What I find interesting about the McCann case is that no one talks about the presence of Porton Down scientists and doctors at the resort that the McCanns were staying at..

I've always meant to take a closer look. Why not now? ..

It was this 2015 post that started it off for me

OC = the Ocean Club , Praia da Luz , Portugal

"the strange collection of people present in the OC during the week of 29 april to 5th May. More medical doctors than statistically one might expect"

This is a thread on the guests staying at OC

"Paul Weinberger was working for Enigma Diagnostics (part owned by the UK MoD) during his stay at the Ocean Club and he had recently relinquished his high profile role as Chair of BIVDA"

Interesting article mentioning Enigma Diagnostics and Porton Down here:

"Harvey Boulter was a go-to guy for investors seeking hot British technology start-ups. Holder of a UK security clearance, he was a gatekeeper for MoD-backed projects .."..

"His past as an aerospace banker at UBS Group AG helped convince Middle Eastern royalty, veteran business executives and disparate UK expatriates to commit some $US670 million ($983 million) to ventures marketed by Boulter’s Cayman Islands-registered Porton Capital"..

"Boulter is facing a London lawsuit by creditors from one of his most promising startups ... claims against Boulter of financial malpractice are shaping up into one of the biggest set of such allegations in the UK in years. Some are calling for an official investigation.."..

"According to the lawsuits, much of the money handed to Porton Capital never made it to the portfolio company. Some investors say that when they asked questions they were intimidated into silence. The liquidators at a Porton-backed medical-testing firm alleged that more than

half investors’ money was diverted to Boulter and his associates.. The details began emerging last year after a fireside argument at Boulter’s Namibian hunting lodge resulted in his killing the lodge manager."..

"“This shady operation redirected support that could have gone to UK companies while giving the impression that it was fully backed by the MoD ,” said John Healey, Labour Party Shadow Defence Secretary."..

"An adviser to the Saudi royal family, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Boulter portrayed himself as part of the ministry, raising money for UK taxpayer-backed firms, which is why people invested. “Where are the anti-corruption authorities?” the adviser asked."..

"Boulter began his investing career in Hong Kong in 2000 where he launched Circus Capital. It sold two products: protected growth funds tied to investments in insurers, and access to early stage ventures, incubated in some cases by the MOD .."..

"Several of the privately-held Circus Capital companies had links to British military research centre Porton Down , where Boulter had security clearance and arranged investor tours. Among them was Alaska Food Diagnostics, which focused on pathogen diseases in food.."..

"Another was microbial detection platform Acolyte Biomedica. The most popular was Enigma Diagnostics, where investors directed around £106 million ($US188 million) to back rapid testing kit prototypes.."..

"“The idea was that these were technologies that were effectively part of the structure of the MOD,” said Steve Baker, founder of Orion International, a Malaysia-based wealth manager that steered around 10 million pounds to Boulter."..

"Circus Capital had raised more than $US220 million by 2003 before the firm’s protected funds unit suffered a sudden drop in the value of the underlying assets. Hong Kong’s regulator probed how the funds were marketed, with compensation eventually paid by a wealth management firm

Circus Capital had used. Boulter emerged unscathed and moved to the United Arab Emirates where he relaunched his venture as Porton Capital.."..

"Boulter came to public prominence when he revealed a friend of Conservative Party minister Liam Fox was promoting himself as an official adviser. Fox resigned following a public outcry. He later sued Boulter for libel"..

https://twitter.com/artisbrutal2021/status/1559446713206771712

"Boulter went on to finance the failed campaign of a UK Independence Party candidate who ran against Fox in 2015 as well as a second candidate running against Conservative politician Tom Tugendhat, son of the judge who oversaw that libel case."..

"Then came the brawl last year. At a fireside confrontation with his lodge manager Gerhard Van Wyk, Boulter shot him in the abdomen. Boulter told The Daily Mail it was unintentional. A trial date has yet to be set. His investors will be watching.
