      My questions would be:

      1. Darren, why have you not made any public comment regarding these allegations, you appear to have been online today, seems strange you have not made a comment?

      2. According to the ACCA website, you no longer hold a practising certificate

      3. <admin>removed case specifics</admin>

      4. Even if Darren does not post on here, if I was a client I would be demanding a full explanation tomorrow.

        I was with Upton for well over 6 months - I left them in December as something did not smell right and Darren never bothered replying to my emails

        I actually posted on here at the time

        We still have not had a proper explanation about what the h*ll Upton was doing getting involved in a currency scheme - I ve asked before and the answer was 'Its going through court so cant say'

        I personally would stay WELL away from Upton pronto

          If anyone knows any professional bodies that Darren is associated with please PM me - I actually made a formal complaint to Upton and guess what (I heard nothing back)

          So are there any further avenues I can pursue

              I'll be phoning the police back with an update once I have spoken to them.

                    As per blacjac's edit post above please do not post specifics about the nature of the investigation on here.

                    We are all aware that there is a police investigation ongoing and that is all we would like to put on here at present.

                    Please do not post specifics of the alleged offences.

                    Many Thanks,

                    Admin

                      Not everyone apparently. From post 16 of this thread:

                      I was told about this at work this aft, so emailed Darren direct to ask him.

                      He replied that it was 'total rubbish' and that his lawyers were looking into it.
