Three thousand two hundred of this money sets up a company that will borrow the money to buy the house they claim they will build within approx 1 year. At the time of writing you have to have a company to own the land the house sits on as a foreigner in Bulgaria. One thousand two hundred of this money is supposed to be returned in to your bank account after the company is set up. This doesn’t happen! The idea is that you are then placed in an ‘allocation queue’ . Usually 300 people waiting to be allocated their lovely new detached house. When you reach the end of the que you will be allocated a property and you will obtain 70 % loan from the bank and 30% loan from the developer. The bank will value the property and this will be the purchase price.

Thursday 25 October 2007 17:47 Insolvency Service (National)BuyBulgaria limited in Hampshire closed down by High Court
A company who promoted the sale of yet to be built buy to let houses in Bulgaria has been closed down by the High Court following an investigation by the Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.
BuyBulgaria Limited ("BuyBulgaria") acted as the main UK agent for a Bulgarian property development company, Bulgaria BTL OOD ("BTL").
BuyBulgaria, operating from its trading premises in Fareham, Hampshire, started to promote the sale of proposed property developments in late 2005 on behalf of BTL. BuyBulgaria developed a sub-agent network, including overseas property sales agents to make direct sales to clients across the UK and Ireland. Clients paid a £5,000 joining fee in order to gain access to the proposed development scheme, in order for BTL to incorporate a company on behalf of the client in Bulgaria, in accordance with requirements for non Bulgarian citizens to undertake property purchase transactions, and to allow the client to join an allocation queue for yet to be built properties offered for sale by Bulgaria BTL.
BTL used a BuyBulgaria bank account to collect in its £5,000 fees from UK and Irish clients. In the 16 month period November 2005 to March 2007 BuyBulgaria had recorded over 350 sales, and banked over £1.6 million. By March 2007 no properties had been built for any known UK and Irish clients who had agreed to purchase homes in Bulgaria. BuyBulgaria acted as banker for BTL transferring money to a BTL bank account in Bulgaria.

Daily mail article;
He served time for fraud. He is barred as a director for the maximum 15 years. He has twice been declared bankrupt. And now Simon Allso has teamed up with another colourful character, Anil Kohli, who is serving a 12-year ban from corporate life.
Allso is the man who pulled the strings that plunged the historic bicycle company Sturmey Archer to its knees. He has wrecked a succession of family owned companies and his debts comfortably exceed £100,000. He is now working with Kohli on a housing investment project in Vladaja, Bulgaria, coining fees of £5,000 a time from hundreds of British investors.
He has told Financial Mail his latest venture is 'substantial and legitimate'. His UK sales agent says: 'If this was fraudulent, it would have come out after 18 or 19 months.'
But so far there is virtually nothing to show for the 200 or more investors who have paid money to Bulgaria Buy To Let (BBTL) - a business whose shareholders are Kohli and Allso's wife, Ingrid.
Since Allso hit financial trouble as a younger man, he has been accustomed to using family members to front his projects. Son-in-law Mark Sillence was, for example, the only named director of one company that in
2002 attempted to wrest control of struggling firms by wooing their directors at family lunches in a palatial 5,000 square foot villa in Cyprus with a bogus stamp of legality provided by phoney offices in a prestige block in Limassol.
Kohli, struck off as a director for 12 years until 2009, has been linked with a controversial wine investment programme aimed at wealthy Americans and run by a succession of companies ending with Ocean-Seed.
Their latest buy-to-let scheme has already pulled in more than £1m. Sign up for the chance to pay between 100,000 and 250,000 euros
(£68,000-170,000) for a property and it will, gush the ebullient sellers, come with a 100% no-questions-asked mortgage, funded from their own pockets, plus - if not a guarantee - then a very strong promise of a top-flight corporate let.
{2}
Tim Mannion, who runs BBTL's main UK agency from Fareham, Hampshire, claims there has been interest from the likes of accountancy group PricewaterhouseCoopers, Sony Ericsson and parcel giant TNT. The suggestion is that this type of organisation will provide the 'guaranteed 10% a year return' that BBTL is offering.
As far as Financial Mail can establish, none of these companies has a relationship with BBTL and Allso says only that the first year's rental is guaranteed. Since the launch of the venture in 2005 and while investors have their £5,000 at risk, no houses have been built.
Though Mannion admits the plan for at least 600 properties to be built last year was blown off course by 'planning problems', he insists 400 will be finished this year and about half will be sold to locals.
{3}
Speaking for the first time to Financial Mail, Allso said that building work on the first property started last Thursday and that he was running a 'lawful, successful business' in Bulgaria.
He claimed it was always known that clients would wait 12 months before being allocated a property and that though construction was four months behind schedule, the allocation programme was running only one month adrift and he hoped the schedule would soon catch up.
Despite those who have contacted Financial Mail with concerns, Allso
said: 'There are no client complaints outstanding.' Financial Mail knows several who put money up and are trying to get it back. Allso admitted that five out of 207 clients had cancelled and said that defamatory allegations against the business by a customer and his mother had been withdrawn and BBTL's legal costs paid.
Whether Allso's latest venture is more successful than his others, he is breaching UK regulations. He spends at least a week every month in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, working for BBTL. Though he is not a named director, if his involvement was significant enough for him to be regarded as a 'shadow director' that would breach UK rules. His trustee in bankruptcy, Mike Kienlan, had not been notified officially of any income Allso might receive from the venture, which should offset debts of more than £100,000 at the time of his latest bankruptcy.
{1}
Despite their records, Allso and Kohli may be trying to go straight with a new venture suffering teething problems in a new EU accession state. The business is riding an investment boom - Bulgaria is to buy-to-let and holiday properties what the Costa del Sol was a decade ago.
However, their scheme is unauthorised. Part of the £5,000 upfront fee is theoretically refundable, but some who tried to pull out are facing menace.
Mannion argues Allso has paid his debt to society and should be given a chance, but while £5,000 is not do-or-die for most people, some of those lining up to buy properties have handed over several lots of £5,000.
Remarkably, though Financial Mail has covered Allso's business tactics over several years and Kohli's entrepreneurial efforts are well-documented on the internet, investors still fail to check the provenance of the schemes they decide to support.

How Sturmey-Archer went East Derby International took control of Raleigh and Sturmey-Archer in 1987. In 1998 Derby Cycles Limited, then a UK-based company, became sole owner of Sturmey-Archer Limited. At this time about 40% of Sturmey-Archer's turnover came from its Engineering Component Department, which made sintered and cold forged components for the automotive and domestic appliance manufacturers. These were produced at the Triumph Road factory in the Radford district of Nottingham, opposite Raleigh's main factory and headquarters. Hub gears, hub brakes, spokes and nipples were also made at Triumph Road by the Cycle Component Department. A much smaller factory at Smethwick, Birmingham made Brooks leather saddles. By the late 1990s, about 85% of Sturmey-Archer's bicycle component production was exported, three quarters to countries on the European mainland. The biggest market was The Netherlands where there was a separate Derby-controlled sales and distribution company, Sturmey-Archer BV. In Europe, Sturmey-Archer had about 10% of the hub gear market, well below the market leader SRAM (owner of Sachs) and second-placed Shimano. Sturmey-Archer's turnover dropped steadily from £18m in 1996 to only £12m in 1999. Pre-tax profit in 1996 was £2.4m (13% of turnover), whereas in 1999 a loss was recorded of £0.3m. The rise in the value of the pound sterling against the Euro currencies had pushed Sturmey-Archer into the red. Derby's options After Sturmey-Archer made a pre-tax loss of £408,000 in 1998, Derby appointed Colin Bateman as managing director of Sturmey-Archer. He took up the post in March 1999, with a brief to assess the ongoing viability of Sturmey-Archer. Eight months later, Bateman reported to the directors of Derby that, in view of the 1998 losses and projected 1999 losses of £1.1m, he saw three alternatives:
· Invest £3.75m immediately,
· Consider the viability of ongoing trading, or
· Sell the land and/or business.
Derby opted for selling. Colin Bateman and Sturmey-Archer's financial director and company secretary, Paul Smith, investigated the options. On 17th December 1999, Sturmey-Archer agreed to sell its site at Triumph Road, Nottingham to Nottingham University for £3.75m. The site was then leased back to Sturmey-Archer for a year to permit relocation of the factory. Nottingham University wanted the site for the £20m National College for School Leadership. Relocation and the search for a new owner Bateman and Smith promptly started a search for separate sites to relocate the Engineering Component and Cycle Component Departments. They also commissioned Manro Consultants to advice on optimizing Sturmey-Archer's profitability. They discussed further outsourcing of manufacturing processes, involving buying in components from Taiwan, with estimated cost savings of 30% and a consequent reduction of about 100 in the workforce. The estimated cost of relocation, excluding the real estate costs, was £4m. This included £1.5m to move the Cycle Component Department, about £0.7m to move the Engineering Components Department and £1.5m for workforce redundancies. Derby considered these costs to be too high. They therefore commissioned a firm of corporate financial advisers, Oasis Europe Limited, to seek potential buyers who would continue manufacture in Nottingham. Meanwhile, a possible management buy-out of the Engineering Components Department was mooted. Most potential buyers merely wanted to 'cherry-pick' certain parts of Sturmey-Archer, especially the name and/or patents. Sturmey-Archer was developing an eight-speed hub, which was of particular interest. Sun Race of Taiwan made a serious offer to buy Sturmey-Archer which would have left some jobs in Nottingham. Their offer was, however, contingent on Sturmey-Archer achieving forecasted sales figures and could not therefore be finalized quickly. Derby, however, were under great pressure from their American investors to reduce debt and the Chase Manhattan Bank required a quarterly progress report. Sale to Lanark One company put forward by Oasis, Lanark Limited, was prepared quickly to buy the whole business as a going concern, complete with all existing and contingent liabilities. The price Lanark offered was lower than that proposed by Sun Race but was more acceptable to Derby because it got rid of debt by the end of the second quarter of 2000, when their American investors had to report to their bankers. Lanark, formed in 1998 and registered at 33a High Street, Heath field, East Sussex, appeared to Derby to be a sound investment firm. It ran four divisions containing about 17 companies. Consequently, on 24th June 2000, Derby sold Lanark The Wright Saddle Company Limited for a nominal sum, believed to be £30. This was slightly less than the retail price of a basic Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub gear. The Wright Saddle Company was a dormant subsidiary of Sturmey-Archer, incorporated in the 1937 and wholly owned by the hub-gear maker. Six days later, on 30th June 2000, Derby transferred the assets and liabilities of Sturmey-Archer into The Wright Saddle Company and its name was changed to Sturmey-Archer Limited. Simultaneously, the former Sturmey-Archer Limited became Derby Cycle Corporation Limited, apparently on the advice of Derby's tax specialists. This was a normal and legal tax avoidance move and should not be construed otherwise. About the same time, and with little or no publicity, Derby Nederland’s sold the profitable European sales and distribution operation Sturmey-Archer Europe BV, based in Amsterdam, to the now Lanark-owned Sturmey-Archer Limited. The sale price was 3m Dutch guilders (about £0.8m) and was in the form of a loan from Derby to Lanark. The directors of Sturmey-Archer Europe BV, which had about seven staff, were Colin Bateman and Paul Smith, the MD and finance director/company secretary of Sturmey-Archer Limited. The deals seemed to benefit everybody. Sturmey-Archer's managing director Colin Bateman said, "For the first time in a long while there is room to invest in production, marketing and product development." Lanark and relocation By this time the financial backers of the suggested Engineering Component Department management buyout had withdrawn. However, they had already found a new factory site and left a completed relocation plan. Lanark’s business adviser, Simon Also, who fronted negotiations for Lanark throughout, suggested therefore that Lanark should also take over the Engineering Component Department. Lanark’s directors assured Colin Bateman and Paul Smith that they would fund the relocation. On 1st July 2000, two non-executive directors were appointed to the Sturmey-Archer board but with little day-to-day involvement. In both July and August, Sturmey-Archer paid its new parent company, Lanark, £60,000 in management fees. Sturmey-Archer also paid £52,000 to another Lanark Group company, Hanson Limited. According to the liquidator's report, Simon Also persuaded Mary Warring, one of the new non-executive executors to authorize this payment, advising her that Sturmey-Archer directors Bateman and Smith had approved it. They had not and were not even aware of the transaction. It later emerged that Simon Also, a former bankrupt, had previously been involved in a large number of business failures in southern England and had been imprisoned for fraud. By mid-August, all the directors of Sturmey-Archer were starting to have concerns about the relocation, as Lanark had yet to provide any funds for this purpose. Negotiations were under way for freehold premises to recourse the Cycle component Department at Calverton, near Nottingham and there was also the site that the failed management buy-out had targeted for relocating the Engineering Components Department. In anticipation of the relocations, which needed to be complete by the end of 2000, stock levels had been increased and additional shifts worked. Lanark proposed that they buy the Calverton site and sublet it to their subsidiary Sturmey-Archer. But at the same time, Lanark wanted Sturmey-Archer to provide them with the purchase money! The proposed agreement between the two companies was never formalized. The financial situation worsens Pinch came to shove when a 10% deposit of £75,000 was needed for the Calverton site. Sturmey-Archer, having recently paid other parts of the Lanark Group £172,000, did not have the money and was expecting Lanark to provide the funding - one of the reasons Sturmey-Archer was sold by Derby so cheaply. Lanark, however, made it clear that they would not be providing the funds. Meanwhile, the landlords of the proposed relocation site for the Engineering Components Department were not happy with Lanark’s financial status and therefore refused to sell. As the situation looked bleaker and bleaker, the board of Sturmey-Archer held an urgent unscheduled meeting with Lanark on 11th September 2000. Lanark were represented solely by Clive Walton, who held a fifth of the shares in Lanark. He stated that he supported the directors of Sturmey-Archer and left the meeting ostensibly to enlist the support of the other Lanark directors. It is reported that some people at the meeting thought Walton had merely left the room for a cigarette break. In reality, he left the building and with effect from that date, resigned his directorship of Lanark. Closure The Sturmey-Archer board were now concerned as to their company's ability to continue trading. They therefore called in insolvency practitioners Smith and Williamson. These advised that, lacking the substantial funding needed to relocate, Sturmey-Archer could not avoid insolvent liquidation. Thus, on Friday 15th September, the first day of the annual IFMA cycle show in Cologne, Sturmey-Archer staff manning the company's stand heard of the insolvency. Closure of the Nottingham plant was announced to its 260 staff the same day. The Independent newspaper reported a long serving employee saying, "The whole workforce is devastated. It is terrible. I have worked here for 42 years and couldn't believe it when we were called into this meeting and told our jobs had gone. The firm says it could no longer afford to pay our wages and asked us all to leave the premises immediately." The same paper quoted Sturmey-Archer 's managing director, Colin Bateman: "This is a sad day for bicycle manufacturing in Nottingham, not to mention for all the staff that work here. We feel very let down. It is a devastating blow." For a time, 28 volunteers stayed on in the factory working on final assembly and packaging. Education and Employment Secretary David Blunkett, responding to an approach from Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson, offered to provide practical and financial help to the company. The East Midlands Development Agency considered buying the new site for Sturmey-Archer and renting it back to them. Sadly these offers did not come it time to prevent Sturmey-Archer's liquidation. Trade Secretary Stephen Byers promised to investigate the circumstances of the closure but at the time of writing (December 2001) does not appear to have published anything. On 22nd September 2000, Derby issued the following press release: Sturmey-Archer In connection with our sale of Sturmey-Archer to Lenark in June of this year there has been much rumour and public comment generated. We share this disappointment and would like to share what we know. We decided to seek a buyer for the business as it did not fit our strategic focus on the manufacture and distribution of bicycles and accessories. It was essential for the viability of the business that a buyer be found without delay who was willing to invest in the patented innovation which Sturmey-Archer had prototyped and to relocate to a new site: the best offer was made by Lenark. In carrying out due diligence on the capability of Lenark to make a success of Sturmey-Archer, evidence was produced showing that they appeared to have more than sufficient resources to undertake the plans the management of Sturmey-Archer had initiated to make a success of the business. We were just as surprised and concerned as anyone that it now appears that Lenark is unable to fund Sturmey-Archer, and this has forced it to enter into insolvency proceedings: we are both a customer and creditor and will suffer from their insolvency along with others in the same position. We understand that an insolvency practitioner has been appointed by the management of Sturmey-Archer to advise them through this period until a meeting of creditors next month determines the future of the business: we sincerely hope that a buyer for the business can be found. We are very distressed that so many Sturmey-Archer employees who served loyally for many years under our ownership of the business will lose their jobs if a buyer cannot be found. One of the few newspapers to report the crisis at Sturmey-Archer in any detail was The Mail on Sunday. On 24th September its reporter Lisa Buckingham revealed that two other firms owned by Sussex-based Lenark had just gone into liquidation and that a further four were days away from the same fate. Gary Matthews, chief executive of Derby, protested to The Mail on Sunday his surprise that Sturmey-Archer was facing ruin: "We understood Lenark to be a robust investment firm. They were represented by top-flight counsel." Matthews also claimed that Derby carried out "the appropriate due diligence" to ensure Lenark were up to the mark. However, as the newspaper reported, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) revealed that Simon Allso was declared bankrupt in 1992 and had been linked with at least eight insolvencies. Lenark director Barry Robinson was reportedly a professional gambler based in Las Vegas. The Mail cited the Experian credit rating firm, which described Lenark's financial position as weak, with current assets of just £48,000 at the end of the year to May 1999 and liabilities of £600,000. Creditors' meeting On Monday 2nd October, creditors of Sturmey-Archer arrived in Birmingham for a meeting of about 50 people which was expected to place the company in liquidation. Jeremy Lewis and James Stack, on the This is Nottingham website, reported the events in graphic detail. Attendees discovered that control of Sturmey-Archer had changed. Lenark had sacked the management team just two hours before the meeting. The new directors, Barry Robinson and his associate Alan Brigham, wanted to avoid liquidation and instead intended applying for an administration order in the High Court the following Friday. The meeting was therefore redefined as an informal meeting of creditors rather than a formal creditors' meeting. The meeting started without Barry Robinson, who arrived ten minutes late. Delegates demanded the freezing of Sturmey-Archer's bank account with Barclays at Walton-on-Thames, from which a further £25,000 had recently been taken by Lenark making a total taken of some £192,000. They also succeeded in getting Lenark to reconsider the application for an administration order, arguing that without a substantial injection of cash, it would be pointless so late in the day. Freshly-sacked former managing director Colin Bateman argued that placing the company in administration would be a disaster: it would delay redundancy payments to the workers by many months, and it would lose the company customers who would go elsewhere. The meeting was heated. At one stage, a departing Sturmey-Archer manager, Alan Ettles, asked Barry Robinson, "What has changed to make you believe it is worth investing in? Have you come for a bit more of the cake? The crumbs that are left? What are you after?" Robinson replied, "We are trying to save Sturmey-Archer. ... We want to save as many jobs as possible." Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson asked why Lenark had not approached the DTI or the Department for Education and employment for assistance with the relocation to Calverton. He also asked for the financial guarantee that Lenark gave to Derby to be published. Derby's corporate controller, Simon Goddard, reiterated the company's stance that it had undertaken "due diligence" via a firm of financial advisers. Gary Matthews, chief executive of Derby, had told The Mail on Sunday that Wragge and Co. did the due diligence on Lenark. But Wragge and Co. denied this at the meeting, saying it was done by Oasis Europe, the company that made the Derby-Lenark match. Oasis subsequently denied this, leaving suspicions that nobody did the due diligence, despite what may have been believed by those involved. Tony Murphy of Sturmey-Archer's insolvency practitioners Smith and Williamson, pointed out that three Lenark companies were in liquidation, another in receivership and a fifth might well go into liquidation following a creditors' meeting in a week's time. Derby had insolvency practitioners at the meeting, partly because Lenark still owed them about £0.8m for the purchase of Sturmey-Archer Europa BV. Hence, Derby too was keen for immediate liquidation. Also present was George Hu of Sun Race USA, wearing a black shirt emblazoned with his company name. Plainly his company still wanted Sturmey-Archer. New Sturmey-Archer MD Barry Robinson was given fifteen minutes by the meeting to consider his options. This he did and announced, through Tony Murphy of Sturmey-Archer's insolvency practitioners Smith and Williamson, that the bank account would be frozen and that Lenark would underwrite the cost of investigating the benefits of putting the company into liquidation. David Stott, an engineering manager with Sturmey-Archer, successfully demanded that the meeting not be allowed to break up until it had been confirmed that the bank account was frozen. Liquidation By the end of the week, Barry Robinson, having twice visited the Nottingham factory, had decided that there was no way a rescue could be arranged using Sturmey plant as collateral. Therefore administration was no longer an option. Derby chief executive Gary Matthews then said that Derby might be interested in buying some of Sturmey-Archer's bicycle related divisions, but nothing came of this. So, Sturmey-Archer went into liquidation. The directors attributed its failure and the loss of some 300 jobs to the lack of financial support from Lenark. They considered that, apart from the necessity to relocate and costs associated with this, the company remained a fundamentally viable business. Assets were estimated to realise £3.7m. These included a 100% shareholding in Sturmey-Archer Europa BV, valued at £0.75m; machinery and equipment valued at £1.1m and stock worth £1m. The company had a deficit of £2.3m. The largest category of creditors was the employees. Their claims in lieu of notice and redundancy pay amounted to nearly £3.3m. In early November 2000, as liquidation of Sturmey-Archer proceeded, the management team of Brooks saddles paid the liquidators £1m and thus saved the Smethwick, Birmingham operation. Brooks exported 85% of its production to more than 180 countries and was established in Birmingham about 1870. The plant employed about 20 staff. An anonymous 'UK bike trade individual' financially supported the acquisition. The new managing director of Brooks was Gordon Nixon. He had been the Brooks factory manager and the two-day a week personnel manager for Sturmey-Archer. Auctioneers FD Savills auctioned the Sturmey-Archer factory equipment. A sale preview was held on Monday 11th December. The equipment included three Liebergeld cold-forging presses, said to be worth more than £100,000 each. The largest weighed about 1,000 tonnes. The full list of equipment is given below this article. Sun Race buy Sturmey-Archer On the day of the auction preview, 11th December 2000, the following press release was issued by Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co. of Taiwan: From the Office of The President, Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., is pleased to announce the following: Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., a public traded company on Taiwan Stock Exchange, one of the largest global manufactures of bicycle drivetrain components of 28 years, one of the key players in the bicycle industry in North and Latin Americas and Asia, has just completed a deal with Sturmey-Archer Ltd., the producer of the 98 years old Sturmey-Archer branded bicycle internal gear hubs, the "original" inventor of the internal gear hub system. The deal will give Sun Race a strong foothold into the European market. This purchase completes Sun Race as one of the three total bicycle drivetrain solutions provider in the same league next to Shimano and SRAM. Total investment on the purchase, to bring production back, and to develop new products for introduction in 2002 will be around Three and a Half Million US Dollars (USD$3,500,000.00). The North American operations will change the name from Sun Race USA to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer USA. The European operations will change the company name from Sturmey-Archer (Europa) BV to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Europe BV. The parent company Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., will change the company name to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc. Sun Race's China operations will be renamed as Sun Race Sturmey-Archer (WuXi) Industries. It is Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc.'s intention to continue with the 98 years old Sturmey-Archer Brand which has traditionally been associated with high end. With the back up of the newly added engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities of Sun Race, Sturmey-Archer products will continue and expand to a full Internal Gear Hub Drivetrain Group consist of Shifters, Brake Levers, Chainwheel Crank Sets, Chains, and Internal Gear Hubs with Drum and Coaster Brakes. Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc. will market the Derailleur Drivetrain Groups, which consist of Shifters and Brake Levers, Front and Rear Derailleurs, Chainwheel Crank Sets, Freewheels and Cassettes, Hub Sets, and Multiple Speed Chains under the Sun Race Brand. The production of Sturmey-Archer hubs and service parts will continue from Sun Race Taiwan factory. The move will make Sturmey-Archer Products much more competitive than before. Production will start January 2001 with resume shipping dates of late March, early April 2001. And for the year 2002, celebrating the Century Mark of 100 years on Sturmey-Archer, Sun Race Sturmey-Archer will introduce a very special surprise based on the patent pending technology.

Another nail in the coffin of market repute
4 March 2007
The only surprise at the criminal fraud charges brought against 13 Wall Street traders last week was that the American authorities had actually investigated and decided to prosecute one of the most pervasive insider-dealing rings since the days of trader Ivan Boesky.

As small shareholders know to their cost, despite the panoply of regulation and market scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic, insider dealing remains rampant. It rarely manages to find its way into the courtrooms. And even when it does, convictions are notoriously difficult to secure.
The arrival of the private equity megadeal has made things, if anything, harder to control. A consortium of two or three private bidders with respective advisory entourages means keeping a prospective takeover move under wraps is about as likely as making a safe crossing of the M1 with your eyes shut.
Research by the Financial Services Authority this time last year into takeover bids in the first four years of the new millennium revealed that there was a degree of 'informed trading'-insider dealing - ahead of a stunning 29% of takeovers.
Things may have improved since then. When the FSA gives an update on its research into later years, taking into account a rather more mature enforcement regime, it will be hoping such systematic market abuse shows signs of reduction.
It is easy to look at the latest example of abuse in New York, which could be characterised as tipping off a few mates before a share recommendation was issued by a 'respected' broking house, and regard it as a victimless crime. It is estimated that the 13 netted 'only' about £8.5m between them - not enough to keep most self respecting American chief executives on the payroll for a year.
As usual, though, the victims are private shareholders. They are not on the inside. Their trust in a financial services system that has already served up mis-selling scandals and rip-offs on a monumental scale is further eroded each time such scandals are exposed.
Marks & Spencer boss Stuart Rose was last week depicted as a Gerald Ratner-style gaffe-maker for having admitted he had considered the idea of a bid for Sainsbury's.
His comments, made on the fringes of a retail conference, ran on the Bloomberg newswire for a few hours as the M&S board and its advisers frantically worked out a wording that would see off the more officious watchdogs of the Takeover Panel while appearing to leave open the possibility of bidding under practically any foreseeable circumstance. The only prospect apparently ruled out was a hostile, cash bid.
I've no doubt Rose has looked at Sainsbury's. He will be sorely tempted if a private equity bidder comes along. But possibly last week's blunder was a little more strategic than it at first appeared.
M&S's barely dampened acquisitive possibilities served to pump Sainsbury's share price higher - not as high as a mooted venture capitalist would have to pay - but certainly towards the levels at which a bid of 550p a share (the mooted price from the private equity predators) would struggle to offer much in the way of a bid premium.
Justin King is doing a very creditable job of turning round the supermarket group. There is a suspicion, however, that he might, just might, do even better if the rich rewards of private equity ownership were his for the taking.
And as the Sainsbury's middle-market customers are bang in the middle of M&S's target audience, Rose would almost certainly be happier with King simply firing on six cylinders, rather than supercharged.
Simon Allso, whose colourful career has been documented over the years by Financial Mail has once again hoved into view. Recently emerged from bankruptcy order number two and disbarred as a UK director, he has teamed up with another boardroom outlaw, Anil Kohli, to mastermind buy-to-let housing in Bulgaria.
Allso has hit the investment zeitgeist. Bulgarian property is flavour of the month for those with a few hundred thousand euros to spend. Blue-chip companies will want to rent properties for their employees and there may well be a strong aftermarket for sales to local people.
It seems remarkable, however, that two men who misbehaved badly enough to prompt action from the notoriously somnambulant Department of Trade and Industry can persuade people to hand over £5,000 on trust for the (possible) chance to buy a house for up to 250,000 euros.
At least Allso and Kohli got caught and their record is there to see for anyone with sufficient intelligence. But as ICC Credit - a leading credit reference agency - said following our story of cutbacks in the Insolvency Service, the future could mean that 500 rogue directors a year escape scot-free. And the people they try to persuade to invest will have no record to search.

I don't see how building work can be done at all for 400 houses, do they think people are stupid? where in Vladaja can they fit 20 houses let alone 400? Vladaja is a small place, it is a great place though, i would say it is the safest place to live in Sofia and very accessible to the centre and to the ring road. the people are friendly and public transport is really good. it is very strange that the locals know nothing about it. My friend she went into her local shop in Vladaja when they opened this morning and asked if they had heard about this project, they laughed and thought she was joking, when she announced she had heard the plan was true, the man whom is well known and respected in the area, oh he has lived there all his life, thinks someone must be mistaken or some developer is not telling the truth as Vladaya is just to small for this type of type of project. owners of local shops normally know what is going on in their area don't they? should anyone have further info on this, i would be greatful if they could let me know.

· Invest £3.75m immediately,
· Consider the viability of ongoing trading, or
· Sell the land and/or business.
Derby opted for selling. Colin Bateman and Sturmey-Archer's financial director and company secretary, Paul Smith, investigated the options. On 17th December 1999, Sturmey-Archer agreed to sell its site at Triumph Road, Nottingham to Nottingham University for £3.75m. The site was then leased back to Sturmey-Archer for a year to permit relocation of the factory. Nottingham University wanted the site for the £20m National College for School Leadership. Relocation and the search for a new owner Bateman and Smith promptly started a search for separate sites to relocate the Engineering Component and Cycle Component Departments. They also commissioned Manro Consultants to advice on optimizing Sturmey-Archer's profitability. They discussed further outsourcing of manufacturing processes, involving buying in components from Taiwan, with estimated cost savings of 30% and a consequent reduction of about 100 in the workforce. The estimated cost of relocation, excluding the real estate costs, was £4m. This included £1.5m to move the Cycle Component Department, about £0.7m to move the Engineering Components Department and £1.5m for workforce redundancies. Derby considered these costs to be too high. They therefore commissioned a firm of corporate financial advisers, Oasis Europe Limited, to seek potential buyers who would continue manufacture in Nottingham. Meanwhile, a possible management buy-out of the Engineering Components Department was mooted. Most potential buyers merely wanted to 'cherry-pick' certain parts of Sturmey-Archer, especially the name and/or patents. Sturmey-Archer was developing an eight-speed hub, which was of particular interest. Sun Race of Taiwan made a serious offer to buy Sturmey-Archer which would have left some jobs in Nottingham. Their offer was, however, contingent on Sturmey-Archer achieving forecasted sales figures and could not therefore be finalized quickly. Derby, however, were under great pressure from their American investors to reduce debt and the Chase Manhattan Bank required a quarterly progress report. Sale to Lanark One company put forward by Oasis, Lanark Limited, was prepared quickly to buy the whole business as a going concern, complete with all existing and contingent liabilities. The price Lanark offered was lower than that proposed by Sun Race but was more acceptable to Derby because it got rid of debt by the end of the second quarter of 2000, when their American investors had to report to their bankers. Lanark, formed in 1998 and registered at 33a High Street, Heath field, East Sussex, appeared to Derby to be a sound investment firm. It ran four divisions containing about 17 companies. Consequently, on 24th June 2000, Derby sold Lanark The Wright Saddle Company Limited for a nominal sum, believed to be £30. This was slightly less than the retail price of a basic Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub gear. The Wright Saddle Company was a dormant subsidiary of Sturmey-Archer, incorporated in the 1937 and wholly owned by the hub-gear maker. Six days later, on 30th June 2000, Derby transferred the assets and liabilities of Sturmey-Archer into The Wright Saddle Company and its name was changed to Sturmey-Archer Limited. Simultaneously, the former Sturmey-Archer Limited became Derby Cycle Corporation Limited, apparently on the advice of Derby's tax specialists. This was a normal and legal tax avoidance move and should not be construed otherwise. About the same time, and with little or no publicity, Derby Nederland’s sold the profitable European sales and distribution operation Sturmey-Archer Europe BV, based in Amsterdam, to the now Lanark-owned Sturmey-Archer Limited. The sale price was 3m Dutch guilders (about £0.8m) and was in the form of a loan from Derby to Lanark. The directors of Sturmey-Archer Europe BV, which had about seven staff, were Colin Bateman and Paul Smith, the MD and finance director/company secretary of Sturmey-Archer Limited. The deals seemed to benefit everybody. Sturmey-Archer's managing director Colin Bateman said, "For the first time in a long while there is room to invest in production, marketing and product development." Lanark and relocation By this time the financial backers of the suggested Engineering Component Department management buyout had withdrawn. However, they had already found a new factory site and left a completed relocation plan. Lanark’s business adviser, Simon Also, who fronted negotiations for Lanark throughout, suggested therefore that Lanark should also take over the Engineering Component Department. Lanark’s directors assured Colin Bateman and Paul Smith that they would fund the relocation. On 1st July 2000, two non-executive directors were appointed to the Sturmey-Archer board but with little day-to-day involvement. In both July and August, Sturmey-Archer paid its new parent company, Lanark, £60,000 in management fees. Sturmey-Archer also paid £52,000 to another Lanark Group company, Hanson Limited. According to the liquidator's report, Simon Also persuaded Mary Warring, one of the new non-executive executors to authorize this payment, advising her that Sturmey-Archer directors Bateman and Smith had approved it. They had not and were not even aware of the transaction. It later emerged that Simon Also, a former bankrupt, had previously been involved in a large number of business failures in southern England and had been imprisoned for fraud. By mid-August, all the directors of Sturmey-Archer were starting to have concerns about the relocation, as Lanark had yet to provide any funds for this purpose. Negotiations were under way for freehold premises to recourse the Cycle component Department at Calverton, near Nottingham and there was also the site that the failed management buy-out had targeted for relocating the Engineering Components Department. In anticipation of the relocations, which needed to be complete by the end of 2000, stock levels had been increased and additional shifts worked. Lanark proposed that they buy the Calverton site and sublet it to their subsidiary Sturmey-Archer. But at the same time, Lanark wanted Sturmey-Archer to provide them with the purchase money! The proposed agreement between the two companies was never formalized. The financial situation worsens Pinch came to shove when a 10% deposit of £75,000 was needed for the Calverton site. Sturmey-Archer, having recently paid other parts of the Lanark Group £172,000, did not have the money and was expecting Lanark to provide the funding - one of the reasons Sturmey-Archer was sold by Derby so cheaply. Lanark, however, made it clear that they would not be providing the funds. Meanwhile, the landlords of the proposed relocation site for the Engineering Components Department were not happy with Lanark’s financial status and therefore refused to sell. As the situation looked bleaker and bleaker, the board of Sturmey-Archer held an urgent unscheduled meeting with Lanark on 11th September 2000. Lanark were represented solely by Clive Walton, who held a fifth of the shares in Lanark. He stated that he supported the directors of Sturmey-Archer and left the meeting ostensibly to enlist the support of the other Lanark directors. It is reported that some people at the meeting thought Walton had merely left the room for a cigarette break. In reality, he left the building and with effect from that date, resigned his directorship of Lanark. Closure The Sturmey-Archer board were now concerned as to their company's ability to continue trading. They therefore called in insolvency practitioners Smith and Williamson. These advised that, lacking the substantial funding needed to relocate, Sturmey-Archer could not avoid insolvent liquidation. Thus, on Friday 15th September, the first day of the annual IFMA cycle show in Cologne, Sturmey-Archer staff manning the company's stand heard of the insolvency. Closure of the Nottingham plant was announced to its 260 staff the same day. The Independent newspaper reported a long serving employee saying, "The whole workforce is devastated. It is terrible. I have worked here for 42 years and couldn't believe it when we were called into this meeting and told our jobs had gone. The firm says it could no longer afford to pay our wages and asked us all to leave the premises immediately." The same paper quoted Sturmey-Archer 's managing director, Colin Bateman: "This is a sad day for bicycle manufacturing in Nottingham, not to mention for all the staff that work here. We feel very let down. It is a devastating blow." For a time, 28 volunteers stayed on in the factory working on final assembly and packaging. Education and Employment Secretary David Blunkett, responding to an approach from Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson, offered to provide practical and financial help to the company. The East Midlands Development Agency considered buying the new site for Sturmey-Archer and renting it back to them. Sadly these offers did not come it time to prevent Sturmey-Archer's liquidation. Trade Secretary Stephen Byers promised to investigate the circumstances of the closure but at the time of writing (December 2001) does not appear to have published anything. On 22nd September 2000, Derby issued the following press release: Sturmey-Archer In connection with our sale of Sturmey-Archer to Lenark in June of this year there has been much rumour and public comment generated. We share this disappointment and would like to share what we know. We decided to seek a buyer for the business as it did not fit our strategic focus on the manufacture and distribution of bicycles and accessories. It was essential for the viability of the business that a buyer be found without delay who was willing to invest in the patented innovation which Sturmey-Archer had prototyped and to relocate to a new site: the best offer was made by Lenark. In carrying out due diligence on the capability of Lenark to make a success of Sturmey-Archer, evidence was produced showing that they appeared to have more than sufficient resources to undertake the plans the management of Sturmey-Archer had initiated to make a success of the business. We were just as surprised and concerned as anyone that it now appears that Lenark is unable to fund Sturmey-Archer, and this has forced it to enter into insolvency proceedings: we are both a customer and creditor and will suffer from their insolvency along with others in the same position. We understand that an insolvency practitioner has been appointed by the management of Sturmey-Archer to advise them through this period until a meeting of creditors next month determines the future of the business: we sincerely hope that a buyer for the business can be found. We are very distressed that so many Sturmey-Archer employees who served loyally for many years under our ownership of the business will lose their jobs if a buyer cannot be found. One of the few newspapers to report the crisis at Sturmey-Archer in any detail was The Mail on Sunday. On 24th September its reporter Lisa Buckingham revealed that two other firms owned by Sussex-based Lenark had just gone into liquidation and that a further four were days away from the same fate. Gary Matthews, chief executive of Derby, protested to The Mail on Sunday his surprise that Sturmey-Archer was facing ruin: "We understood Lenark to be a robust investment firm. They were represented by top-flight counsel." Matthews also claimed that Derby carried out "the appropriate due diligence" to ensure Lenark were up to the mark. However, as the newspaper reported, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) revealed that Simon Allso was declared bankrupt in 1992 and had been linked with at least eight insolvencies. Lenark director Barry Robinson was reportedly a professional gambler based in Las Vegas. The Mail cited the Experian credit rating firm, which described Lenark's financial position as weak, with current assets of just £48,000 at the end of the year to May 1999 and liabilities of £600,000. Creditors' meeting On Monday 2nd October, creditors of Sturmey-Archer arrived in Birmingham for a meeting of about 50 people which was expected to place the company in liquidation. Jeremy Lewis and James Stack, on the This is Nottingham website, reported the events in graphic detail. Attendees discovered that control of Sturmey-Archer had changed. Lenark had sacked the management team just two hours before the meeting. The new directors, Barry Robinson and his associate Alan Brigham, wanted to avoid liquidation and instead intended applying for an administration order in the High Court the following Friday. The meeting was therefore redefined as an informal meeting of creditors rather than a formal creditors' meeting. The meeting started without Barry Robinson, who arrived ten minutes late. Delegates demanded the freezing of Sturmey-Archer's bank account with Barclays at Walton-on-Thames, from which a further £25,000 had recently been taken by Lenark making a total taken of some £192,000. They also succeeded in getting Lenark to reconsider the application for an administration order, arguing that without a substantial injection of cash, it would be pointless so late in the day. Freshly-sacked former managing director Colin Bateman argued that placing the company in administration would be a disaster: it would delay redundancy payments to the workers by many months, and it would lose the company customers who would go elsewhere. The meeting was heated. At one stage, a departing Sturmey-Archer manager, Alan Ettles, asked Barry Robinson, "What has changed to make you believe it is worth investing in? Have you come for a bit more of the cake? The crumbs that are left? What are you after?" Robinson replied, "We are trying to save Sturmey-Archer. ... We want to save as many jobs as possible." Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson asked why Lenark had not approached the DTI or the Department for Education and employment for assistance with the relocation to Calverton. He also asked for the financial guarantee that Lenark gave to Derby to be published. Derby's corporate controller, Simon Goddard, reiterated the company's stance that it had undertaken "due diligence" via a firm of financial advisers. Gary Matthews, chief executive of Derby, had told The Mail on Sunday that Wragge and Co. did the due diligence on Lenark. But Wragge and Co. denied this at the meeting, saying it was done by Oasis Europe, the company that made the Derby-Lenark match. Oasis subsequently denied this, leaving suspicions that nobody did the due diligence, despite what may have been believed by those involved. Tony Murphy of Sturmey-Archer's insolvency practitioners Smith and Williamson, pointed out that three Lenark companies were in liquidation, another in receivership and a fifth might well go into liquidation following a creditors' meeting in a week's time. Derby had insolvency practitioners at the meeting, partly because Lenark still owed them about £0.8m for the purchase of Sturmey-Archer Europa BV. Hence, Derby too was keen for immediate liquidation. Also present was George Hu of Sun Race USA, wearing a black shirt emblazoned with his company name. Plainly his company still wanted Sturmey-Archer. New Sturmey-Archer MD Barry Robinson was given fifteen minutes by the meeting to consider his options. This he did and announced, through Tony Murphy of Sturmey-Archer's insolvency practitioners Smith and Williamson, that the bank account would be frozen and that Lenark would underwrite the cost of investigating the benefits of putting the company into liquidation. David Stott, an engineering manager with Sturmey-Archer, successfully demanded that the meeting not be allowed to break up until it had been confirmed that the bank account was frozen. Liquidation By the end of the week, Barry Robinson, having twice visited the Nottingham factory, had decided that there was no way a rescue could be arranged using Sturmey plant as collateral. Therefore administration was no longer an option. Derby chief executive Gary Matthews then said that Derby might be interested in buying some of Sturmey-Archer's bicycle related divisions, but nothing came of this. So, Sturmey-Archer went into liquidation. The directors attributed its failure and the loss of some 300 jobs to the lack of financial support from Lenark. They considered that, apart from the necessity to relocate and costs associated with this, the company remained a fundamentally viable business. Assets were estimated to realise £3.7m. These included a 100% shareholding in Sturmey-Archer Europa BV, valued at £0.75m; machinery and equipment valued at £1.1m and stock worth £1m. The company had a deficit of £2.3m. The largest category of creditors was the employees. Their claims in lieu of notice and redundancy pay amounted to nearly £3.3m. In early November 2000, as liquidation of Sturmey-Archer proceeded, the management team of Brooks saddles paid the liquidators £1m and thus saved the Smethwick, Birmingham operation. Brooks exported 85% of its production to more than 180 countries and was established in Birmingham about 1870. The plant employed about 20 staff. An anonymous 'UK bike trade individual' financially supported the acquisition. The new managing director of Brooks was Gordon Nixon. He had been the Brooks factory manager and the two-day a week personnel manager for Sturmey-Archer. Auctioneers FD Savills auctioned the Sturmey-Archer factory equipment. A sale preview was held on Monday 11th December. The equipment included three Liebergeld cold-forging presses, said to be worth more than £100,000 each. The largest weighed about 1,000 tonnes. The full list of equipment is given below this article. Sun Race buy Sturmey-Archer On the day of the auction preview, 11th December 2000, the following press release was issued by Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co. of Taiwan: From the Office of The President, Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., is pleased to announce the following: Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., a public traded company on Taiwan Stock Exchange, one of the largest global manufactures of bicycle drivetrain components of 28 years, one of the key players in the bicycle industry in North and Latin Americas and Asia, has just completed a deal with Sturmey-Archer Ltd., the producer of the 98 years old Sturmey-Archer branded bicycle internal gear hubs, the "original" inventor of the internal gear hub system. The deal will give Sun Race a strong foothold into the European market. This purchase completes Sun Race as one of the three total bicycle drivetrain solutions provider in the same league next to Shimano and SRAM. Total investment on the purchase, to bring production back, and to develop new products for introduction in 2002 will be around Three and a Half Million US Dollars (USD$3,500,000.00). The North American operations will change the name from Sun Race USA to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer USA. The European operations will change the company name from Sturmey-Archer (Europa) BV to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Europe BV. The parent company Sun Race Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., will change the company name to Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc. Sun Race's China operations will be renamed as Sun Race Sturmey-Archer (WuXi) Industries. It is Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc.'s intention to continue with the 98 years old Sturmey-Archer Brand which has traditionally been associated with high end. With the back up of the newly added engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities of Sun Race, Sturmey-Archer products will continue and expand to a full Internal Gear Hub Drivetrain Group consist of Shifters, Brake Levers, Chainwheel Crank Sets, Chains, and Internal Gear Hubs with Drum and Coaster Brakes. Sun Race Sturmey-Archer Inc. will market the Derailleur Drivetrain Groups, which consist of Shifters and Brake Levers, Front and Rear Derailleurs, Chainwheel Crank Sets, Freewheels and Cassettes, Hub Sets, and Multiple Speed Chains under the Sun Race Brand. The production of Sturmey-Archer hubs and service parts will continue from Sun Race Taiwan factory. The move will make Sturmey-Archer Products much more competitive than before. Production will start January 2001 with resume shipping dates of late March, early April 2001. And for the year 2002, celebrating the Century Mark of 100 years on Sturmey-Archer, Sun Race Sturmey-Archer will introduce a very special surprise based on the patent pending technology.

LISA BUCKINGHAM, FINANCIAL MAIL EDITOR
Another nail in the coffin of market repute
4 March 2007
The only surprise at the criminal fraud charges brought against 13 Wall Street traders last week was that the American authorities had actually investigated and decided to prosecute one of the most pervasive insider-dealing rings since the days of trader Ivan Boesky.

As small shareholders know to their cost, despite the panoply of regulation and market scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic, insider dealing remains rampant. It rarely manages to find its way into the courtrooms. And even when it does, convictions are notoriously difficult to secure.
The arrival of the private equity megadeal has made things, if anything, harder to control. A consortium of two or three private bidders with respective advisory entourages means keeping a prospective takeover move under wraps is about as likely as making a safe crossing of the M1 with your eyes shut.
Research by the Financial Services Authority this time last year into takeover bids in the first four years of the new millennium revealed that there was a degree of 'informed trading'-insider dealing - ahead of a stunning 29% of takeovers.
Things may have improved since then. When the FSA gives an update on its research into later years, taking into account a rather more mature enforcement regime, it will be hoping such systematic market abuse shows signs of reduction.
It is easy to look at the latest example of abuse in New York, which could be characterised as tipping off a few mates before a share recommendation was issued by a 'respected' broking house, and regard it as a victimless crime. It is estimated that the 13 netted 'only' about £8.5m between them - not enough to keep most self respecting American chief executives on the payroll for a year.
As usual, though, the victims are private shareholders. They are not on the inside. Their trust in a financial services system that has already served up mis-selling scandals and rip-offs on a monumental scale is further eroded each time such scandals are exposed.
Marks & Spencer boss Stuart Rose was last week depicted as a Gerald Ratner-style gaffe-maker for having admitted he had considered the idea of a bid for Sainsbury's.
His comments, made on the fringes of a retail conference, ran on the Bloomberg newswire for a few hours as the M&S board and its advisers frantically worked out a wording that would see off the more officious watchdogs of the Takeover Panel while appearing to leave open the possibility of bidding under practically any foreseeable circumstance. The only prospect apparently ruled out was a hostile, cash bid.
I've no doubt Rose has looked at Sainsbury's. He will be sorely tempted if a private equity bidder comes along. But possibly last week's blunder was a little more strategic than it at first appeared.
M&S's barely dampened acquisitive possibilities served to pump Sainsbury's share price higher - not as high as a mooted venture capitalist would have to pay - but certainly towards the levels at which a bid of 550p a share (the mooted price from the private equity predators) would struggle to offer much in the way of a bid premium.
Justin King is doing a very creditable job of turning round the supermarket group. There is a suspicion, however, that he might, just might, do even better if the rich rewards of private equity ownership were his for the taking.
And as the Sainsbury's middle-market customers are bang in the middle of M&S's target audience, Rose would almost certainly be happier with King simply firing on six cylinders, rather than supercharged.
Simon Allso, whose colourful career has been documented over the years by Financial Mail has once again hoved into view. Recently emerged from bankruptcy order number two and disbarred as a UK director, he has teamed up with another boardroom outlaw, Anil Kohli, to mastermind buy-to-let housing in Bulgaria.
Allso has hit the investment zeitgeist. Bulgarian property is flavour of the month for those with a few hundred thousand euros to spend. Blue-chip companies will want to rent properties for their employees and there may well be a strong aftermarket for sales to local people.
It seems remarkable, however, that two men who misbehaved badly enough to prompt action from the notoriously somnambulant Department of Trade and Industry can persuade people to hand over £5,000 on trust for the (possible) chance to buy a house for up to 250,000 euros.
At least Allso and Kohli got caught and their record is there to see for anyone with sufficient intelligence. But as ICC Credit - a leading credit reference agency - said following our story of cutbacks in the Insolvency Service, the future could mean that 500 rogue directors a year escape scot-free. And the people they try to persuade to invest will have no record to search.

I don't see how building work can be done at all for 400 houses, do they think people are stupid? where in Vladaja can they fit 20 houses let alone 400? Vladaja is a small place, it is a great place though, i would say it is the safest place to live in Sofia and very accessible to the centre and to the ring road. the people are friendly and public transport is really good. it is very strange that the locals know nothing about it. My friend she went into her local shop in Vladaja when they opened this morning and asked if they had heard about this project, they laughed and thought she was joking, when she announced she had heard the plan was true, the man whom is well known and respected in the area, oh he has lived there all his life, thinks someone must be mistaken or some developer is not telling the truth as Vladaya is just to small for this type of type of project. owners of local shops normally know what is going on in their area don't they? should anyone have further info on this, i would be greatful if they could let me know.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 746 Newer› Newest»I am sorry I cannot agree with your casting of Danny Devito as Simon Allso. I had Verne Troyer (Mini Me in the Austin Powers film) in mind, same build and height.
Re last posting, we have it covered, thank you.
Both actors have likable personalities, charm , intelligence, this wouldnt be an easy role for either of them.
Just got back and opened my e-mails and found out the most brilliant information and idea from my solicitor - thanks to you Phil
Apparently it is 100% legal to use another name for offering consultancy advice or for business services much as Cherie BLAIR at home is Cherie BOOTH at work!!
How great is that? As all I have to do is be Simon Smith or whatever at work and Simon Allso to friends and family and all 100% legal with no paperwork!!
Amazing isn't it and such a simple and FREE way to totally defeat your silly and annoying harassment and defamation as all new clients will search on Google for Simon Smith or whatever name I choose to be and find none of your lies!!
Made my day to know that whatever rubbish you write cannot be detrimental any more to future business either here or abroad!!
So thanks for all you have done to make me seek out a way to get around the hassle of your harassment in my business life
I just wish I had done it years ago!!
Until the your victims/customers sign a contract with you and discover who you really are. Lets be honest Mr Allso you are screwed, even you are admitting as much on this blog not one sane person would do business with you if they were aware of your less than honest history.
Just had a quick chat with a colleague apparently there is a name for the type of business practise your "lawyer" has suggested, its called FRAUD, should sound familiar to you.
Mr Allso has made an astonishing admission in his last posting, he is admitting that people do not want anything to do with him, of course he tries to blame this on everyone else except himself, after all it was Mr Allso that committed acts of criminal fraud and other numerous offences that have made him an untrustworthy business partner and not the comments made by people on various forums, a simple case of cause and effect Mr Allso.
Passenger (Phil)
You are clearly wrong
Read carefully and slowly
How Many Names Can a Person Have?
In the UK, it is lawful to have as many names made up in whatever way, as a person wants. They
can be combined, they can be separate. They can be a professional name, typical of artists and
many professional women, e.g. Mrs Cherie Blair and pay tax on her writing, Mrs Cherie Booth can
pay tax on her work as a barrister, but she will have only one personal tax allowance.
To be named Frances David Beckham Jones is as equally lawful as going about your business as
Frances Jones in your florists shop, and David Beckham when you put on your football kit at the
weekend. We could change Frances’ name to Francis and suddenly we have an apparent gender
change. Francis the man with a florist shop, and David the Sunday morning footballer does not
seem that strange an idea to us, as Frances the woman and David the man. But both are perfectly
within the law.
In recent discussions with Government over ID cards, it was accepted that there would be a need
for some people to carry more than one ID card, for example Bob Smith the plumber and Hey Presto
his weekend alter ego, the magician.
Not at all
I just wanted a CHEAP way of defeating Phil's silly Blogs that come up on Google
Easy legal way to avoid the hassle!!
Well Phil the Passenger I have at least managed to command £4,000 a DAY in fees for my advice and undoubedly will continue to do so - but a bit easier from now on!! Thanks
I still have the SAME network of contacts that I have for 25 years plus who understand there are idiots out there like you that TRY and cause mischief with defamation
I even put my TRUE background out in the public domain - what is annoying is the lies that you tell
Now I have an easy way to avoid it with a Professional name and a Serviced Office
So simple and SO effective as it saves explaining all the crap written that simply is not true!!
The UK Law allows me to use as many names as I want to
There is no 'fraud' or crime in that and AS NORMAL I will disclose my ACTUAL background anyway as it is never a problem
What the problem is that idiots like you write untrue allegations - people read them and then I have to explain you are an idiot etc. etc.
Gets annoying after a while
This way, whatever is written about me has no effect whatsoever on business matters and it is only family and friends who would even notice it maybe.
They have all stopped believing what is written YEARS ago since the MOS started writing their silly stories
So all in all a great easy and cheap solution to dealing with Internet and published rubbish without having to get it stopped!!
What is your problem with that Phil?
A bit defeated perhaps that all your writing and effort will fall on deaf ears?
I am flattered that you think I am passanger, perhaps that is your keen mind working overtime again.
I never realised that I could write that well.
I work on planes, planes have passengers, I am passenger, you are certainly worth that £4000.
I wonder why a business would pay all that money just to bankrupt ?
Are you able to point out which part of this blog is crap, you being imprisoned for fraud, you being banned twice as a director, you causing the collapse of many small businesses ?
Do you still believe that you can build 10 houses in a week ?
Do you believe that I started this blog, or the bulgarian lawyer blog ?.
I think you have been missing your medication
Phil the Passenger
Just to say that you have NO idea who I know for 25 years plus and it just show what a stupid person you are to even write such a silly comment
How could anyone BUT ME know who I know and who I deal with?
I am off home so I will make this a quickie, there is not one item of truth in anything you say Mr Allso.
Fraudulently trading under an assumed name sounds typical of your business ethic (or lack of). You are attempting a futile damage limitation exercise but you are to late, you have been exposed for what you really are, an untrustworthy ex con with some pretty ghastly crimes associated with your name, you are finished, washed up exposed and untrustworthy.
No one in their right mind would knowingly get involved with you, you rely upon chance, ignorance and stupidity in people to survive, might have worked well in the past but the world has changer Mr Allso and you are living under a spotlight.
Phil Passenger
Who cares what you are called now - you have still tried to be a nuisance
I certainly will NOT now be 'living under a spotlight' either as a search of my new business name will reveal NOTHING
And all perfectly legal!!!!!!!!
Fantastic!!
SO now I don't care who you are because there is a simple and easy way around your lies and posts and can just have fun replying if I feel like it
Good luck searching through all the Smiths out there to try and cause problems!!
But if you DO find me then there are all the other names to choose from!!
I suppose it will give you something to do
I am glad you are so upbeat and glad to share your brilliant new plan.
Are you going to be changing Mrs Allsos name aswell.
Phil
Can't believe you are desperate enough to see if Lisa Buckingham will write an article after the article she wrote about YOU last time!!
What you seem to forget is that your Blogs and articles by Lisa Buckingham are only damaging to Simon Allso
By using a professional name from now on the problem is mitigated
I already have one PCC complaint active with MOS and another 8 pending
The purpose of the MOS writing an article would be to say Simon Allso is using another name - watch out!!
Trouble is without the new name it would be pretty pointless as no one would know how many Smiths were or were not me!!
IF they printed I was using another name they will have to show EVIDENCE of wrongdoing or the PCC will be all over them
Even you must get the point!!
What people read about Simon Allso is now only going to be of minor amusement to friends and family
That was my objective - to minimise the hassle of negative publicity in business and NOT to deceive anyone. I am not hiding my TRUE past to anyone whatever name I choose to use in business
Anyway now I have found the simple answer so am not too bothered what is written anymore
My wife does not need a business name Phil as she has no business in the UK at present and enjoys a happy retirement!!
Fun this isn't it?
so you are the director of smartway ?
Wonder what happens if I now start blogs in YOUR name Phil as I don't have to worry about mine now
Let's start with
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1197541/I-didnt-think-I-committing-crime.
Lets hope the workforce at that very large company in the Thames Valley does't see it hey
I will only put the TRUTH about YOU though Phil - thats the difference
Smartway is NOT a company Phil
Do your homework at least
Companies House web search is the place to start
even you must realise that with a bank loan of £300,000, money swindled from the allocation queue you cannot legitimately offer 200 investors 300 houses in bulgaria in a year
Wasting you time now Phil on old old ground that has been answered a dozen times
All I will do is a 'stock' answer from now on as I have Blogs to write on YOu for once to see what happens when YOUR name is out there and how that effects YOU
Lets see
£4000 a day, I heard they are a lot cheaper to hire in soho.
£4000 a day, I heard they are a lot cheaper to hire in soho.
You clearly know the price of a tart in Soho then Phil so I will add the post to YOUR Blog for you
Phil your very OWN Blogger site as you told me that Blogger is the BEST and ALWAYS top of Google searches!!
http://philg93yrt.blogspot.com/2010/09/phil-fraudster.html
Feel free to Post on that one as I will for sure
I was talking about business consultants mr allso
why you still bothering with this blog, if you are setting up a new identity, doesnt make sense.
Do you find my losing £70000 to your disgusting company amusing do you. Do you find it funny that I cannot give my children what they deserve in life.
Now, after deceiving me out of my money, with the company you set up, you want more do you allso.
You are the most vile person I have ever encountered.
I'm going to do a stock reply on this blog to publicise YOUR Blog site Phil - no other reason
http://philg93yrt.blogspot.com/2010/09/phil-fraudster.html
What I find amusing is YOU not the problem you have with BBTL
But that is what you need to take up with them and not me personally
You made it VERY clear this was personal against ME Phil and you would do everything you could to stop me in ANY business that I tried to conduct
Now it is YOUR turn to see what that feels like
But you can always use another business name at work I suppose as I have had to to stop people reading lie after lie
Lets see what the Avionics Industry think of your antics shall we?
You were keen to use the Internet against me so lets use it on you
Simon,
you lied to me in March 2007, not BBTL.
you simon
companies do not commit crimes, people within those companies commit crimes.
when you left the company in 2007, it was virtually pennyless.
you had done the damage, you had planned the 100% finance deal, you had involved agents, you were the main instigator.
Do you think the avionics industry cares if I was mislead by another agent promising 100% finance.
I notice how brave you are, but run to the police at the thought of meeting me in person.
Hi I am following this at home and I would like to make the following and rather obvious point.
In order for a website, forum or blog to become popular it needs an audience. Unlike a blog about Simon Allso I would assume that no one would read a blog about philg93yrt. Nor would I assume he has a criminal record, or that he is an ex jail bird like Mr Allso, in short all you are doing Simon is harassing someone, I would think it enough to land you in court if a report is made to the police.
As I mentioned earlier today Simon Allso is washed up, finished the tone and content of his postings today substantiate this and I must say as a relative newcomer to this case, what a pathetic figure he cuts as he writes more and more desperate replies to postings that he can not answer. The blog he claims to have started is an act of total desperation. He is not very good at concealing his feelings, make my task a hell of a lot easier.
Phil
I went to the Police because you were and are committing a crime in Harassment
It is what law abiding people do - go to the Police when there is some idiot threatening to come around and cause trouble
Having a criminal conviction for breaking the Companies Act 15 years ago does not make me a criminal Phil however much you say it
IF I was NOT a law abiding guy I would have come to YOUR house a LONG time ago and you would have written no more.
I worked on a Night club door for 3 years and did martial arts for 7 years, so not too many people frighten me Phil when they have knocked on my door years ago!!
Luckily for you - I just resort to the law even though having once been on the wrong end of that system I have great respect for it
Hello Phil Passenger
So a 'professional' working from home suggesting he / she / it is 'investigating' me in some way?
Well the problem with that is simple
IF that were true then IF some 'official' starts any proceedings against me the IP address of 'Passenger' will be traced by Court Order to see which 'official' has been writing this fro which computer
Hey presto - no case
Reality is that no one 'official' in any way would write a Blog because they would get caught and get the sack (as have plenty before them in Government)
Worth a thought?
Anyway
Off out to dinner so blog away Phil / Passenger /who ever else
I like this "Having a criminal conviction for breaking the Companies Act 15 years ago does not make me a criminal Phil however much you say it"
No but going to prison for FRAUD does.
This one is a classic "It is what law abiding people do"
The only thing Mr Allso knows about law abiding people is how to extract money from them.
On a more sinister note "IF I was NOT a law abiding guy I would have come to YOUR house a LONG time ago and you would have written no more"
that can despite it being carefully worded be interpreted as a THREAT.
Would you do that personally, or would you hire someone ??
Lastly "I worked on a Night club door for 3 years and did martial arts for 7 years, so not too many people frighten me Phil when they have knocked on my door years ago!!"
A lot of criminals started off as bouncers and doormen Mr Allso is no exception.
As a matter of fact you can not trace my IP. This blog is hosted from the US, so sorry chum that one will not work. Secondly I hide my IP via a proxy server.
I was wondering why Mr Allso would think that I, or an official government department would be investigating him, as he is a law abiding citizen with nothing illegal to hide this would not happen, would it Simon. I find his apparent FEAR of investigation fascinating and worthy of an investigation.
I think Mr Allso is worried that I am working from home, just to put your mind at rest Simon, all I said was I was following this at home, there I hope you feel a little less stressed.
Fear not you will be in court Simon and I think it will be sooner than you think, enjoy your freedom while you can.
As I said yesterday Mr Allso sees shadows everywhere, one minute I am someone on this blog the next an MI5 spook who knows by tomorrow I will have turned into his wife, do you trust her Simon?
Hi simon
I will be visiting the blog about me, I am working on my new site, dont worry, it is not about you.
Ingrid Allso, once i have seen the content, I will know how to write about her.
I wondered what the retired ingrid did to earn the money from the allocation queue.
I didnt realise the smurfs had a doorman.
Simon
Since the beginning, I have asked for one simple thing, if the 100% finance scheme is genuine, show us how. Give an explanation, give a financial breakdown.
You call yourself a business analyst or consultant, shouldnt this be your job ?
You always avoid this issue, instead talking about how everyone lies, how we are all stupid, how you are badly written about, how it bores you etc.
To show me up, to show that you are a man of integrity , able to put together a legitimate business plan, this is all you have to do. This is all I have ever asked for.
and yet you refuse, why is that ?
why do you always turn the conversation away from the 100% finance scheme. I tell you why, because it doesnt make sense.
it is a scam, set up by you, not a company you.
You took my familys money, under false pretences and then distributed amongst your disgusting associates and family
Hey passanger
this is what simon Allso calls a business plan : 10 houses a week,
his previous estimates stated that 1 house was starting a day, after a year they had started about 12.
think simon needs to invest in a calculator
The timescales went longer purely because of planning delays beyond the control of the company which, again, you have been told many times.
The Building Contractor employed at Vladaya had committed to producing 10 houses per WEEK if required so when the statement was given to that effect it was perfectly possible.
That does NOT mean that the whole plan is not viable - just delayed.
No one had money 'invested' in a specific plot and consequently there is no timescale contractually
That does NOT mean I do not think you have a valid complaint - just there is nothing I can do about it.
Believe me, WE would not have started the business of developing property if anyone KNEW what would start happening in 2007 to the market in general!!
Simon Allso

On the trail of Simon Allso
FINANCIAL Mail has been swamped with calls and emails after our report on controversial businessman Simon Allso, who has appealed against the Department of Trade & Industry's compulsory liquidation of some of his companies.
I am particularly grateful to those who pointed out that Allso and close associates Colin Parker and Robert Turner are now using several companies under the Buzwell Management umbrella to acquire other businesses. Buzwell, formed in July 2003, had an expansive website expounding its philosophy. The site has mysteriously disappeared, but we would like to hear from anyone who has had dealings with Buzwell or Allso's former vehicle, Rodencroft.
http://www.mybulgaria.info/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=19894&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=14
There is a common occurance to what Simon writes, when lying, he capitalises the statement, in his mind, this probably adds some credability to a BS statement.
'WE ARE STARTING ONE CONSTRUCTION A DAY'
'THE CONTRACTORS HAD COMMITED TO BUILDING TEN HOUSES A WEEK'
'SIMON ALLSO HAS NOT BEEN IMPRISONED FOR FRAUD'
'SIMON ALLSO IN FACT ONE THE APPEAL'
well the list goes on
GADFLY'S old chum Simon Allso, we hear, is sufficiently recovered from the heart attack that made him abandon his Bulgarian buy-to-let venture to return to British business. As customers try to recover their [pounds sterling]5,000 deposits from Anil Kohli, his colleague in the oddly-fruitless Balkan enterprise, Allso, pictured, is, as they say, 'moving on'.
A Midlands-based corporate adviser suggests he wants to buy businesses, and we learn his wife ingridhas founded a franchise outfit called Smartway, which lets companies hire vehicles, rather than buy them, and put their logos on the side.
With Allso apparently involved in its running, what can possibly go wrong?
ALLSO stop press: one potential Smart-way franchisee has paid his [pounds sterling]1,000 deposit but is worried by delays with the vehicles. Nonsense, says Allso, who adds that the business will soon get new owners. Their identity is a mystery, not least to XL-Print, the firm contracted to put the logos on Smartways cars.
Morning Phil (Passenger)
Please confirm you are still at Turing Drive as I now have enough to gain Injunctive Relief against you and want to make sure the papers are served correctly so you can have your day in Court explaining all the stuff you have written to a Judge

Good Morning Bloggers. This is a truly great day, cant say more just yet.
Regarding Mr A's latest threat, it is I can assure you utter rubbish it is the last posturing of a washed up con man on his last legs, he is finished, exposed and living under one hell of a public spotlight. This guy cant cheat anyone else without the world and the authorities hearing about it.
I am in and out of meetings today but will dip in if i can
Just want to point out mr allso, I did not start this blog, or the bulgarian lawyer blog, which dominate the search engines, and you were the first to name me on this blog.
I am not the person responsible for you going to jail, for the destruction of so many company businesses, for the loss of 1.5 million for 200 investors.
Actually, I only started one blog, which you sabotaged, which was for the 200 investors that lost money to the 100% finance scam.
and now you are going to try and escape your history so you can bring the same fate to more companies such as BBTL, in a flap, sturmen archer etc.
oh of course, you set up a company and then it is not you, but the company

Before I go. Simon please define defamatory. Well I can on your behalf and I will put it in very simple language so you will understand it.
It requires someone to transmit, publish a lie or a non truth, as an example to say Mr Simon Allso is an ex con, has served four years in jail for criminal fraud has been responsible for asset stripping numerous firms, is currently banned from being a company director, you must understand Mr Allso that is all documented fact and can be mentioned legally, it is perfectly legal to talk truthfully about an individual or company.
Trying to intimidate an individual as you are is not legal.
Passenger
Yes that is simple enough for me AND you to understand defamation
Unfortunately for Phil I have NOT been jailed for 'fraud' so just repeating what is wrongly written by another is no excuse in court as we will see
I am quite content to just let a Judge decide whether or not Injunctive Relief is granted against our Phil
If it is I will publish the Order for all to see and take it from there
Phil has every chance of defending the action and will have his day in court but clearly it does not bode well that he has already undertaken in writing with the Police to cease such action yet continues
It is certainly more than enough to issue the proceedings as is the 900 plus e-mails and Blogs in evidence so far
Maybe he can call Passenger as his witness?? That should make his case solid.
I will be happy to be called as a witness, it is something of a speciality of mine.
I have on my desk a copy of the court transcript relating to your trial and subsequent term in jail, it say very clearly that your were sentencing to four years in prison for fraud. The words FRAUD and CONVICTION keep cropping up as do the words GUILTY and PRISON SENTENCE, yep you were found guilty of fraud and given a four years as a consequence.
what were you jailed for ?A legal website stated that you set up companies as vehicles for fraud.
If you see , a majority of my emails / posts have been asking one thing.
Can you give us an explanation of how the 100% finance scheme was to work,
You tell us you are a business analyst or consultant.
Can you not see why I question this
the figures
BBTL had a bank loan for £300,000
The banks require a cash deposit of 30%
on the bbtl website it clearly states, building work will be limited so that clients do not wait more than a year.
In a press conference, which you gave in June 2007, you stated that Vladaya and Petarch , required an investment of 24 million, and that is for 100 houses.
So, as a business analyst, or consultant, can you please explain how BBTL were to complete their targets.
Even two years into the project, when Simon allso was director, BBTL ignored requests from me to chance the synopsis on the website,
which is highly, highly misleading,
and certainly not in keeping with the law abiding citizen you like to portray
The information coming from BBTL, when you was director, stated that BBTL was building Petarch and Vladaya at the same time.
The original projections was that it would take 12 months to go from planning to completion of property shell. Two years later you had increased this to 16 months,
My argument at the time was if this was the case, shouldnt we b seeing houses, of course Simon allso disagreed, total nonsense.
Tim mannion assured us that BBTL had the land , planning permission and finance to complete 400 houses by the end of the year, Simon Allso again reinforced this dillusion with a posting on a forum, under the name of BBTL.
You then tried to explain that the contractors had committed to building 10 houses a day.
and the finance simon, quite important dont you think ?
So Simon
As a £4000 a day consultant, you believe that
we had land and some money in the bank, that is sufficient justification to promote that BBTL could build 300 houses in a year, with 100% non status finance, despite two years of development that proved otherwise.
Will any of your agents stand by you and support you with this thinking ?
I must apologise to Simon Allso
I now believe him to be correct in what he says and clearly Phil George is using this site to issue defamatory comments
Mr Allso is posting in my name folks, pathetic.
I will be happy to be called as a witness, it is something of a speciality of mine.

Excellent
TOTAL confusion!!
Which is the REAL Passenger though?
Isn't the Internet a wonderful tool when you have an expert to sort it all out!!
Now someone else is posting in my name
Sorry but this guy is really out to lunch.
Mr Allso grow up man, what are you some kind of retard?

Someone here is damaging my professional reputation
I have made a public apology to Simon Allso as required
Hi passenger,
I wondered what was going on there for a minute.
You will see that Simon Allso, in all this time, cannot put forward a business plan.
A £4000 a day business consultant, and all I have ever asked for is a business plan.
any imbicile can see that BBTL had nothing, Simon Allso lives in his own dillusional world, in which he believes he was not jailed for fraud.
Quick question simon, we will keep it simple for you,
how many sales did you need to make on the 100% finance scheme to have sufficient cash to complete vldadaya, and do you think it is at all unethical offering all those people 100% finance and a property within 12 months ?
You guys are in serious disarray
Amusing though
Hi Phil
I seriously suggest that you too apologise to Simon Allso as I have done
Mr Allso appears to have the intellect of a child. I have a group of co-workers watching this play out and we are having great fun. I have not encountered such childish behaviour from an adult before it is highly amusing.
Just to recap Mr Allso you are an ex con, convicted in the high court for criminal fraud and given a four year prison sentence, you have forces countless companies into bankruptcy and it is alleged your actions drove an innocent individual to suicide. Morally bankrupt hardly fits the description of you does it Mr Allso.
By the way I AM NOW AWAY FROM MY DESK UNTILL 4PM ANY POSTINGS IN MY NAME FROM NOW ON ARE FROM MR ALLSO.....TTFN.
I am outraged
I am not away from my desk until after 4pm at all and will carry on posting if I want to
We are in disarray,
really,
I look forward to the court appearance. We can show this as evidence. We can see that you are a £4000 consultant with the mind of a five year old, with learning difficulties.
I imagine that Ingrid is currently spoon feeding you your breakfast while you are watching teletubbies
"I am a big boy arnt I"
why are you not concentrating on your new business venture as mr simon smith.
This is SO funny!!!
you are funny
Phil
What are you going to show as 'evidence'
I post in my own name always
If unknown anonymous people who hide their IP as Passenger says he does are having fun with you guys then I just find it amusing - no more no less
It just makes this sort of Blog so worthless and shows it is so easy to post false rubbish anonymously
That is what I have said all along
As you will note I am not away from my desk as falsely posted
I stand by the apology to Simon Allso and would urge Phil to do the same
Does make you wonder exactly who the Passenger is though doesn't it as clearly someone somewhere told him to stop this harassment and apologise?
simon allso
Hi Guys, I did steal all your money and buy a new car with it and a house, I am really SORRY. I cant help it, I am just a little guy with self esteem issues. If I could do anything to get the MONEY back to you I would but Ingrid and I need all the money we can steal, sorry earn.
Please forgive me, you pal
Simon Allso
Exactly Phil
You can easily post in my name
It is SO easy to make this whole Blog a total mad place
Now nobody knows who is who and what is what which is great as it is total confusion
All we need is another philg93yrt and we ave a full duplicate set of nonsence!!
Great fun!!
no, I havent resorted to posting under simon's name
I suppose the teletubbies have finished and he is looking for more entertainment.
Must be the Mystery Man posting as the Passenger and ME and I am sure soon to be the infamous Phil
The point is no one now can have a clue who is who and what is what on this Blog so I suppose it is time to revert to purely stock postings

I agree for once
There is no point posting to a blog that has no credibility any more
I can easily set up more blogs.
but the comments will be approved.
If simon, for the first time ever, put forward a business plan for HIS 100% FINANCE SCHEME IN BULGARIA
then he is perfectly welcome.
But we need something more substantial than ' we had land and wre not bankrupt' or 'the banks do not need a deposit, we build 10 houses and refinance' or 'the contractors had committed 10 properties a week'
I am sure even a £100 day consultant would realise these were the plans of a five year old... with learning difficulties.
No doubt Simon will dispute needing money , land, tenants and building permission to build hundreds of houses ... in a year... or less.
These concepts are rediculous to simon. Anyway, its the company that gave press releases, sent emails, met clients and made phonecalls... in simon's name.
Phil
New blogs like Yahoo Groups you mean?
Was that not closed down?
Anyway, all you can publicise is Simon Allso which, as I said, is of no real relevance in business terms any more

total nonsense
and your argument being, an opportunity to blind us with your intelligence, your business consultancy skills, come on simon, this is your job,
by not answering this, you are looking an untrustworthy fool
come on simon, answer ,
when you approached a bank, how did you explain the building of hundreds of houses in a year
you did go to a bank didnt you,
at sometime between 2005 and 2007

simon,
did you go to a bank for finance, how did you explain the concept, and what contractual agreement did you have
remember, without a contract, you have nothing.
what financial agreement did you obtain between 2005 / 2007.
surely you were werent solely relying on the 100% finance scheme
you are looking like a fool
you are going to have to answer in court.
I shall be bringing up my reasons for calling this a scam.
how are you going to defend it ?
you are looking like a fool
answer the question. I have never had any problems having these type of questions answered by legitimate businessmen.

The answer is ladies and gentleman, the banks had given £300,000 to Allso/Kohli and were giving no more,
The only other source of income was the allocation queue, and in order to get investors to part with their money, Simon Allso engineered the 100% finance scheme to deceive clients out of £5000.
If you look through the blog, you will see simon cannot argue with this reasoning and so reverts to his childish games and using big words such as dafamatory.
The reason the blog is still here, is that the information is based on facts, something that Simon Allso does not deal in.

are you insulting my friends now mr allso.
this is without doubt harassment
I ask you some simple questions about the inconsistancies within the deal I invested in, and you are now harrassing me.
Is this the behaviour of a £4000 day consultant or the vindictive asset stripper we read about.
If you are really taking me to court, you are not doing yourself any favours.
Perhaps you wish to insult my mother next,
philg93yrt
Is there any chance Allso or an associate could have access too your computer, remotely that is???
That would be an instant hit with the police and would get him a night in the cells and a court appearance.
I am just popping into the office en route to more meetings so any posts after this in my name are not from me. Back around 16.00.
Which 'Passenger' is that then?
I certainly am NOT 'insulting' your friends or anyone else Phil - just seemed a bit of a strange one that all
Sounds a bit MI5ish to gain control of your computer Phil but then we have no idea who Passenger is do we?

can't see too many people going back through 363 plus Blogs Phil just to see what Google links are thrown up in my name anyway
But still just in case it is worth paying someone to keep pressing the button with my stock answer to post when I am not around!!
At least it is a good link to you that way published at least as many times!!
Day full of information coming in Phil - you have me interested in YOUR background and circumstances now as you have so much to say about me
Who is Ayaz Taji and Eugenie Taji then?
What was that
Simon Allso demanding that Simon Allso leaves the Blog!!
Hilarious

Well what an busy little chap Mr Allso has been today. It proves my point people are no longer getting involved with him on a professional level and he obviously has to much time on his hands. I guess all that spamming makes him feel clever and gainfully employed, he has certainly out smarted everyone here, he is the master.
I have just been sent the information below from a friend, it is from Simons new website, please read and laugh...
MY PUBLISHED BACKGROUND:MY PUBLISHED BACKGROUND: A quick check on the Internet reveals a few very upset individuals who claim I have cost them money somehow and somewhere, that I have been to prison and that I am banned as a Director. It is undoubtedly partly true - mainly lies - but unfortunately you cannot do what I do without 'trouble' and some resentful people appearing over the years. Where a company is closed and people lose their jobs and creditors lose their money you get resentment, justifiably - even if what was done was perfectly legal and saved some jobs. That resentment is normally directed at me - who has advised the course of action that protected the shareholders. It is, in part, what I get paid to do - to take the criticism and deflect blame from Shareholders. I firmly believe that negative publicity against me simply reflects the effectiveness of what I am paid to do in protecting my clients from such public negativity. What is important to me and my clients is what I do and advise is WITHIN THE LAW and will always be so. I have worked with most major law firms and accountancy / insolvency practices and have extensive contacts with those firms Wow this guy is out of his tinny little mind.
It is a typical of the man to lie, distort and corrupt the truth.
Sorry Simon just found a typo.. upset individuals who claim I have been to prison and that I am banned as a Director. It is undoubtedly partly true. it should read totally TRUE.
More..... I firmly believe that negative publicity against me simply reflects the effectiveness of what I am paid to do. What do you mean by this Simon, you are paid to asset strip and cheat??.
Your are in real need of help Simon, you are bonkers mate.
Even more....What is important to me and my clients is what I do and advise is WITHIN THE LAW and will always be so.
The whole office is rolling around in hysterics Simon, this is pure gold, wait till my boss sees this, its genius
Oh hello
Which Passenger is this one then?
Luckily at £4,000 a day I don't need to do much!!

You know what sod, I think that maybe Simon Allso's know longer has an interest in his dear wife.
I am not sure what happened to him in prison, but perhaps he enjoyed it and is secretly wanting to go back inside.
The BBTL website was a nice looking website, very professional, of course the contents were a pack of lies.
You should read it again
simon expected to build 500 houses in 2006 and 1500 houses in 2007/2008, with a bank loan for £300000, quite disturbing really, how dillusional a £4000 a day consultant can be
Phil
You have not yet said who is Ayaz Taji and Eugenie Taji then who are at your address in Bracknell?
You are not normally shy
Is it SOD Phil?
Or SOD Passenger?
I am confused by this NEW SOD as opposed to the old ones!
I notice that if defamatory information is posted on this blog, it can be closed down, as simon was threatening three years ago.
Unfortunately Simon Allso is alone in thinking this Blog has defamatory information.
I think I have got to you simon.
You try to show indifference, you try to show you no longer care about the contents of this blog, you tell us you are back in business. You are threatening me with harassment.
You are then insulting my friends, doing this investigation and turning up nothing, trying to make out you have uncovered dark secrets.
Why not either spend time with dear ingrid allso or go and work under your new alias.
Contacted a mate of yours today
Adrian Needlestone
Seems there is a bit more to Phil the Fraudster after all!!
One thing I can tell you Phil is that no one 'gets to me' because I really am not fussed what happens in life
You just are an amusing distraction for a while until I have something to do that is more fun
Is it SOD Phil or has SOD gone away?
Right - time to go out for dinner so have fun and TRY and get more than 4 hours sleep tonight Phil or you might be ratty in the morning!!
Glad to see your health has improved simon, little while ago you could barely write an email, now your ready with your karate skills, ready to deal with anyone that knocks at your door, or new office.
So all those hundreds that have lost money to Allso beware, he has made it clear he has doorman skills and is not scared to use them, so take shin guards and possibly something to protect your groin area, everywhere else should be safe - unless he can still jump after his heart attack.
Simon
I have this great idea. Now, some time ago, I requested the help of my new MP, Mr Phillip Ellis. ( the replacement for Andrew Mackay )
I told him my feelings and wondered how a company with a bank loan of £300,000 could expect to build the houses stated in the BBTL synopsis, with the only real source of capital coming from the allocation queue.
( I sent him an email recently, stating that Simon Allso was trying to sabotage the forums and is in complete denial about serving time for fraud )
My other concerns were the financial arrangements with banks and apparant non existance of corporate tenants.
I told him about your timescales issued by BBTL. I told him how I questioned them in March/may 2007, and how you strongly denied any problem, other than a 4 month delay. I also told him about the press conference you, simon allso, gave in June 2007, and how the information there conflicted with the timescales issued and supported by you in May 2007.
If you submit to him, your business plan, and he agrees that it is viable, I promise never to write another word about you, or anyone connected to you, and If I do, I will pay some kind of penalty.
I know as an upstanding member of the community with a respect for the law and legal system, you will see what a great solution this is.
Leaving you to carry on in your advisory role, commanding £4000 per day, and running smartway.
Sorry
that should say
Dr Phillip Ellis
his secretary is collette conway
"CONWAY Colette"
Please feel free to contact her.
I wonder if Phillip has been monitoring the blog as I requested.
Maybe you feel you have been acting in the manner becoming of a £4000 a day consultant.
I have pointed out that my main gripe has been you refusal to put forward a business plan for the 100% finance scheme. I also pointed out that when you left the company, most of the sales had been made, most of the money had gone, and the company was on the verge of collapse, despite only months before promising a house within 12 months and 100% finance.
I said that Simon was under the illusion that companies commit crimes. I have yet to hear of a company being jailed, released on bail etc.
I shall be signing off. Please do not even refer to my friends again, and remember the strain your company has caused me , I have had to endure the 'inconstistancies' of Tim Mannion, Steve Hodgson, Anil Kohli and above all , Simon allso.
As I thought, no business plan.

I have this great idea. Now, some time ago, I requested the help of our new local MP, Dr Phillip Ellis. the replacement for Andrew Mackay.
I told him my feelings and wondered how your company, Bulgaria BTLwith a bank loan of £300,000 could expect to build the houses stated in the BBTL synopsis, with the only real source of capital coming from the allocation queue. You stated yourself that just Vladaya and Petarch alone required an investment of 24 million, and this was for 100 houses, you needed to build 600 houses.
I mean, how many houses did you need to sell on the allocation queue to achieve just the investment for Vladaya and Petarch.
Remembering that all the investors were promised a house within twelve months, and this same promise was still there
Two years later, with no change to the synopsis. It even stated that 500 were expected to be built during 2006 and 1500 houses during 2007/2008.
( I sent Dr Phillip Ellis an email recently, stating that you were trying to sabotage the forums and are in complete denial about serving time for fraud )

With regard to your recent postings on the forum http://www.bulgariabtl.blogspot.com/
what are you hoping to achieve, it is giving the impression you need to see a doctor or something.
I have been off work myself with stress, I know how bad it can be. Really Simon, I am not responsible for the Bulgarian lawyer website, the blogspot website, the articles about
you being imprisoned for fraud, the articles about you being banned as a director twice, and your other escapades, such as sturmen archer, the buzwell group, in-a-flap etc
even if you remove my postings, there will still be plenty on the internet about you,

You stated yourself that just Vladaya and Petarch alone required an investment of 24 million, and this was for 100 houses, you needed to build 600 houses.
I mean, how many houses did you need to sell on the allocation queue to achieve just the investment for Vladaya and Petarch.
Remembering that all the investors were promised a house within twelve months, and this same promise was still there
Two years later, with no change to the synopsis. It even stated that 500 were expected to be built during 2006 and 1500 houses during 2007/2008.
( I sent Dr Phillip Ellis an email recently, stating that you were trying to sabotage the forums and are in complete denial about serving time for fraud )
My other concerns were the financial arrangements with banks and apparant non existance of corporate tenants.
I told him about your timescales issued by BBTL. I told him how I questioned them in March/may 2007, and how you strongly denied any problem, other than a 4 month delay. I also told him about the press conference you, simon allso, gave in June 2007, and how the information there conflicted with the timescales issued and supported by you in May 2007.
If you submit to him, your business plan, and he agrees that it is viable, I promise never to write another word about you, or anyone connected to you, and If I do, I will pay some kind of penalty.
I know as an upstanding member of the community with a respect for the law and legal system, you will see what a great solution this is.
Leaving you to carry on in your advisory role, commanding £4000 per day, and running your other company, smartway.
With regard to your recent postings on the forum http://www.bulgariabtl.blogspot.com/
what are you hoping to achieve, it is giving the impression you need to see a doctor or something.
I have been off work myself with stress, I know how bad it can be. Really Simon, I am not responsible for the Bulgarian lawyer website, the blogspot website, the articles about
you being imprisoned for fraud, the articles about you being banned as a director twice, and your other escapades, such as sturmen archer, the buzwell group, in-a-flap etc
even if you remove my postings, there will still be plenty on the internet about you,
regards
Phil.
MY PUBLISHED BACKGROUND:MY PUBLISHED BACKGROUND: A quick check on the Internet reveals a few very upset individuals who claim I have cost them money somehow and somewhere, that I have been to prison and that I am banned as a Director. It is undoubtedly partly true - mainly lies - but unfortunately you cannot do what I do without 'trouble' and some resentful people appearing over the years. Where a company is closed and people lose their jobs and creditors lose their money you get resentment, justifiably - even if what was done was perfectly legal and saved some jobs. That resentment is normally directed at me - who has advised the course of action that protected the shareholders. It is, in part, what I get paid to do - to take the criticism and deflect blame from Shareholders. I firmly believe that negative publicity against me simply reflects the effectiveness of what I am paid to do in protecting my clients from such public negativity. What is important to me and my clients is what I do and advise is WITHIN THE LAW and will always be so. I have worked with most major law firms and accountancy / insolvency practices and have extensive contacts with those firms

I think that simon is going for the insanity plea ?
I hope that Mrs Allso is keeping a safe distance from him.
Coming to think of it, I hope she is able to escape.
Unfortunately Mr Allso, people still access this blog via the homepage, they still get to read about your imprisonment for fraud, being banned as a director,causing the collapse of sturmen archer etc. and then they get to see your arguments.
Do you think that leaves them wanting to pay you £4000 a day to put their company in the bankruptcy courts, I dont think so.
Now, Please go and see a doctor for mrs Allso's sake.
Phil
Anybody looking at me NEW Consultancy website today will be searching on Google a name I am now using in Business and NOT Simon Allso
