EX-BIGWIG OUT

Ex-Glitter Strip nightclub kingpin Jamie Pickering was initially involved in the controversial deal buying up Shooters’ bar equipment before backing out. His company Krysmont is listed as a party to it on an “sales contract” dated August 2016. The contract lists Shooters’ exoperating company, put in liquidation last year, as seller and Zaks Sky Pty Ltd, owned by Sin City and Bedroom boss Tim Martin as buyer. Mr Pickering, ex-owner of Bedroom before he sold it to his son last year, said Krysmont was part of the deal but pulled out: “I couldn’t use the stuff. It was no good to me in the end because I have nothing to do with the clubs so there was no point in going ahead. So I let Tim have it”.
