My understanding is that Mr Chapman has been arrested and is on bail until early April. I also understand that his real name is not Michael Chapman so the plot thickens. Sadly I am owed for 2 cases and Mr Chapman has confirmed even recently that I will still receive payment + profits.

As a test run I bought one case. I sent Chapman £3k last Sept 19th, 'legally binding' buyback due on Dec 21st, and with one excuse or another he still hasn't payed a penny back. The guy is either one filthy good liar or utterly messed up with his business. If you don't want to cold sweat over your investment, try something else. £3k to the lottery would bebetter spent.<br />P.S. should he pay back as promised, I will make amend and apologise for the 'filthy liar', yet his contraddictions are too many and too often to give him even a tenner for lunch...<br />Bran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-3964087634827359062013-01-14T19:28:55.494+00:002013-01-14T19:28:55.494+00:00John.

It was returned after several applications several weeks later. I asked what had happened to the balance of £1,800 and was told that it had been rolled-over to a deal maturing on 17 November. In the meantime I invested a further £10,000 due to mature on 17 December at £14,400. On enquiring the absence of these proceeds, I was advised that a delay to 31 January had occurred, but would be off-set by a further 20% profit.
