Fraudster Rob Terry has given an exclusive interview to the Sunday Telegraph which is sheer comedy at numerous levels but shareholders in Slater & Gordon will not be laughing for Terry really kicks them in the goolies.

I’m totally gobsmacked! Is our Entrepreneurial genius inhabiting the same planet as the rest of us?
I understand even Mr Terry’s friends describe him as a ‘bit of a spiv’, probably most readers here regard Mr Terry and his achievements in somewhat harsher terms.

I think that what you have just described is a sociopath. You can put David Lenigas, Rob Terry, Tony Blair and most politicians, financiers and corporate corrupted big wigs into the same boat. What separates them from megalomaniacs is that they are all essentially incompetent failures who are very manipulative and good at disguising there shortcomings and shifting the blame onto others.
