London Capital Finance Update 9th March

By J Drew -
The latest update from LCF has come from the administrators with an interview on BBC Moneybox today.

Presenter Paul Lewis spoke to Finbarr O'Connell from Smith & Williamson who confirmed that he expected that recovery may be as low as 20% of the money invested in the bonds so if you invested £10,000 you would only get £2000 back. This will come as a shock to bondholders who have attacked posts on this blog as scaremongering. Sadly it appears that they were reality all along.

The other incredible piece of information revealed in a separate interview with Finbarr was that NONE of the borrowers were cash generating businesses. This is exactly what I had highlighted back in January 2019 so it's reassuring to be proved right on this too.

There is also a news story on the main BBC website so it looks like there is finally traction on getting this story recognised.

    Hi,

    Thanks for update. From what I can understand Surge is not going to give back the £60m it has received from LCF as so called 'commission', are they going to get away this?!

    The law in this land is s###!

Investment in Concept Capital Group is being promoted on Facebook and Rightmove to solicit investment in their static caravans for rental to social housing tenants via Social Park Housing. Concept Capital Group are claiming to guarantee rental income of 10% but as investors in London Capital & Finance are fully aware, this sort of guarantee is fully dependent on the company making it still being in business. If the company fails for any reason then there will be no-one to support the guarantee or to return money to investors.  Update November 2024: It's reported on MSE that investors are struggling to get repayments of their investments with various excuses. If the company fails your guarantee disappears. Concept Capital Group have only existed since 2019 so have no track record of honouring investment guarantees over the long term.

Where are the People and assets behind LCF & their agent Surge Financial? London Capital & Finance owned a helicopter purchased by Andy Thomson.

According to the administrators one of the loans of £12 million was to a stables called Home Farm originally run by Spencer Golding but now owned by Sean Cubitt who was unable to provide any paperwork for the purchase of the company or for any of the horses. There were originally 85 horses apparently with a combined values of £15 million according to the owners but when the administrators visited they could only see 35 that had a value of less than £10,000 each. Sean Cubitt claimed that there was no bank account for the company that runs Home Farm. So a company with no bank account was loaned £12 million by LCF. Yet another example of the lies they told to investors about their lending process. We understand that the val...
