4/ UK residents/expats by FCA made men/women & unregulated cold calling cowboys (incl. notorious offshore #QROPS ops + shady ‘EU passported in’ ops). At the heart of the UK element of the scandal was allegedly an initially unregulated op #TaylorMoor, allegedly run by a duo of …
5/ ‘lead generators’ Alistair Moncrieff & Malcolm Dixon, who allegedly pushed 3 infamous not so little numbers: #Axiom, #Quadris (international-adviser.com/isle-of-man-gr…) & #PATF (Protected Asset TEP Fund plc - maltatoday.com.mt/comment/blogs/…). The FCA’s rotten register of ‘Big Fish’ & commission/…
6/ fee greedy IFA’s were only too happy to ‘wrap’ +/or peddle these to the public. In mid 2011 Taylor Moor was authorised via the regulatory cat-flap (A.R.) by one of the FCA’s notorious ‘regulatory hotels’: Porta Verde Financial Services Ltd (given a pitiful fine “for its …
7/ A.R.’s unacceptable high pressure **Insurance** sales practices” as it’s honchos claimed poverty). Taylor Moor’s 2012 website proudly outed the FCA’s ‘Big Fish’, allegedly involved in ‘wrapping’ its ‘product’ (incl. Axiom). As the Axiom shit hit the FCA’s fan …
8/ in late 2012 after being exposed by #OffshoreAlert, the FCA blanketed the whole scandal in a ‘fog’, including Taylor Moor, which Offshore Alert alleged received ~ £1.8m in commissions from distributing the ~£120m Axiom fund. Out of this ‘FCA fog’ strode …
9/ messrs Dixon & Moncrieff to their subsequent ops. Malcolm Dixon would allegedly have a role in the #DolphinTrust (aka #GPG) $billion scandal (drive.google.com/file/d/1AEDyYd…). Alistair Moncrieff would re-up as a FCA made man amidst a bevy of lead, SEO & claims data ops …
10/ to star in a rather strange purported FCA auth insurance portal op: Life & General Ltd T/A #BeProtectedInsurance (imploded with Israeli #adtech op #MediaForce as an enormous creditor). Next on the FCA auth agenda: evaporating personal insolvency (IVA) portal ops ..
11/ Valmont Financial Ltd (Valmont Ventures Ltd) & Tomorrows MG Ltd (T/A National Debt Help etc). Meanwhile, with the #AstuteCapital PLC op it was time to play the FCA’s so called ‘listed bond’ mayhem (mirror.co.uk/news/thats-ric…), the plans for another bond (Credit Assets PLC) …
12/ allegedly evaporated with the fallout from the FCA being under a firestorm for turning a blind eye to ‘mini-bond mayhem’. Alistair Moncrieff’s latest ops: the purported whiskey cask investment op tango’ing twosome of ClicksPay Ltd & Blackford Casks Ltd doing the old …
