Vale Vancouver...

On the money! Yes, she was well liked...

Update: GEOS Toronto and GEOS Montreal are both looking for Academic Coordinators. Current ones not staying to the end of the year contracts. People bailing?

Looks like the GEOS troll has runaway from here...Maybe looking for a lawyer.

Any news on the "press release"?

Kings Cross Station?

In reply to Why GEOS Melbourne Shut its Doors:

If I could just get in on a bit of this Monopoly action.....

Knowing Mr K's taste for the hookers I'm sure he had time to take a quick stop at Kings Cross Station before he went on round the board :) Maybe the only location he'll be able to afford to set up a school in the coming months will be Old Kent Road!

Damn I might even hit up Toys R Us today and get that game.

abandon any thoughts that

abandon any thoughts that there are "rules" in the business world, it's not Monolpoly.

Correction to this statement...there are rules and these are called laws, ethics and morality, terms foreign to Mr K and those around him who formulated corporate policy.

Tell Mr K it's not Monopoly....he wanted to control the entire board, be the only player. However, now that he has lost his 'Park Lane, Mayfair, Bond, and Regent Street' properties with others to follow, there is only one place left for him on the board...."Go directly to jail, do not pass GO, do not collect your 200"

Hope Mr K has his 'Get out of jail card!'

Feel the same

As a turned out GEOS Oz teacher,

Thank you for your input GEOS Oz teacher, but please look at what CPA was saying. Your views are totally subjective and I don't blame you for being angry...you have every right to be!!!! This is what CPA was alluding to when he/she referred to an objective test. We need to keep subjective opinions out of this.

I think we can safely say that Mt K took advice from no one. I am sure he did not consult with anyone when he decided to sell the building or mortgage his Gold Coast House or take a $2.95m loan in the name of Perth.

Those who made representations to third parties and they relied on these misrepresentations to their detriment may be held responsible. It is the rule of estoppel.

Directors as we know (and I

In reply to Why GEOS Melbourne Shut its Doors:

In sentence 1, substitute should for must.
In sentence 5, abandon any thoughts that there are "rules" in the business world, it's not Monolpoly.
The GEOS situation we are looking at involves 7 pty units, a mangement pty, and a holding company. We see three Directors. One is sitting in an office in Tokyo, another is working out of Sydney, another new chum is in Brisbane. All spread across a continent. Then you had bods in senior management and management positions. . Slopping around under that were a range of untrained and compliant administrative staff. In the reality of day to day GEOS Oz business, just what was going on? Who were making the decisions on a daily basis. Who was deciding what and doing what? Can we say that thee 3 Directors had their hands on all the financial wheels? This GEOS Australia debacle has the potential to be one big mess for Directors and senior management if the liquidators decide to get their teeth into it. And the problem is that you can now observe significant administration and liquidation costs mounting that need to be somehow satisfied.
Gawd, looking back on this, morass you have to ask just who was advising MrK? You almost feel sorry for him. And, entering murky waters, just what have the Australian regulating bodies been up to in recent years in terms of monitoring and understanding how companies like GEOS operate. As a turned out GEOS Oz teacher, I reckon myself rather lucky when I realise that I can absent myself from the pile of issues that will need to be resolved. Goodnight, I'm off to the pub!
