Guardian Unlimited Politics - Ask Aristotle: Neil Turner MP
Following an interview of Turner and an examination of what Turner claimed was his 1991 tax return, Kolar and others concluded (incorrectly) that the allegations against Turner were unfounded.
Turner repeatedly minimized the risk of loss and, contrary to his assurances that the notes were backed by collateral, many notes had no collateral, and some of the equipment leases that purportedly backed the notes were forged, altered, or multiply assigned as collateral.
He asserts that his involvement with Turner was limited to one interview; that, after August 1992, he had no indication that Turner was engaging in improper conduct; and that he should not be held accountable "in perpetuity" for all of Turner's subsequent misconduct.
