7/ Powering ‘MINIBOND MAYHEM’ was ‘Captain Careless’ & his ‘Scroogle Crew’ at #SurgeFinancial - their handiwork included being reportedly linked to the infamous high profile London Capital Finance (#LCF), #Blackmore & #MJSCapital minibond scandals (amongst others).
2/ “ … My job was to try and make a profit”, Captain Careless reportedly told the Court. However, Captain Careless’ accountant is said to have told him: it was “insane”; with such high commissions, #LCF was “unsustainable”; #LCF’s bonds would have to make returns of 55% in 2 years to pay his commission & the promised interest to investors.
7/ Inside the ‘Brighton bunker’: #Surge’s Brighton HQ. The keen eyed may well spot: #SurgeFinancial/#ViewProperty’s Shelley Pestell (who made her bones at Captain Careless’ accountant’s) & Ryan Holdaway (Captain Careless’ ‘Google guy’).
@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ #LCF mini-bond scandal: “… they are dicks. And, I'm sad to say, Andy is one of those” #SurgeFinancial’s Captain Careless is reported to have said of #LCF’s CEO Andy Thomson in the High Court earlier in the week (https://t.co/lmrQk6MHZM).
19/ Rather interestingly the court docs described #SurgeFinancial as having long term links with the #Blackmore crew, their notorious #Blackmore offshore pension op & later (likewise notorious) #Blackmore property mini-bonds. Andy Thomson in his witness statement notes being ‘hired’ by #SurgeFinancial to work on ‘property development finance for #Blackmore’.
@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ The #Blackmore mini-bond scandal & the resulting shit-show is now within a few weeks of the first of the blind eyed regulator’s (@theFCA) 6 year time bars to claims against it’s FCA made/men women (‘capital protection policy’ insurance brokers …
@TheFCA 18/ John Russell-Murphy & members of his Grosvenor motley crew were described as providing their signature ‘sales’ function via #SurgeFinancial. Court docs note Captain Careless describing John Russell-Murphy as “my new sales director”.
1/ @retheauditors @premnsikka @alexralph The curious case of the Grosvenor Motley Crew’s Baldock’s & Bothers Beal. **Part of what would have followed has been removed due to unfinished U.K. criminal court cases.** Back in the 2000’s (before New Labour’s “A-Day” wild west) ..
@TheFCA 17/ However, when #SurgeFinancial (& affiliates eg #RPDigitalservices) appeared ‘on the scene’ circa 2015/6 (with their purported ‘comparison’ websites & Scroogle crew) of the now #LCF rebranded op, the volume of #LCF mini-bonds sold increased exponentially.
5/ ‘Spencer Golding (>£42.8m); Simon & Helen Hume-Kendall (~£24.3m); Andy Thomson (~£5.3m); Elten Barker (~£5m); Robert Sedgwick (>£0.5m); #SurgeFinancial (>£60.8m [from which was paid to: Paul Careless (>£8.5m); John Russell-Murphy (~£250k)/Grosvenor Park I. I. Ltd (> £2.3m)]).’

2/ In 2022, Benjamin Beal (formerly of John Russell-Murphy’s Grosvenor motley crew) took to the High Court, claiming a share of #SurgeFinancial’s massive upfront ‘marketing/sales’ commissions IRO #LCF & several other now imploded mini-bond ops - the case seemingly quietly settled.
@ArmitageJim @premnsikka The High Court this week was treated to a soupçon of the #LCF (+ others) mini-bond scandal as Captain Careless & his Scroogle crew faced off against former Grosvenor Motley Crew-mate Benjamin Beale, over who was to snaffle the 20-30% upfront ‘commissions’
@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ #LCF Minibond scandal: the civil case continues with #SurgeFinancial (Paul Careless & Kerry Venn (née Graham), allegedly linked to multiple imploded mini-bond ops & with an alleged long association with the #Blackmore crew.
