Just in case anyone missed the episode on Tuesday night, one i was particularly looking forward too:

Aria Taheri - Owner of Aria Computers

Although he gave away 50k and some computers etc, he has promised to donate 10% of his profits to charity, amazing.

thats because he can write it off against his tax. give to charity or give to tax man.
Either way, he wont see a penny of that 10%

Undercover in good old Sparkbrook, Birmingham's Bangladesh. I remember seeing arsonists set fire to the Aldi there

The area does need some money throwing at it for sure!

I thought he just got to write off the tax on that 10%... not the full 10% ?

(tax would be about 40% of it?)

I agree, seemed like quite a good bloke, don't know what i was expecting really, not someone has down to earth as him.
