This deluded creep has made himself super rich by tricking people into giving him their money - in that great greedy Aussie tradition made popular by Bond, Skase, Foster and Henry Kaye. Some of Johnstons victims were just as greedy as he was and couldnt resist his temptations, believing his lies that if they invested in his company "Firepower" they would be super rich themselves in no time. If they'd bothered to check him out, or to find out what exactly it was that Firepower was selling, they would have realised soon enough he was a plain old con man, and the Fuel Pill that was going to revolutionise the world oil and petrol industry was snake oil. His product was tested in New Zealand ten or more years ago by the NZ Automobile Assosciation ( The Kiwi equivalent of the NRMA) and they showed it was worthless. So In Australia he claimed it had been tested on a TANK ! in Russia and on 3 taxis by some Greek woman. "Oh yeah right then it must be OK Tim, no worries heres my 250,000 " And so you might say they prove the saying that a fool and his money are soon parted. But what about the Sydney Kings basketball players? Johnston bought the Club early last year trying to impress everyone and now it has been kicked out of the League because of unpaid debts and the players who have also not been paid wages or super are unemployed and heartbroken that their proud Club has been gutted by Johnston. Read this poor guys story :http://www.smh.com.au/news/basketball/devoted-kings-dream-life-falls-apart/2008/06/12/1212863835354.html This was the Team that won the National League three years in a row.
Now to be honest I've never been a fan of that particular sport but I feel sorry for the players who've been putting everything they've got into training and preparing for their competition, and their fans who've loyally supported them over some difficult years when they first entered the competition. They've all been shafted by this bloated egotistical scumbag who is now being sued by his own lawyers - but hes left the country and isnt taking calls. So now they're looking at this $5 million mansion in Queensland which is owned by ..guess who? His wife of course..... now where have I heard that story before?
