    It’s amazing, what with all the media out there these days (Twitter, blogs, news sites, TV, radio, magazines, et al), that people have such short memories. The Daily Telegraph in Britain is reporting that Bernie Ecclestone has admitted paying Gerhard Gribkowsky hush money so the German businessman wouldn’t tell the tax people in Britain about some of the things going on with an offshore trust that Ecclestone set up so his ex-wife Slavika won't have to pay through the nose when he dies.
