Man defrauded Find Madeleine Fund of £100,000 - Two whistleblowers have sworn affifdavits confirming the fraud (Sun, 26 Oct 2015)

This looks like Kevin Halligen.
In which case these 'whistleblowers' have been lying low for 7 years!
What is new, however, is that the fraudster is alleged to have deliberately engaged in false accounting and forgery of hostel and travel receipts.
Whoever did this should be prosecuted.
I am not clear as to why the whistleblowers decided to hand their affidavits to Kate and Gerry, instead of to the police.
Once again, this raises issues as to the responsibility of the McCanns, the McCann Team and indeed all the Directors of the Find Madeleine Fund, who employed this man, for appointing him in the first place.
Given that the amount he defrauded came from pensioners who donated their weekly pensions amd children who donated their weekly pocket money, this is very serious. The Directors of the Find Madeleine Fund in fact face being disqualified from being Directors, as it looks like they cannot be trusted to run a company using due care and diligence. An investigation by Companies House is possible.
Perhaps our resident accountant, Enid O'Dowd, will be along to help and advise us?

THE fund to find Madeleine McCann was ripped off by up to £100,000, whistleblowers claim.
Documents alleging the huge fraud have been handed to her parents Kate and Gerry.
It is claimed a person connected to the hunt for the three-year-old used public donations to fund his own lifestyle. He is said to have duped the McCanns into thinking the cash was spent looking for their daughter.
Two whistleblowers named the man in sworn affidavits which The Sun passed to the couple.
They allege false accounting and forgery of travel and hotel receipts.
One said: “What made the fraud so disgusting was money came from people who shed tears over her disappearance and wanted to do their little bit.”
The Fund was launched in May 2007 when Madeleine disappeared from the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz.
It has raised more than £2million. Backers include JK Rowling and David Beckham.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Kate or Gerry who thanked The Sun for the evidence.
Last night the McCanns’ spokesman said: “Madeleine’s Fund takes extremely seriously any suggestion monies intended for the search have been obtained fraudulently.
“Kate, Gerry and the other directors of Madeleine’s Fund will co-operate fully with authorities to ensure these claims are fully investigated.
This looks like Kevin Halligen.

Dr Martin Roberts: "The evidence is that these are the pjyamas Madeleine wore on holiday in Praia da Luz. They were photographed and the photo handed to a press agency, who released it on 8 May, as the search for Madeleine continued. The McCanns held up these same pyjamas at two press conferences on 5 & 7June 2007. How could Madeleine have been abducted?"
Amelie McCann (aged 2): "Maddie's jammies!".

Where on earth were the auditors? Why wasn't this addressed earlier?
The directors didn't miss £100k?
Why was it felt necessary to put in that bit about no wrong doing by Kate and Gerry?

Hmmm where have the Sun been the last number of years? This is not news. Kevin Halligan's 'fraud' from the fund was reported years ago but the McCann's chose to remain silent about it. More smoke and mirrors. Something's in the wind......

Perhaps this is the door being publicly opened for Scotland Yard to investigate the fraud and have access to the Fund accounts?

Looks as if 'the fund' is under scrutiny,
first CM reporting the parents moving money in
and out of 'the fund', now this.

Or more likely a reason the mccann's can give to the media for their fund being investigated by the fraud squad. Distinct whiff about it. Why would whistleblowers go to the Sun and not the police and why would the Sun take it to the McCann's and not the police?

But surely it would have been scrutinised at the outset of this investigation.
Has it taken Grange 4 years and £12,000,000 to work this out.

The 'distressed, distraught, depressed' parents, who were 'glad', oddly, the investigation, into their 'missing' daughter, Madeleine, was 'closed' and 'it didn't matter' to them, if the investigation 'was EVER re-opened' happily pose in Amsterdam, before 'imploring' OAP's, handicapped kiddies and schoolchildren, to 'donate' to their privately registered ltd company, Madeleines' Fund, LNSU..

Whistleblowes (in plural)
More than one person knew the McCanns were defrauded, how?
And both coincidentally chose to approach Sun with the story ?
Affidavit handed to the McCanns but "there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Kate or Gerry who thanked The Sun for the evidence". Something does not add up.
Surely the accountant or auditor would have noticed if claims were put in by "defrauder" and no work reports were submitted to substantiate claims. Besides these claims would need to be vetted, approved and cheque signed by two BOD signatories at least before the paying out.
Is it possible for one man to fool the Mcs and Board of Directors with bogus travel claims without having to produce reports or evidence to substantiate his work progress and/or result of his search?
Don't tell me the Mcs, Board of Directors, accountant and auditor all of them are bunch of idiots easily conned into paying out / approving / auditing large sum of money to contracted PIs without asking questions?
Wasn't it reported KH was paid a few hundred thousands pound for his work, so where does this £100K nonsense come from?
Something is off with this story.
If Fund is under scrutiny why did The Sun rattle the snake in the grass?

There seems to have been so much deception in this case and so much effort at concealing events that one wonders just where all this will go.

'Convicted' British RIOT 'hero', to D Cameron and E Miliband, convicted for 'accounting fraud', 'forgery', 'conspiracy to rob', 'possession of class B drug', 'GBH/ABH'.
There's no 'truth', whatsoever, that the McS 'asked' him to become a PI on their missing child 'case'!

He's never talked about the Mcs case, nor have the McCanns reported him for fraud to the Police.
If he had defrauded the Fund, surely it is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to report him to the Police. Failing to do so is negligence and dereliction of duty.

'cross 'meanings''
TJ has 'nothing' to do with McS! (afaik!)
I was just 'illustrating' about 'liars'!

"Once you have started with one lie you have to make up 1,000 lies to cover that one."
eg., JC. 'Kate told me the shutter WAS 'smashed'
A 'blatant' LIE, TOLD to JC, FIVE HOURS 'after' the 'event'.

I don't buy it (certainly not the Sun), another regurgitation of the past for some inexplicable reason. Correct me if I'm wrong but when an affidavit is prepared and duly signed, is it not then held in the custody of the legal profession? Is it normal practice for a sworn affidavit to be handed over to the 'whistleblower' (in this case) to use as he/she pleases?
Why do the McCanns always talk in round figures? If these whistleblowers have detailed information of a suspected fraud why are they talking £100,000 exact and why aren't they handing the information to the police? Always seems to be £l00,000 or £500.000 or £1,000,000. Excellent stuff here from the past on the subject of Mr Halligan which ties in nicely with this latest media report..

Anyone with the time and/or inclination follow this trail..
Murdoch - The Sun - reporter Gary O'Shea - Hackgate - Leveson inquiry - murder of Joanne Yeates in 2010 - press handling of murder trial - Christopher Jefferies wrongly arrested for suspicion of murder - Jefferies legal action against newspapers including The Sun seeking damages for libel - Jeffries represented by Louis Charalambous of the law firm Simons Muirhead and Burton, who in 2008 had successfully acted for Robert Murat after he became a suspect during the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Could be something could be nothing, as they say all roads lead to Rome - or in this case Ireland and/or Scotland.

You could have a point there - and a very good one if I might say! Donations must be very thin on the ground lately. Who knows, Katie might be penning a follow up to 'madeleine', a coffee table conversation piece nicely gift wrapped in pretty green and yellow ribbon just in time for Xmas.jeanmonroe wrote:Coming up to Christmas!

sworn affidavit

http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-a-sworn-affidavit.htm
Why would this sworn affidavit have been passed to The Sun who then passed a copy to Mr. & Mrs?
Would two whistleblowers be entitled to pass a copy of a sworn affidavit to a newspaper and would the newspaper then be allowed to pass a copy to them?
Doesn't sound right to me but summat could definitely be up IMHO.

Quandaries! Dilemmas!
WHICH Madeleine 'fund' to 'donate' to!
Does one 'donate' to the 'original' PRIVATELY registered Plc, Madeleine's 'search' Fund, LNSU or, OR, the 'new' PRIVATE Madeleine 'Special' 'search' Fund, which has been set up, recently, by G&K McCann, which is being 'funded' by using 'donations' TRANSFERRED FROM the original PRIVATELY registered Plc, Madeleine's 'search' Fund, LNSU.
Hmmm.

A 'judge'? A 'lawyer' The 'police'?
If it were the 'police' HOW did the Scum 'get hold of' those SWORN affidavits' to be able to 'pass' them to the McCann couple?

But the Channel 5 documentary The McCanns & The Conman covered the Halligan story. So I don't get it.

In the absence of a scintilla of 'evidence' of an 'abduction', by anyone, and only, ONLY. their 'say so', it is their 'lies' that are their Achilles 'heel', imo.
Al Capone was behind the St Valentine's Day Massacre but they put him away for tax fraud not murder.

This looks like Kevin Halligen.
In which case these 'whistleblowers' have been lying low for 7 years!
What is new, however, is that the fraudster is alleged to have deliberately engaged in false accounting and forgery of hostel and travel receipts.
Whoever did this should be prosecuted.
I am not clear as to why the whistleblowers decided to hand their affidavits to Kate and Gerry, instead of to the police.
Once again, this raises issues as to the responsibility of the McCanns, the McCann Team and indeed all the Directors of the Find Madeleine Fund, who employed this man, for appointing him in the first place.
Given that the amount he defrauded came from pensioners who donated their weekly pensions amd children who donated their weekly pocket money, this is very serious. The Directors of the Find Madeleine Fund in fact face being disqualified from being Directors, as it looks like they cannot be trusted to run a company using due care and diligence. An investigation by Companies House is possible.
Perhaps our resident accountant, Enid O'Dowd, will be along to help and advise us?
It's not about Richard Halligen, it's about Método 3, imo. And if I'm correct about the M3 guess, the McCanns or the "Trust" directors already knew this at least as early as in Jan. 2014. And did nothing about it.
edited to add: The Sun article distorts the story (what a surprise eh?). The story goes: Two men, detectives formerly belonging to a detective agency hired by the Fund/Trust via BK on October 2007 (alleged in book), wrote a book that was published in 2014. That book was banned later that same year from a country's market by an injunction of the director of a now extinct detective agency, on the grounds of "breaching the confidentiality of the information" those detectives had gathered whilst working for that agency. That book is apparently back on the market. In the book there is a chapter regarding the investigation that detective agency did on Madeleine McCann disappearance. In that chapter (chapter 13, page 174) it is alleged the detective agency committed a fraud against the fund. The detectives, and book authors contacted BK and the "Trust" directors regarding the fraud, in early 2014. To much surprise of the detectives and book authors the "Trust" directors held a conference and decided to not take action, alleging they would "not meet" or "discuss" the investigations of any private investigation "whilst the MET continues their investigation".
If this is not the story the Sun is alleging to, sorry in advance.

We know the McCanns don't do anything without reason. There must be a BIG reason to why they came off Twitter (okay so it was 'find Madeleine' but we know who was behind it).melisande wrote:Totally agree. Sounds like pre-empting imoparapono wrote:Looks as if 'the fund' is under scrutiny,

and out of 'the fund', now this.
I agree with both of you. Something will no doubt be coming out about the fund money and the McCanns want us to think it's concerning Kevin Halligen and not their own handling of the fund money.
I know it's not the general thought here but I think SY are bang on the money, so to speak.

So man collect money for what he thinks is a charity 'fund', man finds out the money is going to a business pretending to be a charity and decides to keep the money himself!
What is the charge, not passing on donations to a private limited company?! LOL!
