Wow. Have invested in the past in a fund marketed by Downing LLP. Seem to be a long shopping list of accusations they are facing.0

Absolutely wild statement. Never seen anything like it before0

I think someone’s having a QAnon moment. I tried looking up some of this. I finally tried the US attorneys quote, at its real, but nothing to do with Downing. It was Bank Julius Baer, a very old Swiss bank. I very much doubt they are being funded by Downing LLC.

And if your fund had any holding in Freeport McMorran, you would have been invested in a company that has been on the sharp end of an Amnesty International report. I think someone is taking some very tenuous relationships and making them sound as if Downing is the controlling interest.robinofottershaw said:Wow.

Response to the allegations on the Downing LLP website. The Staines website comments look very odd and you would imagine libellous1

Has their site been hacked? Seems too mental to be genuine0

No it was one of their VCT funds. Over the years they have divested a significant proportion of the assets they invested the fund in and paid back dividends. The remaining assets invested are in small UK renewable energy start up companies.SomervilleAddick said:

Batshit crazy! So, they just found out that someone else owns a parcel of land in one of the penalty boxes and has taken it back and is slipping in a couple of extra inches to the rings of Uranus tonight!! 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂😂Henry Irving said:

I think that Latin phrase at the end is the legal equivalent of saying “no return” after you’ve done “pinch punch first day of the month” 😂0
