Talk:777 Partners

IP to watch out for

This IP [1], whose three prior contributions contained one about 777 Partners, is highly likely to have a conflict of interest. The IP is from Miami, sure a lot of people are, but the behaviour is highly suspicious. This edit [2] introduces a lot of promo language and for some reason removes 777's assets outside football, as well as the fact that their investment in Sevilla is a minority holding. This edit [3] is beyond suspicious, they did the trick of adding a reference while removing others. It is highly relevant that a businessman controlling multi-million assets around the world was outed by the Brazilian media as a convicted cocaine trafficker.

We also have a user whose only previous edits were to say that 777 Partners had bought clubs, and has also removed this information and added promotional language, and just this morning an IP blanked the whole page to replace it with marketing drivel (something that Wikipedia's full-time edit reverters thought was OK). This page is a joke. Unknown Temptation (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I've added this back as every user who removed this was a single-purpose account who only ever edited things to do with 777. This cocaine conviction is relevant as it may even stop 777 owning Everton due to rules on fit and proper owners [4] Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:41, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

protect the page? MaskedSinger (talk) 11:03, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

I can't do that as I'm not an admin. It is on rare occasions that the 777 accounts remove the founder's drug conviction, so the WP:RFPP admins will say there's not enough disruption to warrant a protection, or will call it a "content dispute" despite the blatant connection the accounts have. Hopefully now 777 is in the UK news, there will be more users interested in English football who will be watching this page. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:38, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

We now have an IP from Israel saying there was no conviction, without introducing a source to that effect. The source from Globo in Brazil uses the Portuguese word for "convicted/conviction" six times. [5] The contemporary source from Red & Black mentions a no contest plea and 15 years of probation. This legal source says that no contest in Florida has the same consequences as pleading guilty [6] and it makes no sense that somebody would have their freedom limited for fifteen years if the judge didn't think they'd done anything. I thought that 777's editing of this page had thankfully stopped due to their absolute Pandora's Box of problems all over the world meaning that damage control was impossible, but I was mistaken.
