Not necessarily. What breach are you talking about ?

Oh dear. Looks like incompetence.

The SEC in the U.S. might be interested. Has the FSA done anything ?

The breach: When I ( a director who did some digging around and found out what was going on ) left the business, started a new one ( with my own cash, not members ) , poached staff and then aproached the Administrators to legally purchase the UK client base. According to my contracts ( which are implied , not signed ) - i am not allowed to compete in the UK as a conference call provider..

indeed, still, we have taken onboard your comments, and have opened up talks with the SEC and Department of Revenue in Pittsburth, who are very interested in whats going on. We have copy invoices showing that the USA company is charging the UK companies 17.5 sales tax to make them beleive its VAT. Department of Revenue state that sales tax is around 7% and are going to investigate immediatly.

the FSA dont seem too interested - 1) they are implicated by allowing a composite loan to count against capital adequacy and 2) they only really care about the end user ( joe public ). Still, they may well be doing something, just slowly.
