Reminds me of the grim choice SS Standartenführer Huth gives Detective Archer in SS-GB. "Would i be shot or hung first?" he replies.
Frankly i can only see a long drawn out process with HML under a legal cloud or an unlikely trading life under JBL with a substantial reduction in value but perhaps a quicker tax loss (if buyers ever materialise). Both grim. Both due to Director incompetence and hubris.
A disgrace.
