    You can have the satisfaction of knowing that they'll come here eventually crying like little girls because the big, nasty HMRC wants to make them bankrupt and will someone please help them out of this hole (for free obv, because they're still thick and greedy, just potentially much, much poorer).

    Appears to be part of Onyx Management Ltd, who specialise in yacht management, aircraft management and payroll services. Which seems like a natural fit. The company operates out of the IoM. Their parent company appears to be Onyx Worldwide who are based in Switzerland.

    Registered owner of the website is one Wilhelm Meir who also appears to be linked to Recruitment Solutions Ltd (rsl.org.im) and has had a few reviews in the press last year.

    Recruitment Solutions gets tax break for bosses but not workers - Investigations

    Not much to be found online about him in the usual places, but LinkedIn profiles exist for him under both UK and Portugal. Prior to 2009 he appears to have been a part qualified ACCA.

    They stopped paying her because she kept taking the cash in depreciating foreign currency loans.

    Jesus!

    This is why we need to keep highlighting these schemes.

    1)that the scheme was not risk free,
    2)is a fully valid scheme where what is paid in doesn't correspond with the amount paid out

    and that I have the cash available to cover the inevitable eventual rogering from HMRC.

    All income is converted into a Director's loan to an offshore account. You provide nil returns to the VAT man and keep your bags packed and your passport in your jacket pocket.
