And the Daily Mail reports as follows of Keith Hill's boss: Barnsley Football Club's owner made his millions by fiddling an IT firm’s accounts to mislead the stock market, a court heard today. Patrick Cryne, 61, is accused of conspiring with three colleagues at iSoft Group PLC to give an inaccurate account of how the company was performing for their own personal gain. Jurors were told that there was a 'huge discrepancy' between the accounts that were published and what they were in reality. Former chief executive Timothy Whiston, 44, of Lymm, Cheshire, and former directors Stephen Graham, 48, from Knutsford, Cheshire, and John Whelan, 45, of Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, went on trial for conspiracy today at London’s Southwark Crown Court. But Cryne, who was chairman of the IT company at the time, will be tried separately at a later date due to illness. | |
