He didn't just use his Carphone Whorehouse shares either...

WTF did he need to borrow over 100 million in personal loans for anyway?

According to reports elsewhere, Mr Ross is a director of various companies, not just the lovely CPW, and he's had the same "misunderstanding" at several of them, ie forgetting his director's obligation to declare that he has potentially lost control over his share of the company, by using the shares as security for other bits of financial jiggerypokery.

Boris really knows how to pick his mates, doesn't he.
