    I used to offer such a scheme but the bureaucrats withdrew the firearms licences.

Meanwhile, as an individual you receive six weekly loans in a fast depreciating foreign currency via a Trust in a third jurisdiction, that is then written off by that trust for tax puropses.

          wasn't he a famous Italian philosopher? Senor Ponzi?

          I think his seminal precept, 'I get out what you put in' was a hint of genius.

            I resent that slur on the industry.

                  Plan B

                  I am sole shareholder of MyCo
                  MyCo has contract to supply Oude Joris Holdings
                  Oude Joris Holdings has contract to supply
                  ShellCo (registered in England)
                  ShellCo invoices ClientCo for £10,000 + £VAT.
                  Oude Joris Holdings invoices ClientCo for £12,000
                  Oude Joris Holdings lends funds to Oude Joris Benefit Trust
                  Oude Joris Benefit Trust lends me £12,000 in a fast depreciating foreign currency loan and then writes it off.
                  MyCo invoices Oude Joris Holdings for £10,000.
                  Oude Joris Holdings fails to pay.
                  MyCo claims £9,000 from its export credit insurer, distributed as dividends following CT.
                  ShellCo goes under when VAT man comes knocking.


                  Monthly return on £10,000 contract value = approx. £18,000.

                    Ask them where the other 30% goes.
