Mitchell: McCanns move funds from Madeleine Fund to another account.

[Alice Purjorick]

Mr Mitchell said: "In a common sense and practical move, they have kept some money back from the Find Madeleine Fund in case it is needed for an ongoing search."

According to Mr Mitchell then, if The Mirror is to be believed, some of it ain't in the company account ergo it's somewhere else. So in general terms, again according to Mr Mitchell , there are two funds.

You yourself speculated that it could have been ring-fenced as shown in the company accounts.  Changed your mind have you?

None

So we can only take it at face value.

I did and no. The tautology notwithstanding 
I was merely taking the Mirror article at face value in the absence of proof that it was a fabrication.

So you think the police have no duty to investigate
Don't be silly

They have.

Part of the learning curve involves taking red top articles at face value only to later discover the error of doing so.

Even taking the Mirror article at face value, there is nothing that Clarence said which states a separate fund has been set up is there?

Only one fund as always, but split into two parts, allowing funds to be reserved for search expenses only. See below.

Excerpt:
In the accounts for the year to March 2012, for the first time, Income and Expenditure was divided into Restricted and Unrestricted Funds.

Excerpt
Restricted funds
(see Note 5 on page 8) are for 'the direct costs of the search for and the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine.

Well you appear to be well off the back and have not read my earlier posts on this and the other thread on the  topic of the fund.

It is implied.

only the Mail that you often link to as it's the font of truth somehow runs an identical to the tee story to the Redtops

how are the two things linked in your view?

They happened simultaneously Alfred.
ID learning the appeal would be heard, and CM announcing the second fund.
(However there is possibly much more to it than that IMO)
