Yeah poor Tinks, I hope he's not getting led astray by those nasty advisers. I'm sure he has no idea what his companies are doing.

On the other hand, it could be that he's built an 'empire' on debt and promises, and those chickens are starting to come home to roost. Look at Boardwalk resources - loaded up with debt, which if the stories about it are to be believed funded Tinkler's lifestyle - then he managed to get Whitehaven to take it all on board in the Aston/Whitehaven merger.

The guy tried to get too big too fast and it's going to end in tears, not for him no doubt, he'll have hidden enough away to avoid having to go back to being a sparky again, but for everyone else who was associated with him.
