Syco collectibles update ( Letter from CEO)

[AJON]

Let me tell you about a fraud that nearly happened.

When Darren was still with One2one he asked me to sculpt a Sonic the Hedgehog for the launch of a new game, i caved it but before i could take it to mould all the fraud came to light and he ran to China. When we inquired about the license of the Sonic Piece, this was also found to be fraudulent so if he had stayed for longer, that could have been another piece people would have bought which wasn’t licensed!

The Credit card story........

Darren was visiting China to set up production but there was only enough money at the time to pay for expenses so Alan Green, out of the goodness of his heart gave him his personal credit card, just in case of an emergency so Darren was safe. Darren arrived home after a few weeks and several days later he gave the card back to Alan. A couple of weeks went by and Alan received the credit card statement, on it was a purchase of over £400 (about $600) on a hand bag from Harrods, Darren was called and totally denied he had used it so the police was called, in the mean time i called Darren and said ‘’if you did it, come clean and we can move on, but if you lie now then all our trust in you is gone’’ (or words to that effect) but he stood firm and gave me his word it wasn’t him. Later that day Alan was called to the police station to take a look at some video evidence taken at the time of the purchase of the Hand Bag.............................there was Darren with a woman making the payment and the security outside had filmed him getting into his Smart car with Darren’s registration. With no where left to go he confessed, he’d arrived home and wanted some female attention and paid some escort for her time with the purchase of the bag, at this time i wanted him out. I made it clear to Alan and to Darren that i wanted him gone, but Alan refused and said we should give him another chance......and look how Darren repaid Alan kindness!

This Darren character is some piece of work.

I probably shouldn't laugh, considering the people he has hurt. I just don't know how else to comprehend his stupidity and selfishness. I mean, the only thing the guy seems to learn is new cons.... nothing else.

A few weeks after all his activity had come to light i was summond up to London to make a statement, after over an hour of talking to the two police women, they both looked at each other and one said, ''are you thinking what i'm thinking'' ''why'' said the other ''exactly'', there was no financial gain, in fact there was no gain at all only the destruction of what could have been a good buisiness, we had two genuine licenses so why make up two fake ones and why make copies of the genuine licenses but with fake names (which is also illegal)?

I think he has a form of fraud turrets

Exactly! I can't understand it. Why go out of your way to burn bridges and ruin a good thing for no reason? That's what's killing me.

I knew if we waited long enough we'd get to the Hookers

The thing I find most baffling about all of this . . . who pays for hookers with a credit card

When it comes to 'entertaining' the ladies, CASH IS KING

Man the plot thickens even more!

now that would killer!. i doubt they will want to show their face there now. ill be surprised if they show up at all. specially Darren. but if they do and it can be confirmed they will be there. what would be great is if everyone who knows about all this and are against what they have done. maybe everyone could all meet up as a group (more like mob) and go pay their booth a visit and start asking questions.. and instead of torches and pitch forks everyone could be holding picket signs and video cameras. and then post it to YouTube for all to see. .. now that would be poetic justice at its finest.
that would be another Nail in the coffin. or one more shovel full of dirt to fill grave.
