The controversial 2010 Higgins meeting: Information for people who had no opportunity to investigate further:

1. Mazher Mahmood, editor of the newspaper and 'gangster' in the video, was known for living performing similar traps (actors and other sports stars). In October 2016, he was jailed for a year for tampering with evidence involving a singer (a victim of his traps).

2. The original video lasted 11 minutes, but they only showed 4 min.
The video has too many cuts, answers with no questions and vice versa. Moreover, they didn't keep the dialogue structure despite being professional journalists who own the raw footage. They could have excluded all moments of fear and intimidation, as well as their question about foreign properties and made us believe it was Higgins' initiative.

3. QC Ian Mill* headed a second independent investigation―the first one was led by David Douglas, former detective chief at Scotland Yard.―He had access to all original videos and audio tapes (as Douglas had). He concluded textually: "I have no doubt that the Association was right to conclude that this account by Mr Higgins was a truthful one."
His conclusion on Pat Mooney**: "he committed the most egregious betrayals of trust ".

Audiotapes revealed that Pat Mooney was aware of the 'bribery'. He said they were rich sponsors, but just before the meeting, he asked Higgins to play along if the subject of match-fixing came up.

*Queen's Counsel Ian Mill is considered an authority in sports bribery cases in Formula 1, Football Premier League and Tennis ATP, among others.

**Pat Mooney, Higgins' manager in the video, was a member of the WPBSA board at that time.

- Meeting: Friday, April 30 2010.
- Publishing: Sunday, May 2 2010, 'coincidentally' the date of the final at the Crucible.
- John Higgins at the time: 34 years old, married, two children, World N°1, reigning world champion, famous and millionaire (£5 million only in prize money―£450,000 in 2009).
