If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not 

obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...

Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

 Deuteronomy 5:9 

"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."

Deuteronomy 24:16

"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."

Mr Elias was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, and trained as a barrister before embarking on a career in the City, where he worked for Wells Fargo, the American bank. According to a 2009 obituary in The Daily Telegraph, he developed store card schemes for high street retailers before launching his own scheme for petrol stations, building a fortune.Mr Elias, who spent heavily on lavish parties, Rolls-Royces and private yachts, then embarked on an ill-fated attempt to build a media empire. Through his Richbell vehicle he bought Egon Ronay’s restaurant guides and partnered Richard Desmond’s Northern & Shell to create a range of cheap magazines to distribute through petrol stations.Mr Elias also expanded into horse racing and technology. At one point he took on the disgraced former Guinness boss Ernest Saunders as an adviser, although the relationship ended acrimoniously with legal threats on both sides.Richbell collapsed in 1997 with millions of pounds in debts. Mr Elias moved to Singapore and resurrected his business group. In 2001 a warrant was issued for his arrest in London after he failed to attend a court hearing to face his creditors. He claimed a rib injury prevented him from travelling. He never returned to Britain.
