Nathan Tinkler says he's no exiled, broke infirmed Skase-like entreprenuer
Nathan Tinkler, who has been involved in several legal disputes in recent times over paying debts, has advised he is not on the brink of financial collapse.
"All I will say is that tough people last, tough times don't," he told the Australian Financial Review this week.
"There's been a massive media campaign to try and ruin me ... They wanted to treat me like Christopher Skase, like I was sitting in a wheelchair puffing in a bag and owed $250 million. It is just not the case."
On Tuesday, his Ocean Street Holdings company and Mirvac subsidiary Domaine Steel settled a dispute over a $17 million payment for a Newcastle industrial land acquisition.
Earlier in October, he settled another dispute with mining services company Sedgman.
