I'm surprised that Howard's bailing out of hi brother's company is not mentioned. I think it is notable enough. IIRC< it was quite a big topic at the time. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- I recall also that it was a big issue - lots of sources too --Matilda 07:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Add it, Blnguyen. --Lester 08:12, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

- I guess the reason that such speculation is not in the article is because John Howard was never charged with such an offence, and nobody seems to be likely to charge him. For any article, we can't speculate about court trials when the person hasn't yet been charged.
