Just sayin’ and what happened to him He in jail It does happen though. From the same article: ‘Many pointed out that far from being a triumph for Companies House, the lone prosecution throws into stark relief the lack of action it has taken against others responsible for setting up false companies – often with rather less laudable aims. The Italian Mafia reportedly managed to set up one UK firm with a director named as Ottavio Il Ladro di Galline ("The Chicken Thief"), whose occupation is listed as Truffatore ("fraudster").’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Have checked with a friend who works at Pinsent Masons (went to law school with him). He laughed and said "fucking barcode", but said it's not fake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Those of us on the N-O blue’s vs Red’s WhatsApp group already heard from HTT last night about how he was contacted by Eleven Sports who are running a campaign to sell corporate space at SJP, and this isn’t something that has been done in Ashley’s tenure. True to his word HTT provided us with a contact numbers, and I spoke to the guy who was making the calls. Apparently everything is up for grabs, not just corporate boxes, but matchday and stadium sponsorship/advertisements. It might just be Ashley eventually changing and trying to increase revenue streams elsewhere, it might be an indication of a change in ownership. This isn't anything new, so wouldn't read too much into it. Eleven Sports reached out to my company around this time last season about taking some advertising in the ground in the following campaign. John Colby, by any chance? Nah, different guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny1403 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 As a lawyer in this area: - It's impossible for that company to be fake. It is possible for it to be fraudulently incorporated but you'd need a lot of personal information about the two directors, and would need to fraudulently impersonate Pinsent Masons, the law firm that has submitted the documents. The company is using PM's own, bespoke articles rather than the model articles, so any fraudster would need to have somehow obtained these as well. In short, it's real. - The two directors are not directors of any other UK company, so whatever they are involved with is something new to them and not run of the mill. - Companies established to acquire assets are often done so one or two days before completion of a deal. In other cases, they are established to ensure they have secured the name they want and then left on file for months while the deal is completed. - It is common for businesses to have more than one law firm acting for them in the M&A sphere, often on different deals. I know that MA has used different law firms in the past. It could well be that Pinsent Masons are acting as UK counsel for the buyer, not the seller. They would need UK lawyers themselves regardless.
