2/ “secure” investments?. Bonds promising high returns were used to fund bizarre schemes around the world’. What isn’t in the piece (but still queued up for the “curious case” treatment) is that the #LCF crew played host to Bradley Lincoln’s activities, #LCF bondholder ...
3/ victims will also recognise Mr Zhang alongside the doyen of Sussex & Kent Tory MP’s, former MP’s + former council leaders #LCF crew-mate Simon Hume-Kendall, talking turkey over the LCF crews notorious Lakeview multi recycled/rebranded “scheme”. The #LCF scandal ... Image
4/ was a mecca for the secretive networks that have operated unfettered + without fear in UK financial services while the FCA(FSA) slept at the wheel - the Cherish Chums , the Knifton Clan’s Paul “Carbon Credit” Seakens & favourite ICAEW auditors ...
5/ #ClarksonHyde (a former partner of which was #LCF end game player Whyke), the #AssetLife Minibond Crew (guess who their auditor was - LoL), the notorious #SterlingMortimer + their Cape Verde capers (+ yet another respin of Lakeview with the LCF crew) ..
6/ , Hypa Asset management [Project Kudos] crew (a hybrid of the Cherish Chums + from the shadows Intelligent Partership’s Marc Hounsell ), #GCEN (who made their bones in timeshare ops & allegedly with the Cherish chums ...

8/ (cough infamous ‘Loutish Lord’ case cough) who allegedly couldn’t keep his pants up - we’ll have to see how he’s behaved since. Dolphin Capital(GPG) victims will note their mention in Ali Hussain’s piece (The FCA’s SIPPshittery) particularly in + around the FCA’s ...
9/ notorious “Solihull SIPPshittery” - #Avacade, #Cherish, #Blackstar #LibertySIPP etc. They will also see mention when we look at the FCA’s notorious so called listed bond ops which pumped like effluent trash bonds through the FCA’s notorious DFM’s (of those not ...
10/10 busted by the FBI, many have “quietly” exploded, the @FSCS’s Ms Rainbird swooping quietly in, pecking away at the victims) + pension liberation scams (while @TPRgovuk slept at the wheel). Some particularly explosive Pension Liberation scam exposes coming in due course.

@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ As TheTimes/Guardian peddle the “play the man” spin-byte(in contrast to the Standard for eg), perhaps we should think about what Dame Gloster “DG” said about the FCA’s (FSA) impenetrable apparatchik fatcattery & it’s hundreds of thousands of victims. ImageImage
2/ DG told MPs that the @TheFCA was broken with a culture of (paraphrasing) turning a blind eye to fraud + other behaviour endemic in UK Financial Services hurting so badly the public, she went on to tell MP’s that networks operated both inside + outside of the FCA’s pitifully ..
3/ small regulatory perimeter + that the FCA refused to look outside their pitifully small regulatory perimeter. DG didn’t talk about the porous nature(A.R.’s) of the FCA’s regulatory perimeter eg its “regulatory + hedge fund hotels” which means fraudsters + ex-cons are ...

3/ prolific finance/accountancy writers/publishers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrie_Pe…. The administrators proposals outline a quite astonishing “bitch fight” in the “mysterious world of corporate insolvency” between debenture holders mounted on their chosen Insolvency Practitioners. ImageImage

@retheauditors @premnsikka @alexralph 1/ The curious case of Grandmaster Flash + The Liverpool Motley Crew. In 2019 TheTimes wrote of the notorious “SKW Investments/Imperium Enterprises” pensions liberation “scheme”, chess grandmaster Simon Williams + chess club chum the …

@retheauditors @premnsikka @alexralph 1/ The High Court case (CR-2019-001949) at the centre of the curious case of “Game On” in the mysterious world of corporate insolvency that saw tens of £millions allegedly end up transferred to the LCF crew … ImageImage
2/ (a large part allegedly directly from LCF’s payment institution account) is over. Judge Mullen found FOR the LOG administrators(Applicants)/AGAINST the #LCF crew(Respondents)+ concluded he was satisfied that the novation agreements were void (entered into without authority).
