Yes they are nonsense and purported loans but still best to err on the side of caution until this is finally put to bed.

Edit: I’ve just come back from holiday, and reviewed my position on this. A little light on the situation is a good thing.

And I agree with Eek as well since it was me who alerted Dan to the rising stench of zombie loans.Originally posted by eek View Post
I would be forwarding that on to Dan to confirm if that is actually the case.
To me it feels a bit strange because if what Dan is saying is correct Elysium could have shut this down years ago"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Cough - although I've mainly been speaking to him about more recent ones schemes but getting victims of them to come forward has been virtually impossible.Originally posted by cojak View Post

I can add - confidentiality guaranteed. Your info and discussion with Dan will go no further than him."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

So Elysium have lost one of their cash-cows now and are starting to panic.Originally posted by looperevil View PostSo what's happened is, Elysium have seen the email that was posted on here by Dan Neidle. And they have contacted him.
I know for sure they are actively monitoring this forum. Their last email has really annoyed me.
Not said this before but one of the options they have put forward to continue this work is settling! They have put that as an option and want everyone to pay £2800 to settle!
i do hope that Dan mentions the other firms who have profiteered from the schemesmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Elysium really made a meal of their group strategy in order to maximise profits. Telling people they may have to testify, even getting people who would sign up with them to contemplate settling. I have the correspondence they sent out. Makes me sick.Originally posted by eek View Post

Elysium Law came recommended to us by Andy Wood of Etc Tax during the Felicitas debacle. Etc Tax actually did a decent job responding to Felicitas's demands, all pro bono. But they mentioned that they are essentially an accountancy and tax firm, and even though Andy is a tax barrister, he isn't currently practicing so he would have to pass further action over to a law firm, and he mentioned Richard Gray and Elysium Law. That is the backstory of how Elysium Law came onto the scene. Based on our interaction with Etc Tax, I still think Andy Wood was a genuine guy though, but as usual keep your guard up when dealing with these companies. You don't want to end up being kicked further when you are already down.Last edited by Superfly; 25 May 2026, 16:44.Comment
