A north Yorkshire coast phosphate mine was the thing to invest in, until it was bought out overnight.

Yes I can see how the initial investment could be a right off but would like to know how goods instead of payment works ?? On return on investment

It nobbled me of £5KA north Yorkshire coast phosphate mine was the thing to invest in, until it was bought out overnight.
Mind you I could have sold at £11K at one point
Lesson learnt.

That's a good return on investment. Even the £100 a month sounds good.

What was the TB thing? Haven't seen it mentioned other than in the headlines. I thought Scotland was TB free?

We are but can still get caught out buying stuff in or inconclusive reactors! No idea about his herd though.

All those investors invested because they clearly wanted an "experience" connected with agriculture and that bloke is a bloody spiv. Its theft really

What was the lesson?
ALWAYS sell at the absolute top of the market?

Sounds good enough that they got between £800k and £1m of investment apparently. But if you put 10 grand in last month and lost the lot this month.....

I'm not thinking it's a good investment, but taking £100 a month and also being able to withdraw the capital after 5 years to me sounds tempting.

Presumably that’s how schemes such as this tempt people to part with their cash?

She killed herself after similar comments to some in this thread were posted online, comments made from people again who only knew half the story.
I don't anything about this farmer, and as I said in my previous posts, I don't necessarily agree with his decision.
That doesn't mean you should feel the need to berate him when he's most likely at his lowest. Hopefully he has plans to pay his investors back at some point, but is unable to comment due to legal implications.
Imagine how you would feel if you read some of the things some of you have written on this thread?
It would certainly tip me over the edge.
Just be kind.

How about the suffering caused by his reckless.
How about others not been paid & losing saving.
If he had done the decent thing & sold up, I would have agreed with you. He is a selfish grifter.
He can still sell up but he wants the money for himself.

I’m sorry but he’s played silly games now winning silly prizes… don’t play with feathers if you don’t want your arse tickled!

It clearly is. Not sure how the buying non organic stock out of the markets works though
?
