I've been bothered by Mark Ronson for some reason that I havent figured out yet. But I started looking into his family background and I'd like to leave some things here seeing as we're talking about Guinness...

Guinness Affair :


Ernest Saunders :

The Guinness share trading fraud was one of the most famous British business scandals of the 1980s. Guinness shares were to be inflated in order to assist its takeover by the Scottish drinks company Distillers. Ernest Saunders, Gerald Ronson, Jack Lyons and Anthony Parnes were the perpetrators of this crime. They planned to raise the share price of the Guinness in order to win the bid of takeover of Distillers. They paid out indemnities to the companies who were part of the scheme and other awards were paid to the companies that supported them in the scheme. All four were convicted of dishonest conduct of share support in the Guinness Affair.

"Mr Saunders was convicted of false accounting, theft and conspiracy, in 1990. But his five-year sentence was halved on appeal. He was released from open prison after serving only 10 months when doctors said he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, a permanent condition. At the time of his appeal, a psychiatrist said he was unable to recall three numbers backwards and did not know who was President of the United States. Mr Saunders health subsequently improved but his advisers denied he had made a "miraculous recovery" from Alzheimer's disease, suggesting instead his illness while in prison was stress-related. Mr Saunders has since carved out a lucrative consultancy career while at the same time negotiating his £75,000 annual pension from Guinness. " Also jailed were stockbroker Anthony Parnes and tycoon Gerald Ronson, head of the Heron empire, who had agreed to buy Guinness shares as part of the illegal share-support operation.

Mr Saunders was supported by the cream of the City establishment during the Distillers bid. Guinness's lawyers were Freshfields, merchant bankers Morgan Grenfell and Henry Ansbacher were also on hand, and the brokers were Cazenove, the most blue-blooded of City firms. Lord Spens was forced to resign as Chief Executive of Henry Ansbacher - but was later acquitted of fraud.

******************************** (Seeing the relations going to HItler and the Rothschilds, the blue blooded support seems easier to understand now...)
