I must agree with you faith. The McCanns went into this fund lark promising total transparency which as we all now know never materialised. Money which was donated by the public to help find Madeleine has been squandered on all sorts of fiascos involving fraudsters and charlatans. No wonder they want to keep the finances secret.
You don't seem to see them as the victims Angelo - do you think they deliberately got scammed? I would imagine the McCanns had about as much knowledge and experience of PI's as most of the the rest of us - i.e. zilch. They would have no choice but to take the advice and direction of others who were more experienced in that field and that would inevitably involve a large degree of trust on their part - as it would with anyone.
As you will know the whole raison d'etre of a 'con artist' is to convince their intended victims that they are the nicest, most honest, genuine, trustworthy person in the world. Then they rob them. There are loads of progs. on TV about their innocent victims who were taken in because these people had gained their trust - well that's what they do don't they - set out to gain people's trust?
IMO there is no doubt that McCanns are victims, exactly the same as all other victims of [moderated]s - and yet I get the distinct impression that the McCanns
personally are going to be blamed for all this.
Maybe I'm wrong. I hope so.
