EXCLUSIVE: TWO of Australia’s leading businessmen are caught up in a furore over a vicious website. The head of major car-care company UltraTune, Sean Buckley, has been accused of being linked to a campaign that forced his competitor to sell his Midas chain.
Philip Bonney, CEO and chairman of Midas, is now living in a secret place, fearing for his and his wife’s wellbeing.
Mr Buckley yesterday denied any involvement in the website.
‘There is no truth at all,’ Mr Buckley told the Herald Sun.
An associate of drug smuggler Tony Mokbel, Mr Buckley is in London to watch his champion mare Miss Andretti race in front of the Queen at Royal Ascot next week.
The campaign against Mr Bonney is being investigated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The anonymous internet site attacked Midas Asia Pacific and described Mr Bonney as a thief, a liar and a dribbling wreck.
He was accused of cheating his clients, causing the suicide death of a franchisee and being taken into custody by police.
‘It’s corporate terrorism. You don’t know who they are, but they just attack you and attack you,’ Mr Bonney said.
‘And there was nothing I could do about it.’ Read full story.
