarre breakaway club from #MillwallLionesses & husband Anthony, a former shirt sponsor's owner (which recently declared Insolvency at the High Court).

An off-site page of this thread unrolls at its end.

FYI @kelly_noble1 @MichelleYoung90

Mrs Culligan became Director of #MillwallLionesses, June 2018 & assumed Notifiable Control of @FAWC_ club, Oct.2018

#MillwallLionesses bore the one of the brand logos of Mr Culligan's #TechStartup company, namely as "SETL Blockchain" = @SETL_io

It remains to be seen whether the ££ for the whole contract was paid over to the women's club in full, given that both the :

i) Diane-run-Club-Co.
&
ii) Anthony-run-pseudo-Banking-Co.

were in financial difficulty since @Diane_Culligan's arrival in @FAWC_ Foot-Ball.

The couple controlled both the companies' books.

Dangers of cross/self-interests should be clearly apparent to all.

This rambling pile of self-congratulatory navel-gazing from the Arsenal Fixture makes clear very little if, Dear Reader, you've the stomach to sit through it.

@Diane_Culligan's husband placed his "#Blockchain #Tech" business into "#voluntary #Administration", appointing @Quantuma1 - who subsequently reported it had only ever made a loss.

This (most unusual step) is an example of what @FTAlphaville calls "the #FyreFestival economy".

This Venerable & Ancient claret jug inclines toward agreement with the Learned Experts - the veritable #FyreFestival economy on #Fyre

Notice of Appointment was Filed with the High Court on 7 March and Anthony David Culligan, the largest Shareholder & Director, is the Principal Signatory at every significant point.

Culligan placed his company into #Administration to protect it from its Creditors.

This can only be viewed as owing to the Insolvent manner in which it had been run under its current Directors.

There are 54 employees placed into this situation, through no fault of their own.

According to @Finextra,

"SETL was launched in July 2015 to deploy a multi-asset, multi-currency institutional payment and settlements infrastructure based on #Blockchain #Technology."
11.
"The firm has so far raised a total of $39 million in Funding over three Rounds & its backers include #Citi, #CreditAgricole, #Computershare, #S2iEM & #Deloitte."

And as per @IanAllison123 :

"The news...comes as something of a shock given that, last October, the #Startup company was granted a license by France’s securities regulator to operate a Central Securities Depository (CSD) system using #Blockchain #Tech."
13.
"Around the time @SETL_io was granted a CSD license, former @GoldmanSachs banker Philippe Morel was appointed CEO."

"Back in 2015, the firm hired former Executive Director of @BankofEngland Sir David Walker as its Chairman."
