The pondlife that are the members of AlbionVC llp sink to new lows in compliance for the 3 surviving VCTs.

I was saving this one for the Court hearing in December but someone seems to have finally woken up so I won't keep readers in suspense for any longer. 

The timing of the multi-year late filings at Companies House shows that it can only be the fualt of members of AlbionVC because the Directors of AAEV were clearly asleep at the wheel before the AGM as there were no correcting filings before that event, unlike the filings for AATG. 

The members of AlbionVC just tried to slip this under the radar and hoped no-one would notice.

Just look at the newly filed Articles and the "footnote"(!) on Directors pay limits. What else has also changed? DYOR.

Then consider the false declarations on the cover page designed by the pondlife at Benjamin Place to cover-up their sins of omission. Paid £200+k pa as Company Secretary. What a farce!

But it gets worse - all 3 VCTs are, and have been for years, in breach of the FCA Listing Rules. The details of which I will save for trial but any reader is welcome to do a simple check or contact me directly.

Seems to me that not a single member of AlbionVC can survive this one, and they all have to have their FCA authority revoked.

[UPDATE 18 September] The Albion website now contains links to the AAEV AGM recording (YouTube) and the presentation slides. The Chairman confirmed questions were received before the AGM as he and his colleagues had requested.  Mine were neither put to the meeting nor answered, nor were the properly made Points of Order and request for Adjournment. Those questions and requests are now available under terms of qualified privilege for AGMs at:     https://app.box.com/s/1uy3dablcgtvwfnned1m6ylehnqxduvc Readers attention is drawn to the admissions in the recording that Albion is now set on Annual fund raising further confirming the PONZI schemes being run by it and the VCT Directors. Will Fraser-Allen confirmed the falsity and scam of the QUANTEXA Series F "funds raised". Neither he nor the Chairman addressed the ZERO priced warrants that dilute Albion's valuation by £50,000,000. I wonder what hasty action is being taken by the Albion Crown Directors ahead of it's forthc...

[UPDATED 30 November for additional facts] Interesting to compare Albion's greed (59% of cash invested before any realisations) in the Quantexa affair with ..[ insert name of VCT PONZI scheme of your choice]

This is why Investment Managers annual and performance fees need to be scrapped for a "cost plus" until profits are realised: let us hope the Chancellor agrees. QUANTEXA offers an interesting insight for arguments to be put to The Chancellor in her requested "consultation". First off - well done Albion for spotting the opportunity - the only VCT that did, even with the bribery,  fraud and corporate failings in which they later indulged. (NB. AUDITORS AND "VALUERS" TO ALL PARTIES: BDO llp !) Total Cash Invested across all Albion VCTs (2017-2020):                                                       £10,075k  Annual fees paid (based on AADV 2.5% plus 20%) before any realised profit:                    £4,536k Performance fees paid in 2018 and 2020: £520k + £465k ...
