               Mr Nickolas Ibbotson, Wrekin’s finance Director and Wrekin’s managing
               director, Peter Greenwood approved Wrekin’s accounts to 31 December

               2007, which included the gem as an asset worth £11 million, without
               checking the reliability or authenticity of the Italian valuation report.
               Furthermore, Ibbotson, aware of the uncertainties, told the company’s
               new auditors that £11m was a genuine market value.

               When the administrators tried to sell the ruby they found the document
               showing the £11 million valuation was a forgery and that the uncut gem

               was just a 2kg lump of anyolite, a type of brightly coloured crystal fairly
               common in East Africa and practically worthless. Moreover, a valuation
               of £11m would also mean that the gem was worth £8.4m more than any
               ruby in history.
