- It is indeed not very smart to sign a golden future out and get as big a hammer in the head afterwards. It seems as though the director has come to speak a little too much, as the seller, but may not be as regnskabskyndig, says Frank Thinggaard, professor of accounting at the University of Aarhus.

Carsten Jensen is not returned in the Additional Blade's inquiries about the large deficit.
