Hirst for example on the ADBD website it says he's a board director of VST Enterprises, but when you search for John hirst VST Enterprises, nothing comes up. VST's website doesn't name him either despite listing their CEO and chairman.
It's all a bit odd.We discussed this about 6 weeks ago. It was noticeable how 'clean' their online footprint was.
I still can't fully understand how someone can apparently oversee 60 businesses...

When you set up a company here apart from paying the fees, you require a local sponsor and also office space in Abu Dhabi. I would guess (this is just my opinion so not fact) that ADBD are in some way involved in cherry picking companies they want to be associated with, they will 'sponsor' or invest in said company and perhaps also help out with providing space.
That way they may say they run or 'oversee' the company.
Nimer himself it seems is hardly ever even in the UAE, so he certainly isn't running anything when he's galavanting around europe.2 -

Even on their website it concedes as much and doesn't claim to be doing that:
"H.E. Tahnoon Nimer, Chairman of The Private Office of H. H. Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, oversees the running of circa 60 companies, that fall under the umbrella of the Private Office. Furthermore, he is an honorary member of the Youth Chamber of Commerce Abu Dhabi, and was distinguished as Global Ambassador for Peace in 2018."BenHaimandBikey said:cafcfan1990 said:AFKABartram said:Chris_from_Sidcup said:One thing that is very clear when you search for these guys, Hirst, van Seventer and Heller, there is very little info online about them.

I'm sure the OP is trying to uncover what is going on here.

I obviously don't have a horse in this race. I genuinely don't know who the good guy is, if there even is one.5

I really doubt Nimer is in charge of a Private Banking type enterprise, that is involved in the day to day running of 60 companies.
I think they are making what they do as opaque as possible and why would they do that ?
The likely answer is because they intentionally don't want the public to understand and by God it's working.
If (Lincs) or anyone can fully explain Nimer's business operation, then I'm sure we'd all like to know, because I've not yet found anyone that can.
Once again I wonder why no one can fathom it ?2 -
The current ADBD website shows many logos of partner / client companies including some very big names eg Coutts, HP, IBM, Lloyds of London, Shell.0

We need to stop comparing European/North American web histories, and does in the Middle East, and especially within those connected to the Royal Families, it’s a system that relies on secretive behaviour to protect the ruling class.2
-
Not that anyone needs any convincing about what ADBD is at this point, but it's worth mentioning that this website is now just their own logo.
Was clearly just a load of shite knocked up in 20 minutes to try and impress us all.

An elaborate fraud, which no one can fully understand.
One of the reasons they got a bit of credibility, was due to one or two of our fans, (Appy Addick I think, no offence intended), said they knew someone who had personal dealings with ADBD and they were bona fide.1 -

If anyone is in doubt that ADBD was a front for ‘the sting’, the website’s current status should confirm it.The ‘credible’ front it provided isn’t needed any more, I imagine some of the protagonists will do an Elliot(t) and change their names to try and avoid Google, and they’ll be seeking out the next ‘opportunity’ with generic public resumes and which will have less public scrutiny.1
