(10/12) Mehrtash A’zami’s own Montenegro company is administered from the same small Tivat office as Yong’s casino group, Reform’s largest donor Christopher Harborne, and two other former party officials. This was the case while he was vetting donations as Reform’s treasurer.
(5/12) Yong was declared bankrupt in 2015 owing to difficulties with his mortgage lender and was barred from working as an accountant. Within a few years, he owned a Montenegro casino, a luxury flat, and a group of companies – a change in fortunes that cannot be explained by his financial history.

As we transition away from paper libraries and blueprints to digital files on software platforms that have shorter support lifetimes, our vulnerability to losing keystone knowledge increases exponentially. We have built our civilization on a house of cards.
