Okay so my brothers bean causing hassle, he's lied to everyone on this, not only embarrassing himself, but also myself, the fact he got to the stage he is now without speaking to family shows how embarrassed he is, HWS plant was his pride and joy, and he wouldn't shut up about taking on this other company, from what he's saying he felt embarrassed to admit his failures, to be honest, if you'd payed every penny you had into a company that you were due to be taking ownership, and then finding out because the owners am absolute w&@£er, you would you be able to admit what had happened? I'm not saying you should forgive him immediately, but think about what you would do in his situation?
