And let us never forget that Mitchell told the world that Madeleine was dead

Clarence Mitchell: "...To this day there is a very small but highly vocal minority online; the joys of the Internet. The Internet is a wonderful thing but it has its downside, as we all know. There is a very vocal but very small minority of people who believe Kate and Gerry were negligent and to this day they rail and rant against them. They are powerless, they know nothing and it... it's totally irrelevant. But we keep a... a weather eye on what they're saying and if action needs to be taken, in certain cases, then it is."

Who needs SY when we've been told by those who know exactly 'what happened?'   Telling us here that by definition there is something 'to know'!

More from the above mentioned Vanity Fair interview:

.....As the news industry trumpeted All Madeleine All the Time, and Barbara Walters and Oprah clamored for interviews, Kate’s elegant face grew more gaunt in each tabloid photo. Meanwhile, a British poll revealed that 48 percent of all respondents believed the couple could have been responsible for their daughter’s death. Only 20 percent considered them completely innocent.

“Yes, yes, I know,” Gerry says bitterly. “Kate killed her in a frenzy, Madeleine was sedated by us, she fell down the stairs—in which case you would have thought they’d have found her body. I’ve heard all that! There have been a huge number of theories in the media. But what I want to know is—who told them all that?”

(Btw the Oprah interview netted the Ltd. Co. at least a million, although the exact number cannot be found in the somewhat abbreviated accounts).

Foreign Office, secretary of state, William Vague would not confirm, or deny, that the 'team' was being led by the Met's DCI Redwood., who left Portugal earlier this morning.

"all i can tell you is that the 38 strong 'team' is being led by the UK's most 'experienced, 'abduction case' officer' he said.

"Given his tremendous success rate, in solving high profile 'abduction' cases, abroad, he is confident that he and his 'elite' team will bring about a swift conclusion and arrest the perpetrators of this 'abduction'

"he has already indentified 79,000 'suspects and persons of interest' and predicts arrests will be imminent, if the 'suspects' do not move from where they are, right now" he added.

A sauce added "this Nigerian operation will have access to 'unlimited' UK taxpayers 'funding' on a par with the 'abduction' case of Madeleine McCann, in Portugal"

A spokesman for the 'elite' team said "I cannot comment, for operational reasons"

They did get paid at least one million for appearing on Oprah.  Probably more. The references are on McCannfiles and in the January timeline iirc.
In December 07 and January 08 they were negotiating a film contract of well over a million, a documentary for which they'd get paid and the Oprah/Barbara bidding war was going on.

Confirmed either by themselves or by Mitchell who certainly gave details on the film deal for which negotiations started in December.

Oprah has categorically stated many times that she does not pay her guests.

"However, in this case I can honestly say hand on heart I have never said anything to any reporter privately, off the record, or on the record, that I believe to be untrue"

"I will help get stories out that we feel are beneficial to the search for Madeleine"

"I believe Kate and Gerry are not responsible for Madeleine's death".  

This one trick pony phoney has got as big a gob as Gerry's very own foul mouth, tigger, and he's adept at spreading a certain bovine substance, which sticks to a horse's blanket more effectively than wallpaper to a wall, to hide the the yawning gaps between what he knows to be the truth and the lies which he is handsomely paid to tell for his employers.  

Somewhere beneath Clarrie's artfully coiffed bouffant is a collection of dessicated brain cells which once formed his conscience and it remains to be seen whether they will be reconstituted when he realises the extent to which he's duped himself while he's been busy duping others.

That may be so, the reports of the bidding war were reported and never denied. The film contract was corroborated by Mitchell. i've given the references where this information can be found. Oprah can say what she likes, most likely the money was paid to the Ltd. Co. direct in which case she isn't lying. The McCs getting paid for the documentary is from their own mouths.
Do have a look in the timelines which are derived from McCannfiles. It's not hard to find.
