18th DECEMBER '12 - HERE WE ARE 3 WEEKS AFTER THE DAMNING PUBLICATION BELOW...AND NOT A WORD FROM IAN GRABINER OR THE OTHER ACCUSED MEMBERS OF THE GRABINER FAMILY...NO LEGAL LETTER...NO THREAT OF LIBEL ACTION...NOTHING.
THIS IS NOT THE BEHAVIOUR OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Chris Coomber
Ian Grabiner is the Chief Executive Officer of Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group Ltd, which had revenues of £2.7bn in the year ’10-’11, with Ian Grabiner enjoying a take-home salary of £1.9mn in that year…a £300K increase on the previous year…when his employees had their pay frozen during the worst period of Public austerity for many decades.
THIS IS NOT THE BEHAVIOUR OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Chris Coomber
Ian Grabiner is the Chief Executive Officer of Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group Ltd, which had revenues of £2.7bn in the year ’10-’11, with Ian Grabiner enjoying a take-home salary of £1.9mn in that year…a £300K increase on the previous year…when his employees had their pay frozen during the worst period of Public austerity for many decades.
Ian Grabiner, along with his Accountant brother Paul Grabiner, conspired with Alan Bloom (as the Administrator for Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander Bank or KSF, & as E&Y’s Global Head of Business Restructuring) & his Brother Peter Bloom, their Cousin Paul Bloom (the main Victims’ Estate Agent), and with several members of the Goodkind family (inc. Peter, & Graham Goodkind) in a Fraud Scheme through which they sought to defraud both the main Victims, i.e. Chris Coomber & Dawn Burrus, and KSF’s Creditors, of a total of £2.5mn+.
Specifically Ian Grabiner, along with Daniel Levy (the Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club…with Mr Levy’s involvement believed to have been on behalf of a relative, an associate, or possibly a THFC player) were the parties to whom Alan Bloom & his Core Co-Conspirators intended (before the Fraud was exposed) to sell the 2 houses upon the Victims’ stolen “Greystones” Property Development Site, when completed by a connected corrupt & financially stretched Builder, a Barry McGrath.
The evidence summarised herein demonstrates to a high level of Burden of Proof, even before any Disclosure Process, that Ian Grabiner & his brother Paul Grabiner had the Means, Motive and Opportunity to act, and indeed DID act:
1. As Co-Conspirators in “The Greystones Fraud”.
AND
2. Upon the initial evidence of the Fraud being exposed, as Co-Conspirators in the subsequent “Cover-Up” of that Fraud, a Cover-Up which has involved the commission of numerous further Criminal Acts commissioned by members & associates of the powerful and extremely wealthy Grabiner family, inc. one of the Nation’s; most famous Barristers, i.e. Lord Grabiner QC.
To date, and for some time now, and despite publication, Ian & Paul Grabiner have declined to answer these allegations, as have the other members of the Grabiner family whose conduct has also been questioned…and the Author Chris Coomber once again unconditionally undertakes, if so desired, to also publish any such responses if & when they are received…to provide these parties with an opportunity to respond to these allegations…to attempt to clear their names.
The accused / implicated members of the Grabiner family are also free to sue the author, i.e. Chris Coomber, as one of the Main Victims of this Fraud & Cover-Up, for Libel, in the High Court, i.e. the same Court to which the Grabiner family have been so intimately connected…and the same Court through which, and via numerous illegal acts by connected Senior Judicial Office Holders, the Grabiner family have so blatantly been protected…regardless of, or rather because of, the unequivocal evidence against them.
Indeed, as the evidence herein also demonstrates, the only remaining “thread” of the Grabiners’ as yet unstated Defence, is the existence of the ’10 Judgments of (as he was then) Justice Lewison and Lord Justice Gross (upon Appeal) who both found that Alan Bloom & his fellow Administrators had in no way acted dishonestly in seizing and selling their Victims’ / Accusers’ Site.
Unfortunately for the Grabiners, not only has a mountain of evidence been subsequently exposed which proves that which was always blindingly obvious; i.e. the appalling dishonesty of Alan Bloom in these matters, and that the Greystones Site was indeed seized and sold for “Improper Purposes”, and through numerous abuses of Alan Bloom’s & his fellow Administrators’ positions and powers; but this evidence ALSO proves that:
1. Ian & Paul Grabiner were Co-Conspirators in that Fraud Scheme.
2. The Fraud has been the subject of an incredible Cover-Up which has recently been exposed as reaching to the very heart of the Conservative Government.
3. Other members of the Grabiner family are, at a minimum, complicit in that ensuing & wide-ranging Cover-Up.
4. The conduct of the implicated members of the Grabiner family, and the parties who have abused their powers and duties to support the Cover-Up, represents serious Criminal Offences (including under the new Fraud Act 2006) which are punishable by many years of Imprisonment.
5. Both (as he was then) Justice Lewison, and Lord Justice Gross are close friends / associates of the Grabiber family...as are all the Judicial Office Holders who "just happen" to have been involved in the dismissal of the Fraud allegations...and to have acting unlawfully with grave bias and prejudice against the Grabiners' Victims.
5. Both (as he was then) Justice Lewison, and Lord Justice Gross are close friends / associates of the Grabiber family...as are all the Judicial Office Holders who "just happen" to have been involved in the dismissal of the Fraud allegations...and to have acting unlawfully with grave bias and prejudice against the Grabiners' Victims.
As just an example of the evidence available at this time, it is now known that the £410K deposit monies used to purchase the Site upon the July ’09 Exchange of Contracts:
1. Rather than actually being provided by the corrupt (and financially struggling) Builder / Purchaser Barry McGrath, were actually provided by either Ian Grabiner himself, or by Graham Goodkind as a Co-Conspirator and friend / associate of the Grabiner family through whom Alan Bloom, his Brother Peter Bloom and their Business Partner Andrew Samuels, were intending to orchestrate, and financially benefit from, the sale of the completed houses…with the well evidenced involvement of Ian Grabiner’s Accountant Brother, i.e. Paul Grabiner, in that process.
AND
2. Were passed through Alan Bloom’s Business Partner’s (i.e. Andrew & Bernard Samuels’) Property Lending Company, with Andrew Samuels then setting up another company i.e. “Everychance Ltd” (set-up the very day after Alan Bloom orchestrated and completely unjustified and unlawful calling in of the Victims’ Loan Facility) to purchase the Site…and to hide the source of these deposit monies…and hence the links between the Co-Conspirators…links which it has taken the Victims 3+ years of full-time work to expose.
Given the nature of this Insolvency Fraud, and given subsequent connivances by the Accused and their associates, and despite the final stage of the Fraud being thwarted (i.e. the sale of 2 completed luxury contemporary homes to these 2 High Profile parties who are now believed to have withdrawn from the Conspiracy upon, or sometime after, the initial evidence of Fraud being exposed) the monies of all Victims were “destroyed” in the process, including through the ensuing Cover-Up.
By means of an explanation as to how these monies was, to all intents & purposes, “destroyed” (or effectively placed out of the reach of the Victims by being passed on to the ultimate new Purchasers in the form of massive discounts on their new homes), these 2 houses are now so publically tarnished by allegations of Fraud, and have been subjected to so much blatant “rubbishing” by the directly implicated Radlett Estate Agents (i.e. by Statons and Barry Allsuch & Co), that they have only recently both been sold (i.e. 3.5 years after the initially scheduled completion) and at a staggering c40% less than the initially advertised Sales Prices…and at low prices per ft2 which are without precedent.
As just one example of this blatant “Price Manipulation” (which this Fraudulent practice also exposed in the Bid Process itself, and again involving Barry Allsuch & Co / Paul Bloom), another very similar Radlett property has recently been marketed by Barry Allsuch & Co, but with a lower specification and without a “New Build Premium”, at in excess of TWICE the price per ft2 as both the Greystone Houses final sold for.
This “yardstick” confirms that the true untarnished and independent market valuation for these homes is around the £3.3mn figure, i.e. the very same figure that:
1. The Victims expected to secure, even in a depressed market.
2. Barry Allsuch & Co, and indeed Paul Bloom himself, assured their Victims, and just months before the Administration of KSF, was readily achievable.
3. That KSF’s own valuation, or the one commissioned just before the Administration of KSF, also confirmed as readily achievable.
4. Was a full £200K, per house, less than the price at which Statons initially advertised the completed Homes…at the VERY BOTTOM of the market.
It must also be noted that evidence now available confirms this deliberate (downward) “price-rigging” (inc. by the Sales Agents Statons themselves, AND by Barry Allsuch & Co who are ALWAYS consulted by Lenders regarding any house sales in Radlett) in a desperate attempt to construct a putative Defence that the massive damages caused (at least in relation to the Greystones Site…with other massive Consequential Damages having also been caused) would have been caused anyway…i.e. “no harm…no foul”.
The Fraud, and related Frauds against other of the Victims’ property interests also executed by other of the Conspirators (who attempted to compound & exploit the harm caused by the initial Fraud), shattered every aspect of the lives of Chris Coomber & Dawn Burrus (and the lives of their 3 children) who have been attempting to secure Justice & Redress for the last 3.5 years, during which time they have faced the most extraordinary efforts to “kill-off” the allegations, with those efforts becoming ever more desperate as the evidence, now entirely damning, was steadily exposed.
The ensuing Cover-Up, as evidence now proves, has involved a number of senior Judicial Office Holders (inc. High Court & Appeal Court Judges exposed as having links with the Accused), and both the Metropolitan Police and the Serious Fraud Office.
Also recently exposed is the support / sponsorship of David Cameron himself & a number of Conservative Ministers & “Cronies” in this Cover-Up, with David Cameron, his “best friend” Lord Feldman as Chairman of the Conservative Party, and the Conservative Party Co-Treasurers, ALL now exposed as having multiple links & common interests (inc. related to maintaining increasingly stretched Conservative Party Funding) with the Grabiner family AND with Daniel Levy & his family.
At the present time, despite being made aware of these allegations, David Cameron and his most senior (and closest) Ministers with duties to challenge this Fraud, are all “turning a blind eye” to the allegations and the evidence…and are happily deferring to a Court which has been demonstrated to have been appallingly corrupted…with that corruption very squarely in the personal, professional and party interests of David Cameron, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (George Osborne), the Lord Chancellor (Chris Grayling) & the Home Secretary (Theresa May).
All of the above parties (and others named within) have been exposed as acting improperly (with the majority committing a number of Criminal Acts along the way) to “stifle” the allegations, regardless (or rather because) of the evidence available, and to protect Ian Grabiner & Paul Grabiner, and their high profile family members (inc. their Cousins Lord Grabiner, Stephen Grabiner & Mike Grabiner) and Ian Grabiner’s closest business associate, i.e. Sir Philip Green…i.e. a friend of / advisor to David Cameron… and the UK’s most notorious Tax Avoider.
The evidence against Ian Grabiner, and a number of his family members, is both completely damning and entirely unanswered, with the main evidence items outlined in the 70+ sets of facts below:
1. All evidence (cited herein & elsewhere) confirms that Alan Bloom, and his “right-hand-man”, fellow Administrator and “underling” Thomas Burton, acted unlawfully, and “Under the Cover” of the Administration of KSF, to seize and sell the prized Greystones Site for no other reason than to create a £multi-mn financial gain for Alan Bloom, his family, and for their respective friends & associates.
2. The LPA Receivers appointed by Thomas Burton, i.e. the legal parties appointed to seize and sell the Site, i.e. parties appointed to “do the bidding” of the corrupt Alan Bloom & Thomas Burton, and parties now exposed as having a prior relationship with Thomas Burton, refuse to even provide the signed Sale Contract for the Victims’ Site…a Sale Transaction from which they were paid an astounding £100K+ in Fees...by the Victims.
3. It is reasonably believed that this refusal is because this Sale Contract will show that, at Exchange of Contracts in July ‘09, and before any real evidence of Fraud had been exposed, the Site was actually sold to a company other than the supposed purchaser “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd”…and a company with intimate yet better concealed links with Alan Bloom himself…with the evidence supporting this allegations adduced below.
4. Another company, i.e. “Bleinham Finance Ltd”, was set-up, and registered to the home address of Ian Grabiner’s Brother Paul Grabiner (a “one-man band” Accountant) in April ’10.
5. At this time it appeared that the Victims would not Appeal the January ’10 Judgment of (as he was then) Justice Lewison, i.e. in the Victims’ initial Civil Fraud Claim brought against Alan & Paul Bloom and the LPA Receivers, a Judgment in which Justice Lewison found in favour of Alan Bloom…with the delays in issuing such an Appeal only being due to the Victims’ illness…directly caused by the Fraud and Cover-Up.
6. The Directors & Shareholders of “Bleinham Finance Ltd” are none other than Alan Bloom’s Brother Peter Bloom, and the husband and wife Graham & Lisa Goodkind.
7. Not only has this Judgment of Justice Lewison now been totally discredited with:
a. Justice Lewison “just happening” to be a friend / associate of both the Grabiner & Goodkind families, AND of an actual Investor in the Site, i.e. Anthony Sacker who was to directly financially benefit from this corrupt Judgment…with the Victims not even being aware of the existence of these parties at the time of the Judgment, and the subsequent Appeal;
AND
b. Justice Lewison having demonstrated significant bias and prejudice against the Claimants / Victims, i.e. Chris Coomber, Dawn Burrus and their company Greystone Houses Ltd, and having crafted a Judgment which incredibly set a Common Law Precedent which effectively gives the Court’s Approval (and hence a Defence in Common Law) for such a Fraud Scheme…despite that Precedent being completely “at-odds”, and rightly so, with the Provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986, AND with Criminal Law…inc. with the Provisions of the new Fraud Act 2006;
AND
c. further evidence being exposed which unequivocally proves the truth of the allegations so readily dismissed by Justice Lewison;
…so too have the subsequent Judgments of both Lord Justice Mummery (determined “on the papers”) and Lord Justice Gross (at a final Oral Appeal Hearing), upon the Victims finally being able to submit an Application to Appeal this Judgment of the Lower Court.
Specifically, both of these senior Judges simply ignored many of the Grounds cited in the Appeal Application…and most notably the corrupt Common Law Precedent established by Justice Lewison…and then connived to ensure that the Victims / Claimants were denied the Opportunity to even appear before them…to orally present this damning evidence…including the evidence which had just been exposed implicating Daniel Levy.
Further, Lord Justices Mummery AND Gross have ALSO been exposed as being associates of the Grabiner family…and are now both refusing to disclose their other relationships with the Accused.
Indeed, Lord Justice Gross has gone so far as to recently recuse himself from the Victims’ case (which he had previously refused to do for several months…after “just happening” to be the very same Appeal Court Judge, out of nearly 40 such Judges, to whom the Victims’ 3 recent Appeal Applications were issued) to avoid having to disclose all of these other relationships.
8. The Accounts of “Bleinham Finance Ltd” confirm that a sum of £410K (+ some limited fees) was paid to the Lending Company of Andrew Samuels & his Father Bernard Samuels, i.e. “BM Samuels Finance Group”, where:
a. Despite this relationship being deliberately concealed, Andrew Samuels, and his Father Bernard Samuels, were exposed (via Genealogical Research) as the Business Partners of Alan Bloom and his Father Ronald Bloom, where these parties are now known to be Co-Owners of the Property Lending Company “Alandale Securities Ltd”.
b. £410K “just happens” to be the amount of the deposit for the Greystones Site, supposedly paid by Barry McGrath / “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd”, in July ’09…and paid within just days of the initial allegations of Fraud being made against Alan Bloom and his Estate Agent Cousin Paul Bloom.
c. The ominously named “Everychance Ltd” (with this supremely arrogant and incriminating naming practice being applied to all of the new companies set-up for this Fraud), being set-up by Andrew Samuels within just hours of the Victims’ Loan being called in without any justification by Thomas Burton / Alan Bloom.
d. “Everychance Ltd” now being confirmed to be a subsidiary of “BM Samuels Finance Group”…and being set-up, according to its Accounts, to purchase a property which then “fell through”…after £24K was spent in preparation for that Transaction, presumably on Valuations / Surveys / Due Diligence etc.
e. The £410K payment is “dressed-up” to have been a “Bridging Loan” (yes a Bridging Loan TO a Bridging Loan / Property Finance company), when in reality, as the evidence now shows, it was actually deposit monies for an unlawful Sale Transaction “teed-up” by Alan Bloom himself.
f. “Bleinham Finance Ltd’s” last Accounts, which provided incendiary evidence to support the allegations, were filed some 6 months late, and on the 6th December ’11, which “just happens” to have been a week or so after it became clear that Chris Coomber really was seriously ill, not least as a result of his appalling, unjustified and illegal arrest and detention, upon a bizarre Criminal Complaint being made against him of Blackmail & Harassment, by none other than Graham Goodkind, Richard Sacker and Andrew Bloch.
Simply stated, this evidence was deliberately concealed by Paul Grabiner, Graham Goodkind & Peter Bloom until such a point as the maliciously petitioned for, relentlessly connived at, and unlawfully ordered Personal Bankruptcies of Chris Coomber & Dawn Burrus were “in the bag”, and the directly and intentionally caused ill-health of Chris Coomber was exacerbated to the point of his near death.
9. Companies House documentation also demonstrates that:
a. Graham & Lisa Goodkind’s Property Company, i.e. “Goodkind Estates Ltd”, according to the Accounts to March ’11, “just happens” to be owed a sum of £360K.
b. The same Accounts also show that a sum of £50K was supposedly “invested” in Investment Property, in this same period.
c. On the basis of the above, a total of £410K was paid out via this Company during this period, i.e. a sum exactly equal to the £410K deposit.
d. Graham Goodkind, on the 27th January ’10, i.e. the very day after the Judgment of Justice Lewison (to whom he has now been closely linked) sold his shareholding in this Company to his wife Lisa Goodkind…a step believed to be in furtherance of the objectives of the Fraud Scheme…likely related to intended Tax Avoidance.
10.Companies House documentation further demonstrates that:
a. Alan & Bernard Samuels, in April ’09, then set-up another (again ominously named) Company “BestDirect Ltd”.
b. It was also discovered that a sum of £50K had been paid into “BestDirect Ltd”, i.e. the same amount of money paid out of “Goodkind Estates Ltd”.
11.By April ’09 it was becoming apparent that the Victims were even more suspicious regarding the true motivations and hence the legality of the seizure of their Site, and the process being undertaken by the LPA Receivers.
12.This process included a request for a Marketing Assessment / Valuation for the site (inc. for the completed Houses) from Barry Allsuch & Co (the employer of Paul Bloom), an Assessment / Valuation which when disclosed in evidence, was VERY radically different to the position of these same Estate Agents just a few months previously, and which formed the basis of Knight Frank’s Valuation of the Site at the (manipulated and obscene) level of just £1.8mn.
13.At the time that this Assessment / Valuation was provided by Barry Allsuch & Co, this Estate Agency (which “enjoys”, it is now known, a reputation for exceptionally sharp practices) was actually retained by the very same company that it so eagerly sought to defraud, i.e. “Greystone Houses Ltd”, with that appointment being made just 2 weeks before KSF entered Administration, by Chris Coomber himself…and with this Valuation / Assessment, in & of itself, representing a grave breach of their Fiduciary Duties to their Client.
14.It was later discovered that Paul Bloom, of Barry Allsuch & Co is the First Cousin of Alan Bloom…with:
a. Alan Bloom’s position being that the very first time he has spoken to Paul Bloom regarding this site was on Sunday the 14th June ’09, i.e. on the very weekend that Chris Coomber “just happened” to take possession of the Site, the very weekend that Robert & Andrew Bloch “just happened” to appear at the Site and declare their interest to Chris Coomber as supposed Purchasers, and the very day before Barry McGrath “just happened” set-up “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd”.
b. Paul Bloom & Barry Allsuch’s position being that they did not even know that Alan Bloom was the Administrator over this site until Friday the 12th June…i.e. the very day that Chris Coomber took possession of the Site…the largest site, by some considerable margin, Barry Allsuch & Co had ever had on their books…and with Barry Allsuch fully aware that the site was in possession of the LPA Receivers…LPA Receivers who then “just happened” to be intimately linked with PSPF…with whom Barry Allsuch & Paul Bloom “just happened” to meet, to discuss the Site “behind the back” of Chris Coomber…a meeting which led to a clumsy attempt to force the Calling-In of the Loan by PSPF...with the direct collusion of Barry Allsuch & Paul Bloom…i.e. these Conspirators “first bite of the cherry”.
c. Alan Bloom, Paul Bloom & Barry Allsuch exposed as having “lied through their teeth”, and having effectively committed a grave Contempt of Court in January ’10…knowing fully that they were “protected” by Justice Lewison, and numerous other connected (and knowingly “influenceable”) Judicial Office Holders within the Royal Courts of Justice.
15.It was also later discovered that Knight Frank had produced a valuation before the one which was produced to support the corrupted Sale Process, i.e. the one produced after this Assessment / Valuation by Barry Allsuch & Co, with this initial Valuation never having been disclosed.
16.It is legitimately suspected that Knight Frank had produced an initial version of this Valuation, (possibly paid for through “Everychance Ltd”) only to modify this, in the favour of the intended Purchaser, upon receiving the (manipulated) input from the LPA Receivers & Barry Allsuch & Co…and indeed Knight Frank have disclosed that an earlier Valuation does exist…a Valuation which has not itself been disclosed…and will not be…because it was not paid for by any of the Victims, i.e. neither “Greystone Houses Ltd”, Chris Coomber, Dawn Burrus, nor KSF’s Creditors.
17.On the basis of the above, and the wider evidence in this case, it can reasonably be inferred that “BestDirect Ltd” was set-up, upon the suspicions of Chris Coomber as to the legality of the seizure of the Site being raised, to pay unlawful commissions / bribes relating to the Fraud Scheme, inc. a suspected payment to Barry Allsuch & Paul Bloom of Barry Allsuch & Co for the “Dishonest Assistance”, and upon the Fraud Scheme being altered to:
a. Remove Barry Allsuch & Co as the planned Sale Agents, who were to be paid 1.5% of the commission for the Site Sale, i.e. c£27K (1.5% of the initial £1.8mn), with the LPA Receivers themselves then being paid this Commission on the false basis that they themselves had “found” the buyer, i.e. Barry McGrath…which they had not...i.e. this £30K was effectively a bribe to the LPA Receivers paid for by the already defrauded KSF Creditors.
AND
b. Sell the Site directly to a corrupt Builder, i.e. Barry McGrath (who was under very significant financial strain at this time…and who could not have independently raised the funding for this project) rather than to “Everychance Ltd” or to “Goodkind Estates Ltd”…given these parties had well concealed but ultimately provable links with Alan Bloom.
AND
c. Repay “Everychance Ltd” the c£24K (i.e. a total of c£50K) that they had spent preparing for the Purchase.
18.The diagram below shows the overall “Anatomy” of the Fraud Scheme (with other slightly different permutations also being possible) showing the intended final End Purchasers being Ian Grabiner & Daniel Levy (or a family member / associate):
19.It now becomes clear why the complicit LPA Receivers refuse to hand-over the initial Sale Contract, i.e. because it is likely to have been executed in July ’09 in the name of either “Everychance Ltd” (i.e. for the benefit of Alan Bloom’s Business Partner) or “Goodkind Estates Ltd” (i.e. for the benefit of Graham Goodkind, now exposed as a close associate of Alan Bloom).
It must also be noted that even if this is somehow proven NOT to the case, the evidence is still entirely damning, inc. that parties intimately connected to Alan Bloom himself were involved in the funding of the purchase of the Greystones Site.
20.The significance of the involvement of the multi-millionaire Graham Goodkind in the above web of “Shadow Companies” & “Front Companies”, and as a friend / associate of the Grabiner family, cannot be overstated, not least with:
a. His Cousin Clive Goodkind “just happening” to be exposed as the Business Partner of the Insolvency Practitioners lined up by the Co-Conspirator Michael Harris (see below) to give “bogus” advice to Chris Coomber (inc. to declare Personal Bankruptcy and to simply let the Administrators seize the Site and then claim damages…with no such damages, i.e. for simply calling in an “on-demand” loan, apparently ever due), advice which was in the Conspirators’ interests, and which was undeniably against the interests of Chris Coomber and his company “Greystones Houses Ltd”.
b. Graham Goodkind being the Cousin of Peter Goodkind, who was also involved in the Fraud Scheme in collusion with Alan Bloom & his Cousin Paul Bloom (see below).
c. Graham Goodkind being exposed as a neighbour of Alan Bloom’s friend and colleague, the E&Y Insolvency Partner Maurice Moses, with Maurice Moses also having been linked with another Insolvency Fraud Scheme involving Alan Bloom, Andrew Samuels…and Daniel Levy.
d. Graham Goodkind being exposed as the friend of Richard Sacker (a Magistrate no less), the Partner of the small Mezzanine Lending company “Private Sector Property Finance” or PSPF, and also a known Conspirator in both this Fraud Scheme (along with his Brother & Co-Investor Anthony Sacker…exposed as a friend of Justice Lewison!), and a number of related Fraud Schemes targeting the Victims’ other property assets, inc. the site for the Victims’ new family home.
Specifically PSPF’s “Modus Operandi” was (and still is) to provided small “top-up” loans to their Victims in return for 30% interest pa and 2nd Charges…and then to connive through various means (including through unlawful acts) to cause the collapse of those projects…at which time they would appoint corrupt LPA Receivers to seize and sell the sites at massive discounts to a Connected Party, thereby producing illegal profits of many times their limited initial investments…at the same time as defrauding both the Developer and his Primary Funder.
Having been introduced to PSPF by none other than NatWest, and then having entered into 2 Lending Agreements with them, PSPF soon began a campaign, inc. with the collusion of the NatWest Staff Members whom had made this fateful introduction, to cause the collapse of these and related projects.
Whilst the Victims has thwarted the initial efforts of PSPF to defraud them, the collapse of KSF, and PSPF’s numerous links with the Administrator Alan Bloom and his Estate Agent Cousin Paul Bloom, provided the ideal opportunity to follow through with their Fraudulent Schemes…and opportunity that they eagerly took.
e. Graham Goodkind being exposed as the Business Partner of Andrew Bloch (as Co-Founders of “Frank Public Relations Ltd”, or “FrankPR”), with Andrew Bloch and his Father Robert Bloch (both multi-millionaires), for a suspected payment of £100K, and within just hours of Chris Coomber taking possession of the Site to protest at blatant irregularities in the Sale Process, colluding with Graham Goodkind, Alan Bloom & Paul Bloom, to deceitfully pose as last minute Bidders for the Site.
Having undertaken no due diligence whatsoever before committing £4mn+ to a bespoke building project, the Blochs (who were working with Barry Allsuch & Paul Bloom no less…and before it was exposed that Paul Bloom is the Cousin of Alan Bloom) supposedly wished to commission Chris Coomber’s Construction Company (i.e. “Co-Existence Homes Ltd”) to complete the Development…to allow his / his family’s / his friends’ large investments in the project to be recovered…and to try and avoid Personal & Professional Bankruptcy caused by the calling-in of the Loan.
The Blochs, as was their intent all along, withdrew from the Project, and from the winning and the runner-up Bids which they were both supposedly funding by that time (inc. the Bid of Michael Harris as well…having also “intervened” in that Bid…which was “bogus” anyway), immediately after the conclusion of the Bidding Process, and in so doing ensured the Site was sold to the lowest bidder now shown to be a “Front Company”.
These cynical and illegal acts destroyed Chris Coomber’s 6+ months of effort to remain involved his own project, and to avoid his & his family’s orchestrated ruination, and the evidence now proves that both Robert Bloch and his son Andrew Bloch (with their own intimate links with Daniel Levy also now exposed) were both acting as Co-Conspirators in the Fraud Scheme…in return for a large and entirely unlawful payment.
21.Over and above the appalling acts described above, i.e. acts executed by Ian Grabiner his Brother and a number of his Associates, there are numerous other items of evidence all pointing to Ian Grabiner being the intended Purchaser of one of these unique homes, and these are described below.
22.It is known that Ian Grabiner, upon the completion of the secondary education of his eldest daughter (Jenna) and at exactly the time that the first house on the stolen Site was due to be completed by the corrupt builder Barry McGrath, i.e. in August ’10, was relocating his family to the South, from Glasgow.
23.It is known that Alan Bloom “planted” a Consultant, a Martin Orrell, into the Bank in February ’09. It was then exposed that Martin Orrell’s “one-man-band” Consulting Company, i.e. “Hermitage Property Finance Consulting Ltd” is part owned by a Peter Goodkind (and by Sir John Ritblat), with Peter Goodkind being the Cousin of Graham Goodkind…now making it FOUR members of the Goodkind family implicated in his Fraud, i.e. Clive, Graham, Lisa & Peter.
24.Not only was Martin Orrell then exposed as being directly involved in the Sale Process for the Greystones Site within the Bank, Mr Orrell, upon Chris Coomber making public his suspicions regarding this person’s role and conduct, departed his contract with KSF at very short notice.
25.Mr Orrell, with his wife Suzie Orrell being a senior FSA employee, has refused, over the course of the last 3 years, to respond to any of the allegations made against him.
26.It was then exposed that Peter Goodkind and his wife Karen Goodkind (linked to the Tchenquiz family by both marriage and friendship…with the Tchenguiz Brothers heavily implicated in the collapse of Kaupthing itself) “just happened” to be close friends of none other than Ian Grabiner and his wife Tracy Grabiner…with these families also going on foreign trips together, and with Tracy Grabiner & Karen Goodkind even going on a foreign trip together at the time of the conception of the Fraud.
27.It was also exposed that Michael Harris, a Co-Conspirator in the Fraud Scheme and a person who relentlessly connived to ensure the Site was sold to Barry McGrath / “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd”, whilst deceitfully himself posing as a motivated Bidder as the next door neighbour of the Site itself, is a long term friend of Sir Philip Green, i.e. Ian Grabiner’s “Boss” and closest Business Associate / Partner.
Indeed, as the Victims are now aware, at one point some 10+ years ago the DTI’s Criminal Investigation into the conduct of Michael Harris (i.e. relating to the collapse of his fashion company “Helene Plc”, caused by Michael Harris’s proven embezzlement of that company) questioned Philip Green in relation to those crimes, on the basis of the discovery of numerous phone calls between Michael Harris and Philip Green…at which time the friendship was confirmed.
It is interesting to compare the evidence above with Michael Harris’s deliberate and false comment to Robert Bloch, made in the company of Chris Coomber, and just days before the first evidence of fraud was exposed, that he did not know Sir Philip Green (i.e. Ian Grabiner’s closest business colleague / associate), but had met him briefly once.
Specifically, Michael Harris deceitfully posed over the course of a full 6 months, as a “White Knight” & “Saviour” of the Victims (saying he would employ the Victims’ Construction Company to complete the Site…the same “Modus Operandi” as the Blochs), to maintain the “inside-track” required to try and “skim-off” monies from the sale of the Site in return for his valuable “contribution” to the Fraud Scheme.
28.It was also then exposed that the only daughters of both Michael Harris and Paul Grabiner are actually close friends, with both of these children living at home at this time.
29.It is also known that Michael Harris did indeed attempt (and may have succeeded) to “skim-off” £275K from the sale of the Site (and from KSF’s Creditors), effectively through Bribery & Coercion, based upon his knowledge of the Fraud Scheme, and by subverting the Final Bid Process in collusion with Alan Bloom himself, Paul Bloom, and Robert & Andrew Bloch.
30.It was also Michael Harris, colluding with members of the Grabiner family (with both Stephen Grabiner and Lord Grabiner having close links with the Murdochs and with News International), who set-up Chris Coomber’s meeting with the Sunday Times’ Insight Team, i.e. Jonathan Calvert & Michael Gillard, in the summer of ’09…with Chris Coomber attempting to expose the Fraud Scheme…and at that time not being aware of Michael Harris’s appalling duplicity.
31.Evidence now demonstrates that the objectives of this meeting were to: a) to extract the evidence that Chris Coomber possessed at that time with a view to “stifling” rather than publishing the allegations, b) understand Chris Coomber plans for proceeding & c) establishing a “bogus” relationship with Chris Coomber to provide the Conspirators with an “inside track” on any evidence subsequently being exposed.
32.The Victims’ investigations have now exposed highly further and material evidence which confirms that News International are concealing their involvement in what is a Criminal Conspiracy, through the abuse of the very vehicle set-up to expose such Criminality, i.e. “The Management & Standards Committee”…chaired by none other than Lord Grabiner QC, and “just happening” to be staffed, by Lord Grabiner, with lawyers who all “just happen” to already have close links with the Fraud & Cover-Up.
33.It was then also exposed that Ian & Tracy Grabiner, and their 3 Daughters, are close friends of Nick Leslau & his family / Sons, with Nick Leslau:
a. Being “like a Brother” (his own words) with Franco Sidoli, a person who “just happens” to have been an investor in both the Greystones Site (through PSPF LLP) AND another of the Victim’s sites (again through PSPF LLP) which was also targeted by this Fraud Scheme.
b. Also being exposed as having entered into a massive-scale Fraudulent Insolvency Related Transaction with none other than…Alan Bloom…with this Fraud Scheme (executed through Max Property…who purchased the Dunedin Industrious Property portfolio from Alan Bloom at a massive discount on its true value) executed in parallel with “The Greystones Fraud”.
34.Also exposed just days after the Victims’ orchestrated and unlawful Bankruptcies is a direct relationship between Paul Bloom, i.e. Alan Bloom’s Estate Agent Brother and Peter & Karen Goodkind.
35.It was also exposed that Ian Grabiner’s eldest Daughter, i.e. Jenna Grabiner:
a. Is one of the closet friends of a Jessica Moses, the daughter of Maurice Moses, who since February ’09 (the same month Martin Orrell was appointed) has been Alan Bloom’s E&Y colleague, with Alan Bloom having hired Maurice Moses into his UK Insolvency Practice.
Evidence also now shows that Maurice Moses and Alan Bloom conspired together, and with Andrew Samuels, in another Insolvency Related Fraud…also involving Daniel Levy…a Fraud relating to the Administration of “Bridisco Ltd” and the sale of the company’s land to THFC, a Fraud which the Conspirators have also attempted to “unwind” within just a few days of the first Internet Publication, i.e. in early March ’12, of these allegations by Chris Coomber.
b. Is also one of the closest friends of Jessica Metliss, i.e. the Daughter of Michael Metliss, with Michael Metliss being:
i. The Brother of Jonathan Metliss, the Davenport Lyons Partner who interfered in the Victims’ Legal Representation (with the Victims’ fateful introduction to Davenport Lyons facilitated by another Co-Conspirator) to allow the Fraudulent Sale Transaction go through unchallenged…against the instructions and interests of the Victims (and the parties paying his Firm’s bill)…and directly in the interests of many parties now intimately linked to the Metliss family…inc. Alan & Peter Bloom, Peter Goodkind, Daniel Levy and Ian & Paul Grabiner.
ii. The Son of Cyril Metliss, Sir John Ritblat’s close colleague, i.e. at British Land, for several decades.
iii. A Legal Advisor to Sir John Ritblat…i.e. Peter Goodkind’s Business Partner.
iv. An ex-School mate of both Alan & Peter Bloom.
v. The husband of Shelley Metliss, also known to be a friend of Karen Goodkind, i.e. Peter Goodkind’s wife.
c. Spent most of her “gap year” on a trip to Israel with both Jessica Metliss and Jessica Moses as her closest companions.
d. Is a friend of one of Daniel Levy’s Son’s, i.e. Oliver Levy.
e. Is also a friend of Nick Leslau’s Sons.
36.It was also exposed that Ian Grabiner’s other Brother, i.e. Mark Grabiner, is an associate of the family of Paul Kemsley, another direct neighbour of the site, the business associate of the Co-Conspirator Michael Harris, and the close friend / Business Partner of Daniel Levy.
37.It was further exposed that the children of Stephen Grabiner and those of his (and Michael Grabiner’s) other Brother, i.e. Robert Grabiner, are both very close friends of the twin daughters of Peter Bloom.
38.Most recently, and with every prior and subsequent Judicial Office Holder involved in the Victims’ Proceedings (both for and against) having already been exposed as having links with the Accused, evidence was exposed suggesting that Justice Arnold (i.e. the High Court Judge who “just happened” to push through the Victims’ Bankruptcies, just days before Xmas ’11, in their absence when seriously ill) & his family have close links with the Bloom, Grabiner & Goodkind families, as well as to other parties linked to the Fraud Scheme & Cover-Up.
Upon being asked to confirm or deny these relationships, Justice Arnold refused, simply and incorrectly stating, via his Clerk, that “the case is closed”.
39.It has also been exposed that Paul Grabiner also “just happens” to live in the small Hertfordshire Village of Brookmans Park, where:
a. Barry McGrath, i.e. the Builder who “just happened” to purchase, through “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd”, the Greystones Site, also resides.
b. Paul Grabiner’s family home, and home office, “just happens” to be located within a few tens of yards of the office of Barry McGrath’s Accountant who “just happens” to have set-up “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd” within just hours of an exposed phone call between Alan Bloom & Paul Bloom, a phone call made in response to Chris Coomber physically taking possession of the Site…in turn in response to the emergence of serious irregularities in the Evaluation & Sale Process.
c. Statons, the Estate Agent who “just happened” to be appointed as Sales Agents for the completed Houses also have their main office located within just a few tens of yards of Paul Grabiner’s home.
d. The Statons Estate Agent, i.e. Dean Leslie, who “just happened” to be appointed to deal with these houses (after Chris Coomber forced the intended Purchasers to withdraw) “just happens” to be the son of the Business Partner of TWO of Alan Bloom’s long term friends / associates, Melvyn Carter & John Alexander…BOTH of whom are ALSO implicated in the Fraud Scheme.
e. Specifically, John Alexander and Melvyn Carter, as Insolvency Practioners having been introduced to Chris Coomber by a party also attempting to financially benefit from the Administration of KSF, and gravely breaching his Fiduciary Duties to the Victims in doing so, also gave “bogus” advice to Chris Coomber (and claimed to have the “inside-track” on the Administration) in a clumsy attempt to ensure that Chris Coomber himself could be argued to have caused the KSF Loan to be called-in…which would have “cleared the way” for the Fraud Scheme to progress with even less risk that if Alan Bloom was forced (as he ultimately was) to orchestrate the calling-in of the Loan.
f. However, Chris Coomber largely discounted the advice of these parties given that there were clearly “on the make”, although that did not stop them both from continuing to make grave False Representations to him in an attempt to “voluntarily” place “Greystone Houses Ltd” into Administration…to then allow Alan Bloom to call-in the loan.
g. Many months later it was subsequently exposed that not only were these parties close & long-term friends / associates of Alan Bloom, they were actually WORKING WITH Alan Bloom, at the very time of this initial connivance, on another Administration.
h. Further, it is also known that Dean Leslie &/or his Sister are also friends of,
i. The Daughter of Stephen Grabiner.
ii. The Daughter, Nephews & Niece of Daniel Levy.
iii. The Daughter of Michael Harris.
iv. The Daughter of Michael Metliss.
v. The Son & Daughter of Justice Arnold (TBC)
vi. The Niece of Karen Goodkind.
vii. Several individuals who are part of the wider Goodkind family.
viii. The Niece of an Insolvency Advisor (i.e. John Alexander) who gave “bogus” advice to Chris Coomber, upon an introduction by the Victims’ “on the make” Accountant Keith Graham.
ix. The Nephew of Keith Graham.
x. The Wife & Children of a “Bogus” Bidder, i.e. James Margolin, for one of the Victim’s remaining assets (see below)…exposed as a close friend of Andrew Samuels AND Melyvn Carter…an Insolvency Practitioner who also gave “bogus” advice to Chris Coomber, acting as a “tag-team” with John Alexander.
xi. The Daughter & Nieces of Paul Cramer, an Investor in the Site, the Victims’ Solicitor, a Co-Conspirator in a number of Fraud Schemes, and the exposed friend of Melvyn Carter AND Tony Gibber…the other “Bogus” Bidder for the above asset.
xii. The Daughter of another Insolvency Advisor (i.e. Kevin Goldfarb…the Business Partner of Clive Goodkind) who gave “bogus” advice to Chris Coomber, at the behest of Michael Harris.
xiii. The Son of Mike Ashley…who, with intimate links with Freshfields & other of the Accused, was seemingly able to extricate himself from KSF (where he had massive scale deposits and loans) before its collapse…a “phenomenon” reportedly investigated by the SFO.
40.Further, it was also exposed that the Libel Lawyer that Alan Bloom “just happened” to retain, i.e. Olswang’s Geraldine Proudler, “just happens” to personally have large-scale commercial common interests (through the Apax / Guardian Media Group large-scale Joint Ventures…with Geraldine Proudler exposed as a Trustee of the Scott Trust which controls the Guardian Media Group) with none other than Stephen Grabiner, i.e. Ian & Paul Grabiner’s First Cousin, with these Grabiner family members being born within a c12 month window.
41.It was also exposed that Olswang, and specifically two of Geraldine Proudler closest colleagues, i.e. Dan Tench & Mark Devereux “just happened” to be appointed by none other than Lord Grabiner QC (another First Cousin of Ian & Paul Grabiner, and one of Ian Grabiner’s closest Business Associates…with Lord Grabiner being Chairman of Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group) to News International’s “Management & Standards” Committee, i.e. the pseudo-independent body charged with exposing the evidence of Criminality within News International, with Lord Grabiner appointed by Rupert & James Murdoch in July ’11…and with Lord Grabiner being known as a long term Legal Advisor to the Murdochs.
42.It must also be noted that:
a. It was Investigative Journalists within the Sunday Times, and Times Newspapers’ (owned by News International) Legal Head Alastair Brett who connived with Geraldine Proudler, and it is believed with members of the Grabiner family, to initiate the Cover-Up in July ’09…upon the Victims launching a Civil Fraud Claim in the High Court.
b. Stephen Grabiner has a long-term association / relationship with Rupert Murdoch.
c. Stephen Grabiner also has a long-term association / relationship with Prime Minister David Cameron.
d. Stephen Grabiner himself was recently appointed by Rupert Murdoch, in ’12, as a Director of Times Newspapers, to “back-fill” the role of The Murdochs…and effectively “to do their bidding”.
43.With regard to the exceptionally well-evidenced allegations of Judicial Corruption relating to this case, and ALL of the related Proceedings within the Royal Courts of Justice:
a. All FIVE of the Judicial Office Holders who “just happened” to have been directly involved in the Victims’ blatantly corrupted initial Civil Fraud Claim, and having personally acted improperly to “stifle” the allegations (i.e. Deputy Master Arkush, Justice Lewison, & Lord Justices Mummery, Rix & Gross) have now been exposed as ALL having close associations with the Cousins of Ian Grabiner, and in particular with Lord Grabiner QC, who also has common business interests with Ian Grabiner, i.e. through the Arcadia Group.
b. All FOUR of the Appeal Court Judges who have now been involved in the Applicants’ current Appeal Court Applications (which remain undetermined at the time of writing for between approaching 5 & 7 months, and which are being treated highly irregularly) have been exposed as either having confirmed relationships / common interests with Lord Grabiner QC (i.e. in 2 cases), or who (in 1 case) refuse to deny that they have relationships / associations with the Accused, or have been exposed as having lied about having links / associations with the Accused (in the remaining case).
c. Also, it was upon the October ’10 submission of the initial evidence linking both Ian Grabiner and Paul Grabiner to this Fraud Scheme to Justice Eady, who was sitting in the Libel Hearing of Alan Bloom’s & Thomas Burton’s Claim against their Victim / Accuser Chris Coomber, that this Libel Claim was rushed through to completion by the Grabiner family’s associate Geraldine Proudler.
This “rushing through” was achieved through the rarely used provisions (also used by Daniel Levy…using a Barrister shown to be close colleague of the Barrister used by Geraldine Proudler…who in turn was exposed for working with News International at that very time) which allow the Court to give “Summary Judgment” against those accused of Defamation, without there even being a Trial (i.e. a proper opportunity to explore the evidence)…and with reporting restrictions preventing any publication of the allegations because of previously awarded (again with no involvement of the Accused) Injunctions.
In any event the Accused, inc. members of the Grabiner family, were safe in the knowledge that Chris Coomber was refusing to defend this Claim on the basis of the Judicial Corruption / Malfeasance which had previously been exposed, i.e. involving Deputy Master Arkush, Justice Lewison, Lord Justices Mummery, Rix & Gross.
With the Victims not even aware of the involvement of members of the Grabiner family at the time of these corrupted Judgments…the clear and unequivocal inference is that these Judicial Office Holders possessed knowledge which the Victims / Claimants did not, and acted in Breach of their Judicial Oaths (and Civil & Criminal Law) to “stifle” not only the Victims’ / Claimants’ evidence, but the evidence that they themselves possessed.
At this time Justice Eady (who has long term links with News International) refuses to confirm or deny that he too has relationships / associations / common interests with any member of the Grabiner family…despite these allegations being recently made against him within just a few days of an Application of Geraldine Proudler to extend & strengthen the incredible and completely unlawful Restraining Order against Chris Coomber…an appalling Court Sanction initially applied and now renewed despite the unequivocal evidence of the truth of the allegations being exposed and provided to the Court…and most recently to Justice Eady.
Justice Eady’s completely dishonest, and it is asserted unlawful / Criminal, way of “side-stepping” this evidence (a practice which these Judicial Office Holders are “world-class” at) and of avoiding having to disclose his links with the Accused / the Grabiner family, and of maintaining this appalling Sanction against Chris Coomber (which seriously limits the Victims’ access to the Civil Justice System as a whole), was simply to orchestrate the back-dating of his Order to the very day that the Application was submitted to the Court…i.e. to just before he was provided with this evidence and the associated complaint of Chris Coomber.
This literally incredible turn-around of this Application against Chris Coomber, i.e. within just hours of submission, stands in remarkable contrast to the Appeal Court’s treatment of the Victims’ Applications which remain undetermined (by Judges also linked to the Accused) for a period of between approaching 5 & 7 months.
Indeed, at this time 2 of the 4 recently involved Appeal Court judges (i.e. Lord Justices Gross & Rimer…over and above the previously involved Lord Justices, i.e. Lewison, Mummery & Rix…and with LJ Gross also having been involved in the previous case) have been exposed as associates of Lord Grabiner (upon which basis both of these Judges have been forced to recuse themselves from this case), one of these Judges (LJ Tomlinson) is refusing to confirm or deny having any relationships with the Accused, and the remaining Judge (i.e. LJ Patten) has been shown to have lied about the existence of any links with the named Accused…before he presided over the most blatantly corrupt Hearing yet on the 13th November ’12.
d. Evidence has also been exposed which points to relationships between Ian, Paul & Stephen Grabiner and the Bankruptcy Registrar Clive Hugh Jones who “just happened” to be:
i. The Registrar who wound up the Victims’ defrauded company “Vision Contemporary Homes Ltd” in April ‘12, in gravely irregular circumstances (inc. with the Barrister exposed as being a close associate of the Lewison family...& with Chris Coomber even banned from speaking upon threat of Criminal sanctions), without any proper justification…an act which simply and intentionally “robbed” the Victims of their Legal Status to bring Civil Proceedings on behalf of their own Company, even in the event that their Bankruptcies are annulled.
ii. The Registrar who “popped-up” as sitting in the recently scheduled Public Examinations of the Victims (scheduled for the very day after the corrupt Hearing with LJ Patten), with another Registrar having originally been scheduled to take this Hearing…that is before the Victims submitted a Statement to the Court outlining the evidence of grave Criminality relating to their Bankruptcies.
e. Evidence has also, very recently, been exposed which strongly suggests that The High Court Judge who presided over the appalling and blatantly unlawful Personal Bankruptcies of the Victims, i.e. Justice Richard Arnold, also has numerous relationships / associations with (amongst several others of the Accused…and with Justice Arnold refusing to deny these allegations) members of the Grabiner family, inc. with Paul Grabiner and with Mark Grabiner, the other brother of Ian Grabiner.
44.It has also been exposed that (as he is now) Lord Justice Lewison is an associate of Michael Grabiner and his wife Jane Grabiner. Whilst obviously significant to this case, evidence also demonstrates that Justice Lewison also “just happened” to sit in a Hearing relating to the highly controversial Administration of “Wind Hellas Ltd”.
45.The significance of this being:
a. This Hearing was held within just a few days of Justice Lewison’s commitment being made (i.e. in late November ’09) to intervene in the Greystones case, for the benefit of his friends and associates.
b. At this “Wind Hellas Ltd” Hearing Justice Lewison gave the Court’s blessing to the UK’s largest ever “Pre-Pack Administration”, i.e. where a company is allowed to shed debt before it is simply sold back to its previous owners.
c. In this case the bondholders who invested in this Greek Telecoms company lost a staggering £1.4bn (yes billion) of their investments.
d. “Wind Hellas” was initially sold to the Owner (the same Owner to whom the Court allowed it to be sold back to) by none other than Apax Partners, the Venture Capital firm at which both Stephen Grabiner (with his links with the Accused and with Geraldine Proudler) AND his Brother Michael Grabiner (who also has linked with the Accused), were Partners.
e. It was Michael Grabiner himself, whilst at Apax, who not only handled this investment and was a Director of this Company, but who also loaded this Company up with staggering amounts of debt before: i) extracting a €1bn and reportedly irregular “Dividend” from the Company & ii) then selling on the Company.
f. Not only were E&Y appointed as Administrators to “Wind-Hellas”, i.e. whose Application was considered by Justice Lewison, 2 of Alan Bloom’s closest colleagues “just happened” to be those same Administrators, i.e. Alan Hudson (who participated in the Fraud exposed in relation to “Bridisco Ltd” and Daniel Levy) and Maggie Mills (also a fellow Administrator at Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander, and who was involved in the Greystones Fraud Scheme).
g. It was also later exposed that E&Y were the auditors for “Wind-Hellas”, a role which should have directly precluded E&Y from acting as Administrators.
h. Even before the Administration of this Company there was reportedly pressure for Apax, and specifically for Michael Grabiner, to explain just how this previously successful high growth Company, which could, according to the Accounts, sustain these massive levels of debt, “just happened” to financially decline so badly after the sale…to quickly become insolvent.
i. Such are the highly irregular circumstances of the “Wind-Hellas” case that it is subject to a number of investigations (both Private and Public), and was also subject to a subsequent ruling at the High Court, by Justice Sales, which cast grave doubt over the legality of those involved in this Scheme, inc. E&Y, and these specific Administrators.
j. In a “nutshell” Justice Lewison, again without declaring his relationships with parties linked to the case, presided over the “sign-off” of an Administration which served to directly protect the interests of his friend / associate Michael Grabiner…and to “legalise” what appears to be a blatant Fraud of in excess of €1bn…i.e. another Insolvency Related Fraud closely linked to the Grabiner family…AND closely linked to the Greystones Fraud Scheme.
46.It must also be noted that Michael Grabiner, as CEO of Energis, applied the same “Modus Operandi” before joining Apax. Specifically Michael Grabiner “loaded-up” Energis with massive debts, and departed (to join Apax) just before this debt burden destroyed this Company, at which point, working it seems with none other than Alan Bloom & Maggie Mills at the E&Y, he attempted to mount a bid to buy-back this company, at a fully “distressed” price…i.e. after he had personally presided over the “teeing-up” of the collapse of that same Company.
It was only upon the Lenders raising concerns about what was effectively a “back-door” Pre-Pack Administration that this deal (which E&Y reportedly strongly supported against significant opposition) fell apart…although the damage to the Investors / Lenders had largely been done by that point.
47.It is also known that it was upon the advice of Lord Grabiner QC to the Labour Government (who made him a Peer) that the Insolvency & Administration of Railtrack was orchestrated for political / ideological reasons, with Alan Bloom then “just happening” to be appointed as Administrator.
48.Alan Bloom presided over an Administration process, along with Alastair Darling as the new Transport Secretary (who later appointed Alan Bloom as Administrator to KSF…having retained Alan Bloom for some considerable time before the Administration as orchestrated) through which tens of thousands of Railtrack Investors lost a large proportion of their monies.
49.In a shameful process, Alan Bloom’s close colleague Michael Crystal QC (a person linked to the Cover-Up of the Greystones Fraud) played a key role, supposedly FOR the Railtrack’s Shareholders (who lost their case for their desired level of compensation) and in theory AGAINST Alan Bloom…with Michael Crystal QC reportedly taking a further £1mn of these Victims’ monies for his fees.
50.It is also worthy of mention that Lord Grabiner QC was also intimately involved in the “Cash for Honours” Scandal involving Tony Blair, a Scandal which is widely believed to have triggered the resignation of Tony Blair as Prime Minister in mid ’07.
51.Specifically Lord Grabiner QC, whilst being a known friend / associate of Tony Blair, acted for a number of his friends who were exposed as having provided loans / donations to the Labour Party / Tony Blair in return (it was alleged…and confirmed as being likely to have been the case by the Police) for Peerages…with one of those parties, Barry Townsley, subsequently exposed as:
a. Having been investigated for insider dealing in relation to Railtrack Shares, where Mr Townsley (who had previously been banned from Stockbroking for Misconduct), just before the announcement that the Labour Government would fund a partial compensation package for investors, “just happened” to purchase 500,000 of these shares, making a massive profit for his Client (the identity of whom has apparently never been exposed) within just a few days.
b. A co-Director, with Lord Grabiner QC himself, of “Wentworth Golf Club”, a Club bought by none other than Richard Caring, one of Ian Grabiner’s and Sir Philip Green’s closest friends and business associates.
c. A close friend of the Goodkind family.
d. A close associate of / co-Director with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg’s father at United Trust Bank.
52.On the basis of the above, it is quite clear that Alan Bloom & E&Y have previous “form” with members of the Grabiner family AND their friends…and “lots of it”.
53.Further, Lord Grabiner QC has also been exposed as having intimate links with Freshfields, i.e. the Administrators’ law firm whose staff members, and particularly Sarah Parkes:
a. Knowingly executed the unlawful Sale Transaction for the Greystones Site to benefit the Bloom, Grabiner & Goodkind families.
b. Advised Alan Bloom & Thomas Burton on the Fraud Scheme itself.
c. Defended the Civil Fraud Claim against Alan Bloom & Thomas Burton, using more of the defrauded KSF’s Creditors’ monies to pay their massive fees.
d. Perjured themselves on many occasions, and committed a number of grave “Contempts of Court”.
e. Pushed through the Victim’s Bankruptcies (again paid for by the defrauded Creditors) in their absence and nearly causing the death of Chris Coomber, in the full knowledge that it was their own, and the Administrators’, Criminal acts which directly led to these appalling Bankruptcies.
54.It was also Sir Philip Green’s & Lord Grabiner QC’s close links with Freshfields which led to the scandal of the Freshfields Senior Corporate Finance Partner Barry O’Brian being charged & found guilty of Professional Misconduct, in relation to his & Freshfields’ work on the Marks & Spencer bid being mounted by Sir Philip Green…work unlawfully undertaken despite having a known conflict of interest.
55.It is also important to note that Sir Philip Green, as part of the fundraising for this Bid, worked with Richard Sharp, at that time a Goldman Sachs Banker…and none other than the Husband of Justice Victoria Sharp who also stands accused of acting improperly in relation to the Victims’ Civil Proceedings.
56.Specifically it “just happened” to be Justice Sharp who refused the Victims’ recent Application to lift the E&Y Injunction (the same Injunction protecting the Grabiners & Sir Philip Green), on the basis of the grave non-disclosures / misleading of the Court / Perjury by the Applicants / Accused, inc. by Alan Bloom himself.
57.Further, it was Justice Sharp’s declaration that the Victims’ Application was entirely without merit (despite the evidence being in front of her…which she ignored) which provided the “ammunition” for Geraldine Proudler’s recent Application to extend the Restraining Order against Chris Coomber, despite Chris Coomber having:
a. Exposed the evidence which confirms that every allegation ever made is true.
b. That the Judgments upon which the initial Retraining Order was based, are both superseded by this “fresh” evidence, and are fatally discredited / tarnished by exceptionally well evidenced allegations of Judicial Malfeasance / Corruption…evidence which the Appeal Court simply refuses to recognise, let alone independently deal with.
58.Furthermore, Richard & Victoria Sharp (with an estimated wealth of a reported £500mn) have also now been exposed as not only large-scale donors to the Conservative Party, but also to be close associates of both David Cameron and George Osborne.
59.It cannot escape mention that not only have the Metropolitan Police undeniably acted improperly to support this Cover-Up, inc. the relentless harassment of Chris Coomber, Lord Grabiner QC has close links with the Met Police itself, inc. through:
a. His membership of the “Independent Police Commission”, otherwise known as “The Stevens Commission”, chaired by Lord Stevens, the ex-Met Police Commissioner (2000-2005)…with: i) Lord Grabiner’s involvement in this initiative seemingly deleted from his “Wiki” Internet entry & ii) Lord Stevens himself having intimate & recent links with News International, which he severed upon the exposure of “Hackgate” in ’11.
b. His work for News International (for which he is reportedly paid a staggering £3,000 per hour) which involves intimate liaison with the Met Police, inc. at the most senior levels.
60.In yet another “curious coincidence”, Steven Grabiner is also known to be an associate of Lord Stevens, through their co-Directorships of Travelex…with Travelex “just happening” to be controlled by none other than…Apax.
61.It is also known that Lord Grabiner QC has an close association / friendship with both Maurice Moses AND with Rosalind Wright, the ex-Director of the SFO (’97 thru ’03) including with:
a. Lord Grabiner QC being a Director of “The Jewish Association For Business Ethics”, or JABE, from ’94 thru ’08.
b. Rosalind Wright, in parallel with her role as Director of the SFO, joined JABE as a Director in ’99, and is now the Vice Chairman of this organisation.
c. Maurice Moses being a Director of JABE since ’01, and now being the Chairman.
d. I.e. Lord Grabiner, Maurice Moses & Rosalind Wright managed JABE, together, for a full 7 years, with a proportion of that time being whilst Rosalind Wright was head of the SFO.
62.The recent “mass-exodus” of EIGHT (i.e. the majority) of the Directors of JABE, starting in January ’12 when it became clear that:
a. Chris Coomber had nearly died as a result of the Fraud & Cover-Up;
b. the links between the Accused & both the SFO and JABE had been exposed,
c. the fact that the SFO’s Lead Counsel had been bought lunch, and on several occasions, by either a number of the Accused, or their representatives, had been exposed;
d. the Victims had decided to launch a Private Criminal Prosecution, inc. against corrupt Judicial Office Holders;
…is NOT considered to be a coincidence, not least with:
a. A number of these Directors also having personal links with the Accused…i.e. links over and above those with the JABE Chairman Maurice Moses.
b. The acute embarrassment associated with the Chairman of an organisation set-up to espouse honestly and transparency in business, and a number of its regular “patrons” & speakers, inc. Jonathan Metliss, Lord Justice Rix, Sir John Ritblat & Nick Leslau, being so intimately connected with a Criminal Fraud Scheme, and a Criminal Cover-Up of that Fraud Scheme.
63.Formal allegations against Lord Grabiner QC were made on the 13th September ‘12, i.e. that he has been involved in a Criminal Cover-Up to protect his Cousins, Sir Philip Green, his family reputation, his well reported prospects of being appointed Lord Chancellor in the future, and hence himself, in an “Open Letter” which was published on the Internet and copied to a number of parties including the Prime Minister, The Met Police Commissioner, and Lord Chief Justice.
64.Despite the publication of this damning letter Lord Grabiner QC has not responded in any way, not even with a letter alleging defamation.
65.That said, within 72 hours of the publication of this letter the Victims’ car was deliberately rammed in a “hit and run” style incident directly outside their family home, in broad daylight, by a masked man (according to eye witnesses) driving a car with false number plates (according to the Police).
66.This blatant intimidation believed to have been initiated by the Co-Conspirator of the Grabiner family Michael Harris...with Michael Harris recently exposed as retaining the services, on a full-time basis, of a “Bodyguard / Fixer” with intimate links with London’s Criminal Underworld.
67.Indeed, this “Bodyguard / Fixer” was suspected by Police as being the gunman &/or the driver in one of the most violent Gangland killings (committed in late ’03) ever seen on British soil, with Michael Harris also known to boast that he “got-off” this individual through his influence with the Metropolitan Police.
68.It is also now exposed that the Administrators’ Barrister, i.e. Tom Smith of 3-4 South Square, as well as being the Barrister who colluded with Freshfields & Alan Bloom / Thomas Burton, and who was and still is intimately involved in the Judicial Corruption at the Royal Courts, ALSO has, via his closest Chambers colleague Daniel Bayfield (also a Barrister to Alan Bloom), an association with:
a. The Grabiner family, and in particular with Stephen & Michael Grabiner.
b. The Sacker family, i.e. investors in the Site (and with both Richard & Anthony Sacker amongst the Accused) via the Mezzanine Finance Company PSPF…with these Brothers being the intended beneficiaries of Deputy Master Arkush’s, Justice Lewison’s & Lord Justice Gross’s corrupted Judgments.
c. And hence, with Justice Lewison himself…and associate of both the Bayfields and the Sackers.
69.It was also exposed that Tom Smith “just happens” to be a close associate of the Judge, i.e. Justice Stadlen, who Geraldine Proudler “just happened” to ensure determined her July ’10 Application, on behalf of Alan Bloom & Thomas Burton, for an Injunction against Chris Coomber…with other links between links between Geraldine Proudler and Justice Stadlen also exposed.
70.Most recently even close links & common interests between Prime Minister David Cameron and the Accused have also been exposed…links which David Cameron refuses to comment upon:
a. It was both Sir Philip Green (one of the UK’s most prolific Tax Avoiders) AND his CEO Ian Grabiner who were bizarrely & with appalling judgement appointed by David Cameron himself in August ’10 (just a few weeks after Lord Justice Gross had dismissed the Victims’ Application to Appeal) to undertake a Review of Government Spending…working with George Osborne & The Treasury.
b. David Cameron (as fully documented elsewhere) is now known to have a myriad of relationships / associations / common interests with:
i. The Grabiner family…and over and above Ian Grabiner, and including Lord Grabiner QC, Stephen Grabiner and Michael Grabiner.
ii. The family of Daniel Levy…with Daniel Levy’s parents now known to be (or to have been, with Sonia Levy having recently passed away):
1. Close friends of the parents of David Cameron’s “best-friend”, i.e. the Conservative Party Fundraiser, and now Conservative Party Chairman, Lord (Andrew) Feldman…with Andrew Feldman, and his parents, through their company “Joyroma (London) Ltd”, known to have been donors to David Cameron’s ’05 Conservative Party Leadership Campaign…with that Leadership Campaign orchestrated by none other than Andrew Feldman himself.
2. Fellow attendees / members, of the small & exclusive “Hartsbourne Golf & Country Club”, with none other than the Co-Conspirators Richard Sacker and his wife, Graham Goodkind and his wife, Robert Bloch, other relatives of Daniel Levy, Jonathan Metliss and even Alan Bloom…who lives very close to this Club (and with a Club Membership registered to his home address)…as do Andrew Feldman’s parents and as do Daniel Levy’s parents…directly next door to Robert Bloch & his wife in fact…in a luxury apartment building.
iii. Evidence very recently exposed strongly suggests, as one would legitimately suspect given the long term relationship between their parents, that there also exists a direct relationship between Daniel Levy himself, and his Brother Robert Levy, and Lord Feldman.
iv. All evidence pointing to both the Grabiner family AND the Levy family having exploited this most intimate of connections with the Prime Minister, and common interests between David Cameron and other close friends / associates of the Accused (who “just happen” to be Conservative Party Treasurers) to provide unofficial, effectively “State Sponsored” and completely illegal “Immunity from Prosecution” for the Accused, through the well-evidenced subversion / corruption of a number of our Institutions…inc. the Royal Courts of Justice, the Metropolitan Police, HMRC, the Serious Fraud Office & The Insolvency Service.
71.Finally, there exist a number of other links between members of the Grabiner family, and their close associates, and with Daniel Levy, i.e. the other person exposed as having expressed some interest in the purchase (believed to be for an associate / family member / THFC player) of a complete home on this “stolen” Site. With the “Case For Fraud” against Daniel Levy outlined in a separate document, the evidence which links Daniel Levy & the Accused members of the Grabiner family are overviewed below:
a. The most obvious link being with the Administration of KSF, with Daniel Levy and his company ENIC (and his other company Raz Air Ltd) being exposed as one of the largest Borrowers of this failed Bank…with Daniel Levy “somehow” able to seemingly fully extricate himself (and THFC) from the Bank’s collapse…inc. being able to secure an interest free loan for a Private Jet…an incredible “Settlement” (or rather “Gift”) signed-off by none other than…Thomas Burton.
b. With their links with the Grabiner family established above, Andrew & Bernard Samuels are known to have purchased their office space from none other than Paul Kemsley, whose own father, i.e. the Accountant Ken Kemsley, is known to have operated from these same small offices, after this sale, and whilst employed by Paul Kemsley’s & Daniel Levy’s Property Company i.e. “Rock”.
c. The Business Partners of Alan Bloom, i.e. Bernard & Andrew Samuels, have a Son / Brother named Alan Samuels, who is a Solicitor. It is also known that Alan Samuels, who also operates his small Legal Practice from this same office space, has been involved in Property transactions involving Paul Kemsley & Daniel Levy.
d. It is also known that both of the parties who attempted to purchase the Freehold to the Victims’ only remaining Property Asset, and who both acted to “spoil / delay” this Sale Process (i.e. until it was too late…i.e. when the Victim’s had been made Bankrupt) “just happen” to be close friends of Andrew & Alan Samuels.
e. Also, the most aggressive of these 2 Bidders, i.e. Tony Gibber, was also then exposed as a friend of at least two members of Daniel Levy’s closest family members (inc. his Brother Robert)…and a friend of another Co-Conspirator (Paul Cramer)…who is a supposed beneficiary of the Victims’ Bankruptcies…having, as the Victim’s Solicitor, secured a 2nd Charge over the Victims’ family home by unlawful / fraudulent means.
f. As their only saleable asset, and in the belief that their Bankruptcies could never be successfully pushed through at the Royal Courts, the Victims were attempting to sell this asset to allow them to fund their ongoing attempts to sue the Conspirators for their massive damages.
g. Tony Gibber (now also exposed as having a myriad of other links with involved parties…and apparently with the very Judge who Ordered these Bankruptcies!), after the Victims had been made Bankrupt in December ’11 and had withdrawn the Freehold from Sale, once again attempted to purchase this Freehold…effectively attempting to:
i. Entrap the Victims into committing a Criminal Act…i.e. having any dealings with any companies after having been made Bankrupt.
AND
ii. Secure a position (likely on behalf of the Conspirators who had already attempted, through unlawful means, to take possession of this last remaining prized asset…and with heavily implicated LPA Receivers already exposed as being “lined-up” to be appointed to this Site) of strength / influence over the orchestrated sale of this asset…and asset through which the Victims, via rentals, secure the vast majority of their limited remaining income…income which allows them to continue their fight against this rampant corruption.
h. Just before the supposed execution of the initial sale to Tony Gibber, the Heads of Terms Agreement was discovered to declare that none other than Alan Samuels was the Solicitor who would handle the Transaction…a disclosure which caused the Victims to pull-out, and to go on to expose Tony Gibber as a friend / associate of both the Levy family, and the Samuels family.
i. It is also known that the Brother of Paul Kemsley, i.e. Steve Kemsley, has an association / friendship with Michael & Jane Grabiner, not least with them living directly next door to Steve Kemsley & his family.
j. It is also known that Ian & Paul Grabiner’s other Brother, i.e. Mark Grabiner, lives on the same road to Steve Kemsley (and Mike Grabiner) and indeed the Sons of Steve Kemsley & Mark Grabiner are friends.
k. It is also known that Sir Philip Green is one of Paul Kemsley’s closest friends, with Paul Kemsley & Sir Philip Green (and Mike Ashley…with his own intimate connections to both the Accused, inc. to the Bloom family, and to the KSF & its Administration), reportedly dining together every Monday evening…at least until Paul Kemsley was forced to flee to the US after his business interests collapsed.
l. As testimony to the closeness of the relationship between Paul Kemsley & Daniel Levy:
i. Daniel Levy appointed Paul Kemsley as the Vice Chairman of THFC, with Paul Kemsley resigning, apparently “under a cloud”, in ’07.
ii. Daniel Levy and Paul Kemsley had numerous property interests in common, inc. with Daniel Levy being a Director of “Rock”, Paul Kemsley’s company which collapse owing the largely state-owned HBOS a reported £450mn.
iii. Daniel Levy, via a “Front Company”, purchased Paul Kemsley’s near complete 10,000ft2 Radlett Home in late ’08, when Paul Kemsley faced Personal Bankruptcy, and with Daniel Levy using a another Credit Facility with HBOS to replace Paul Kemsley’s HBOS Mortgage…and with HBOS then reportedly “writing-off” a £23mn Personal Loan to Paul Kemsley.
Simply stated, Daniel Levy helped Paul Kemsley place his personal assets beyond the reach of his Creditors, with Paul Kemsley it is reasonably believed still effectively retaining the beneficial ownership, and perhaps even the use, of this c£7mn Radlett home, despite ultimately being made Personally Bankrupt in the UK in March ’12.
m. It also cannot escape mention that:
i. Paul Kemsley, as a direct neighbour, was openly hostile to the Greystones site, after an incident outside of his home with a Contractor…an incident during & after which Paul Kemsley’s father in law, and then Paul Kemsley’s father, threatened violence against Chris Coomber’s Staff & Site Manager.
ii. Paul Kemsley bizarrely called Paul Bloom after this incident, knowing that Chris Coomber was in discussions with Paul Bloom regarding the sale of the completed homes, with Paul Bloom, at this time, discussing his close relationship with Paul Kemsley.
iii. It was later exposed that Paul Bloom & Barry Allsuch had sold a house near the Greystones Site, and on the same Private Road, to a THFC player, and at a time that they were attempting to secure the instruction to sell the 2 houses on the Greystones Site.
iv. Despite Barry Allsuch & Paul Bloom “name dropping” with abandon, and often resorting to complete lies when they did so, they made no mention whatsoever of this highly material sale to a THFC player.
v. It is also understand that Paul Kemsley and Michael Harris, also direct neighbours, in the words of a Third Party also involved, “do a little bit of business together”…which is again (and just like the comments in relation to Sir Philip Green) hard to reconcile with Michael Harris’s comments, at the time he was a Co-Conspirator in the Fraud Scheme involving Daniel Levy, that he barely knew Paul Kemsley.
n. Finally, the intimate links (i.e. as direct neighbours and co-Directors) between Robert & Andrew Bloch (exposed as Co-Conspirators with members of the connected Grabiner & Goodkind families) and the Parents of Daniel Levy were exposed some time ago, as was the fact that Robert Bloch also had / has a relationship with Paul Kemsley.
Indeed the intimate relationships between the Blochs and the Levys were exposed just a few days after Daniel Levy’s lawyer, i.e. Selwyn Tash, became embroiled in the Cover-Up and had denied any links between Daniel Levy and the Greystones site…all the time failing (and even in the subsequent Libel Hearing) to account for the sighting of Daniel Levy in the direct vicinity of the site which was reported in the Evening Standard in July ’09
Selwyn Tash, and indeed Daniel Levy, have also failed to account for how they “just happened”, for the malicious Libel Claim they subsequently brought against Chris Coomber AND Dawn Burrus and for the Injunction which they secured upon the allegations being made, to retain the services of a specific lawyer, i.e. Lawrence Kelly… given that Mr Kelly is the founding Partner with 2 other Lawyers in the tiny law firm Lawrence Stephens & Co, where:
i. Lawrence Kelly is a Criminal Fraud Specialist…not a Libel Lawyer, and is also an associate of Deputy Jonathan Arkush…one of the first Judicial Office Holders to have been involved in the Cover-Up within the Royal Courts of Justice.
ii. One of Lawrence Kelly’s Co-Founders, i.e. Steven Bernstein, “just happens” to be the very same lawyer who did all the legal work for PSPF relating to their loans to their Victims, and the 2nd Charges which PSPF then ab(used) in an attempt defraud the Borrowers AND the Borrowers’ main lenders.
iii. Both Steven Bernstein and the other Co-Founder, i.e. Stephen Messias, were exposed as themselves actually being co-Investors in another of PSPF’s Fraudulent Lending Schemes.
iv. Richard Sacker’s links with Lawrence Stephens were found to go back at least 10 years.
v. Steven Bernstein was incredibly exposed as being the Private School ex-classmate, and for many years, of both Andrew Feldman and his brother Jonathan Feldman.
Selwyn Tash was also then exposed as:
vi. A very close associate / friend of Paul Kemsley.
vii. A close associate of the Samuels Brothers & Bernard Samuels.
viii. Having operated his own Legal Practice out of the Samuels’ offices for some years.
ix. Personally being a regular visitor to Paul Kemsley’s rented Radlett home…a home directly overlooking the Greystones Site.
