His name is Nedim Ailyan.<br /><br />As well as Fine Wine Vintners Ltd, Beaumont Vintners Ltd, Worldwide Wealth Collections Ltd, Bordeaux UK Ltd and Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd, Nedim Ailyan was also the favourite choice of the fraudsters who ran Countrywide Land Holdings Ltd/ Regional Land/ Plateau Development & Land Ltd and Vin Bordelais Ltd, to act as their voluntarily appointed company liquidator. As if that were not enough work to be getting on with, Nedim Ailyan has now been chosen by Jonathan Ross Barr, the Assemakis brothers and John Bevan to take care of the liquidation of European Fine Wines Ltd/ EF Wines!!

It is common practice and nothing new for the Insolvency Service to appoint a private firm to wind up these companies.

But in so precipitating, HMRC has failed to consider David Ingram's connection with Nedim Ailyan*, an insolvency practitioner based near Bromley, Kent, who is associated with such people as Andrew Dunne, James Kenneth Maynard, Ian Vanderhook, Les Geeraerts, Laurence Adams and Michael Douglas.<br /><br />It is also a matter of concern that Grant Thornton UK LLP has seen fit to publish a press release targeted at Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd's creditors in general, which is deliberately written in a way so as to suggest that insolvency practitioners normally charge creditors who vote for them! The false impression is therefore, “vote for Grant Thornton and its free; vote for any other insolvency practitioner and they will charge you for voting!”<br /><br />Backed by the sheer size of HMRC as creditor, it is in this case a fait accompli and an unwelcome inevitability that Grant Thornton UK LLP will be appointed as liquidator of Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd, once the creditors' votes have been counted after tomorrow's meeting, (Friday 14th March 2014) at the Official Receiver's office in London.<br /><br />With the above in mind, would it now continue to be right and proper for the Official Receiver to condone this sham and meekly hand the control of Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd over to David Ingram of Grant Thornton UK LLP? After all, it is important to note that the law of Insolvency merely requires the Official Receiver to exercise his/her discretion and simply CONSIDER holding a meeting of creditors to appoint an alternative liquidator; it is not mandatory; the Official Receiver can still decide that he/she will himself continue as liquidator and stay in control.<br /><br />The enormity of the fraud that took place under the auspices of Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd (now estimated at more than £100 million) warrants appropriate intervention by the Official Receiver, i.e. a Government Official, an accountable entity, not a private firm. Accordingly the Official Receiver should move to maintain direct control of Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd until ALL creditors/victims are traced and informed. He/she must simultaneously assist the Police in conducting a thorough investigation into those suspected of criminality. This in itself will surely lead to prosecutions for fraud, theft and money laundering.<br /><br />Unless they choose to approach Ken Gundlach personally and somehow manage to persuade him to hand their money over, no one who has ‘invested’ with Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd is likely to get back a penny. The only ones who will henceforth stand to gain are the people of Grant Thornton UK LLP. <br /><br />I rather think that Ken Gundlach would feel much more comfortable with Grant Thornton UK LLP looking into his affairs as the liquidator, rather than the Official Receiver.<br /><br />Another serious matter of concern is why on earth HMRC, civil servants in charge of our money, should be pushing to have a private firm as liquidator in the first place, when they could just as easily ask the Official Receiver to remain as liquidator? It stinks!<br /><br />*See also - liquidation of fine wine investment scam company Worldwide Wealth Collections Ltd<br />Anyone for Kofi?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-6493252508840832172014-03-03T11:57:59.565+00:002014-03-03T11:57:59.565+00:00Oakley and Forbes dodgy diamond dealers have disaa...Oakley and Forbes dodgy diamond dealers have disaapearedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-76272362551128581622014-02-27T17:50:49.953+00:002014-02-27T17:50:49.953+00:00Optimum Fine Wines - for a start Jim, their 't...Optimum Fine Wines - for a start Jim, their 'twenty-something' director Harry Mosely drives a Bentley. They've been recommending montrose 2003 at £4k+ (according to one of their clients). They claim to have "over 150 full-time staff" on their website - A LIE. They provide NO address details or contact number on their website, usually an indication they don't want people knowing where they are, which is strange! Perhaps the most damning thing are the prices scrolling accross the screen at the top of their website, a couple of examples: Lafite Rothschild 2010 for £9,000 (available elsewhere for less than £6,500), Cos d'Estournel 2009 at £3,100 (available at £2,125 on WS). <br /><br />Looks like similar margins to Bordeaux Fine Wines, which is troubling considering Optimum have the contact information of a selected list of BFW clients!<br /><br />For the record, this is my first comment on hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-28718895697739880782014-02-27T15:10:17.791+00:002014-02-27T15:10:17.791+00:00The wolf of wall street helped them!!!!!!!!
