Writer Renor Vinn has returned to a newspaper investigation claiming that he has given misleading information about his life story in his 2018 book The Soult Path.
Supervisor reported She had incorrectly presented the incidents that she and her husband lost their house and set 630 miles away. The investigation also doubted the nature of her husband’s illness. Vinen denied the allegations and said she was taking legal advice.
In a long statement posted on his website On Wednesday, Vinen responded to the claims made in the Observer in detail.
She provided documents that appeared to confirm her husband insect, the first corticobasal degeneration (CBD) was diagnosed.
She also explained how the couple came to lose their home and denied that the couple had an excellent debt.
However, Vinen admitted to making “mistakes” in his career, said that he had cheated his previous employer of £ 64,000. He said it was a pressure time.
He said, “Whatever mistakes I made during the years in that office, I regret deeply, and I really regret it,” he said, but also said that the matter was fixed on a “non-admission basis” between him and his former-judge and although he was questioned by the police, he was not accused.
BBC News has contacted a journalist who wrote an observer article for the response.
How did Renore Vinn respond to the allegations?
- Observer said that it had spoken to several medical experts, who doubted the moth known as CBD, given their long survival, lack of acute symptoms and their clear ability to reverse them.
Vinn shared pictures of the documents that appeared showing the status or symptoms of the moth, showing the medical experts showing.
A letter indicates that Moth was considered the first “an etipical form of corticobasal degeneration”, but further examination suggested that it had “even more unusual disorders, perhaps monoznetic”.
Vinen said that a CBS diagnosis does not come from a simple test, “but from a long and complex passage of observation, where the victims may have symptoms for many years, before they reach a diagnosis finally”.
He said: “We will always be grateful that the version of the CBS of Moth is indolent, its slow progress has given us time to find out how it helps him.”
Vinen said that he had documented Moth’s disease, “With such a level of honesty, that it is most unbearable in the allegations”, saying: “My books have become a record of his health.”
The salt path explained how the condition of moth improved during and later. But in his statement, Vinen said: “I have never demanded medical advice in my books or suggested that some kind of miracle can be treated for CBS, I am just fighting with my personal journey and their illness of moths, and helped them.”
- Observer said the couple did not lose their house in a bad business deal as Vinn had originally suggested, but when they were unable to repay £ 100,000, they borrowed to pay the money.
Vinen admitted to a dispute with his previous employer, but said that his friend was different from the court case described in the salt path, which he had referred to as a cooper, which eventually lost his house.
Repeating the events described in the book, Vinen said that Moth made an investment in Cooper’s property portfolio, and when the investment was due to mature, Cooper said it had failed due to low occupancy.
Vinen said that Cooper eventually promised to return the money, and the couple asked to return it in 2008. Instead, he said, Cooper offered him a loan through his company, assured against his house, with 18% interest, which he said he would cover.
But Vinen said that his company later went into liquidation without charge at his house. As a result, the author said, his house was rebuilt.
- Observer alleged that Vinn had stole £ 64,000 from her previous employer, while she was working there.
Vinen accepted working for the employer before the 2008 economic accident, saying that it was a “pressure time”.
“It was also a time when mistakes were being made in business. Whatever mistakes I made during the years in that office, I regret deeply, and I really regret it,” she said.
Vinen said that his employer had gone to the police accusing the company of taking money. “I was questioned, I was not accused, nor did I face criminal sanctions,” he said.
“I reached a disposal … because I did not have the necessary evidence to support what had happened. The terms of the disposal were voluntarily agreed by both sides.”
He said that his employer was equally eager to reach a private resolution, and the money he paid was on “non-admission base”.
- Observer said that the couple owned property in the south-west of France, but said it
Vinen said: “Whatever we have in France is a deserted ruin in a bumble patch, on the boundary of the property of the family member.
“It has missing walls, a collapsed roof, no flowing water, drainage or electricity … We never live there, it would be impossible, and we were not there since 2007.”
He said that the pair was not homeless, the central base of the book, “completely baseless”.
Vinen said that the couple tried to sell the land in 2013, around the same time when the events depicted in the book, “but the local agent said it was almost useless and not seen it in marketing”.
In the statement elsewhere, Vinen disputed any suggestion that the couple had outstanding loans, and said that the credit check would have proved this.
He said that after receiving an advance for the book and in later years, “I track my remaining loans and now believe that I have tracked and paid everyone”.
Vinen also explained why he and Moth are not known by the legal names of Timothy and Sally Walker.
The author said Vinn was his first name, and he disliked his first name of Sally and decided to use his family’s name Renore as a pen name. He also said that the insect for Timothy was low.
He denied that the couple “were hiding behind the pseudo -names” and said that their friends “Sail and Tims uses mutual with mutual ray and insect”.
