Yep...I wouldn't put it past them, Neil. Splash the cash on adverts knowing the ship probably won't make it, company goes bust...cash used for advertising is lost....yeah sound about right. Spread the assets around a bit leaving hardly a brass farthing in the honeypot for when the administrators come calling.
