Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Scotland HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Scotland

Bankruptcy was once a source of shame, but for some of the country's millionaire bankrupts it seems to be little more than a mild inconvenience. In this investigation, reporter Samantha Poling goes undercover to reveal the tactics being used to hide assets and retain wealth, leaving those they owe with nothing. She exposes the bankrupts making a mockery of the system and discovers serious flaws in the government's ultimate sanction for the dishonest debtor, which allows them to get away with it. Show less
