A HISTORY OF A CONMAN AND WHATS LEFT OF HIS COHORTS THE FINAL CHAPTER 25TH MAY 2011 On May 25th 2011 Meade PLC went into liquidation with Book debts of 28,000,000. Much has been posted on Mr. Gershfield in history part 1-2-3 Leaked information, spreadsheets, ex employees spoke out Court papers from Nevada, previous disqualifications and so Much more all this was made public knowledge. Files were put together and sent out to a great many organizations containing copies of all this information. While it was unclear in The beginning what effect if any these files might have. But patience was rewarded when customs and revenue took action Under Fraud and local compliance and demanded 2.2 million. This sum on top of the 12.7 million owed to Lloyds Tsb made it clear the game was up. Years of scheming. robbing Peter to pay Paul in spite of the untold millions scammed on payday loans in the USA Mr. Gershfield was unable it seems to balance the books. Years of dreaming up one crazy unsustainable business after another, years of endless meetings with his loyal band of minions, sitting in board rooms with Aaron in full flow Ian Harries by his side nodding like a silly dog on the dashboard of a car, while ivor Gershfield ever polite was in fact the brains behind the scenes. Over the years the minions came and went depending on Aarons mood on the day but a few have stayed the course with even fewer being rewarded with directorships in some of these bogus companies. Stephanie Kleyman joined this merry band over ten years ago as in- house solicitor for Meade Plc who advertised themselves as a growing group of over 25 international companies The trained hatchet lady was finally rewarded with her own two companies Zorro Law Ltd and the lesser-known Zorro law Personal services. (Due for strike off) Zorro law was used purely for in-house issues to get rid of staff that would be told they would be sued if they did not go quietly. Against creditors and here Ms Kleyman excelled by dragging out claims to the inth degree many of the letters were composed by Ian Harries (he did have some uses) but the sole purpose of this law firm was for Mr. Gershfields benefit alone. Much has been written on the characters of the players in this sorry saga so we have no need to go over them again. MEADE PLC WENT DOWN WITH 110 CREDITORS ACTULALLY OWED 1.5 MILLION THESE POOR COMPANIES WHO WILL NOT SEE ONE RED CENT AS THE ASSETS OF MEADE ARE LISTED AS NIL. The book value of actual debts is 17 million the rest of the so called 28 million is made up by the claims owed to the Harris Holdings and a few of his other small dormant companies, now as The Harris holdings is 100% Aaron Gershfield and Meade Plc has this daddy in 2009 accounts listed the Harris Holdings .It would seem he owes himself over 10 million. However you play this Mr. Gershfield still almost 30 companies active or dormant listed at Companies House Companies with proposal to strike off (8) Struck off and dissolved (9) thats approaching 50 companies out there with this man at the helm all having the Harris Holdings as the parent company. Some of theses companies still at Northway House now posing as tenants of the building, which now Lloyds Tsb technically own as the debts due to them are including the principle mortgage overdrafts and second mortgages are far larger than the current value of the badly neglected building. Will we see Mr. Gershfield Mr. Ivor Gershfield Mr. Ian Foster Harries Ms Stephanie Kleyman rise from the ashes as they have done in the past? This time we think not. (Although they might try) Thanks to the Internet the world now knows who they are? What they have done? The scams in minute detail. Every person who played a part in these scams they were well and truly outed And there is no putting Jack back in his Box. The Gang of four will slink off and try to blend into the woodwork. Ivor Gershfield now approaching his nineties and almost blind no longer a force in any business but well padded to see out the remainder of his life in comfort. Ian Harries complicit in every way might keep his huge house in west London his properties in Spain although much diminished in value plus the money he has hidden offshore. He has been exposed for the slime ball he is and everyone knows it. Stephanie Layman with her second house in the country but a tainted solicitor, who the law society has a huge amount of complaints against her will get her comeuppance in the end. Aaron Gershfield the daddy of them all this delusional character who while clever is possessed of a warped mind. His business empire in ruins. His bubble well and truly burst exposed as a common crook. Discredited, as that crook he is will no doubt will still have enough of the money he scammed sifted away in the many accounts procured for him by Yogesh Bafna over the years. The offshore companies registered all over the world under various names are well recorded. (Known by the Fraud Squad we made sure of that) Unfortunately for Aaron he cannot resist the chance to start a business but is totally incapable of doing it legally. He is also a compulsive waster of money as his past record has clearly shown. Offshore accounts will only last as long as they are fed. Meade Plc going into liquidation is just the tip of the iceberg. There are ongoing investigations to the rest of his business activities and for all time anytime anyone who Googles his Name or the names of his cohorts reams of information comes up and none of it makes good reading. Yogesh Bafna will vanish along with Northway House Sandeep will be tossed aside. All lesser minions will also find themselves with no job no income and no chance ever of being employed by a decent company. Are we sorry? Do we have regrets? In our part of the downfall of this bunch? Not a one. There is not a Media law firm no matter how big will get them out of this of course that is if they have the dosh to pay the bills. |
