I have so many questions, but I am going to have to cut to this one. The last time the witnesses appeared before this committee I asked about cards attached to the barter account. I was told that there were no cards attached to the barter account in any way, shape or form. I understand how payments could be made by way of invoice. We have seen that. We have seen the invoices exchanged. We have seen loads of salacious detail emerge about what was paid for on barter accounts and what was not. One of them jumps out at me, involving a small amount of money at Marco Pierre White's restaurant. They say they were not invoiced. They were not invoiced. I do not see any electronic funds transfer. How was the restaurant paid for if this was paid for out of the barter account and there are no cards attached to that account?
