So sounds like some Canty football folk, no doubt who are not big fans of ChCh Utd, have concluded via some rumours/Chinese whispers that Meyn has had his assets frozen by NZ Govt?? Maybe same sort of folks, who would struggle to find Ukraine on a map. Then wonder why Meyn can't be bothered giving his views on the complicated Ukraine/Russia situation - something 99% of Kiwis won't fully understand - given many folks ain't big on actual fact checking.
Maybe ChCh Utd players & staff are not getting paid, but as mentioned above by Steptoe, that's highly likely more related to Meyn having problems with SWIFT system effectively suspended for Russian banks. A very different thing.
And what is the procedure for NZ Govt freezing someone's assets in NZ? Does anyone know? Is it made public? What NZ agency does the investigating? SFO? How do you decide which rich Russians are friends of Putin, and who ain't? Good luck with that.
Doesn't seem the Russian billionaire in Northland has yet been added to the the government's new Russian travel ban list (as at 9th March). He seems a bigger target than Meyn, given protesters demonstrating near his home etc??

Doesn't seem like he's had his assets frozen, so why Meyn?
