Crowdfunding the McCann's Litigation.

[faithlilly]

They are adults and therefore responsible for their actions.

I hope the McCanns have remortgaged their house already so there is no equity in it who knows

The McCanns may have no money

So they may be declared bankrupt
If there is little or no equity in the house thy will be able to keep it

Wait a year for discharge then write a million pound book
Amaral would not get a penny

You keep reiterating this alternative fact.

Amaral merely gets his own money back which was sequestered.
The McCanns pay the Portuguese court for the legal costs

exactly  faithlily   GA  didnt start  this the  mcanns did by  leaving the  kids  which  lead to maddies fate whatever that  is  and then instead of taking personal responsibility  for their  actions they blamed everybody else didnt they?

As are we all.  Sometimes we make decisions that we think are the right ones for ourselves and our families that end up having negative consequences which cause nothing but hurt for ourselves and our families.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing but most people would be sympathetic of people in such a position, not accuse them of being able to predict the outcome beforehand.

It's strange you and your fellow supporters where four square behind the McCanns in this action. That is until they lost.

One might have felt a little sympathy if they had accepted the Appeal Court judgement, but the lure of half a million euro within their grasp drove them on.

They lost Tough.

I don't think anyone on the forum is emotionally involved
The idea is quite ridiculous
There's one poster who seems very excited though

Depends very much on where he may be in the queue of those who may have a prior claim of entitlement.

He doesn't have a claim It was said that he may be liable for his lawyer's fees, but he has 50K from crowd funding for that.

The McCanns owe the state of Portugal.

Please read what I said more carefully while bearing in mind that it is highly likely that Amaral may still be paying off his tax debt to the Portuguese state.

It is possible that he is still indebted to the brother he defrauded in a property deal and there may be other creditors along the way.


I'm not entirely sure what is considered as Amaral's legal costs.  It may be that he is entitled to do what he wishes with the crowdfunding 50K etc and the rest of the donations that have kept him going over the years.

Just get over it. McCanns lost big time. Anything else is irrelevant.

No need at all to be rude ... but the fact you have been tends to illustrate the recognition that it may be over as far as Portuguese law is concerned but there are still many loose ends to be dealt with.
