Who runs Argyll Smith?

From Berlingske Tidende, 26.3.00:

Christie Pipps is one of Tvind’s international business leaders. Through a document obtained from the national registry, ”Berlingske on Sunday” is able to prove that Christie Pipps is identical with long-time TG member, Kirsten Fuglsbjerg. According to several Tvind sources she changed her name in order to camouflage the connection with Tvind.    Furthermore, Christie Pipps has been head of the Tvind-owned Argyll Smith Co that along with other things also owns Tvind’s schools in England. 

Argyll Smith and Winestead Hall School

Winestead Hall School and the Small School at Red House in Britain paid huge rents to Argyll Smith for property and boats, but the property company's ownership by the Teachers Group was not disclosed to British financial investigators.    Rents had been vastly inflated.  It is believed the arrangement was a means of laundering money to the Channel Islands.  Winestead and Red House were closed down in 1998 because of, among other things, financial impropriety.   Full story.
