Interesting, factual report, gives me some data to follow up with.

I read Mr. Spina’s response where he refers to the DMH&Co “Ripoff Report” headlines, but I think I did something he didn’t, I read it thoroughly. It turns out that the initial headline report is merely a complaint by a disgruntled individual who it turns out had the facts incorrect in his complaint, which was easy to fact check. I could not find any evidence of a dissolved or bankrupt company, which is funny given it’s still doing business and the target of Mr. Spina’s wrath. I would urge anyone who tries to cite to this article to actually read it and all the responses, and see that Mr. Harrison did not enter into a final contract, but instead during the due diligence phase decided against finalizing the deal due to counter-party issues. Mr. Harrison does like to think large, and speculated out loud of a possible buy in of the more profitable aspects of the deal, but when his company pulled its financial muscle and left without signing any contract, that’s business. He clearly (with proof) issued a letter of withdrawal of a proposed agreement after due diligence. He can’t control someone else’s fraudulent conduct in backdating an alleged sale (as evidenced by an indelible, non-disputable date stamp post letter of withdrawal) or putting his name on anything.

(From the RipoffReport link, http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/daniel-mark-harrison-co/internet/daniel-mark-harrison-co-dmh-company-dissolved-requesting-upfront-payment-from-buyers-1308200:)

“By way of background: in 2015, DMH&CO announced it was thinking of purchasing ALD, but on April 1, 2015 a formal decline to purchase letter (attached) was sent from the company’s CEO to the owner of the shares of ALD George Leong. Absolute Living Developments is a now defunct developer that was responsible for developing Olicana House as well as Summerberry, Print House, Empress Mill and various other North of England properties.

“The day following Mr. Harrison’s letter of resignation and refusal to purchase the shares of ALD, the shareholder of ALD altered the annual filing to reflect that he had sold the shares to Mr. Harrison and backdated the filing to Feb 1 (however the Companies House electronic filing system clearly reveals that the entry was made on April 6, 2016). This is believed to have been done in order to avoid a winding-up petiition that the owner was aware was coming later that month.

“There was never an agreement to purchase ALD and there is no sales and purchase contract or written agreement in place between Mr. Leong and Mr. Harrison to sell or purchase the shares. Mr. Harrison has informed the relevant authorities in the UK who have agreed to amend the filings to reflect that Mr. Leong is the owner of the shares of ALD. Mr. Harrison and DMH&CO have no connection with ALD therefore. Please see the attached letter which was sent time-stamped and date-stamped by e-mail and sent via FedEX to Companies House and is thus post-stamped as evidence of its priority over the filing at Companies House.”

What is so hard about reading this stuff and knowing fact from fiction?
