Fraudster Matthew Quigley has continued his fraudulent approach to running Zenith Partners from Poland, seemingly exposing himself as a pathological liar…….with a glass eye.
The Fake Refunds
Matthew Quigley will claim to business that he will refund their administration fees if his financing deals doesn’t complete…. however this is false.
In the case of one business, Quigley produced a forged ‘bank statement’ showing he had refunded around £7,000 – but the business only received around £2,000. Where the remaining £5,000 ended up nobody knows.
In the case of another business, Matthew Quigley claimed to have sent payments to IBAN account details of just under £5,000, copying in solicitors McCarthy Denning and HCR Law in the process. Despite this, nearly a month later, no funds have been received….. So where is this money?
In other cases, numerous businesses are simply being ignored by Quigley after demanding their refunds for administration fees. He simply goes into hiding.
The Luxembourg Lie
The new lie from Quigley about his funding is that he has a fund in Luxembourg. Apparently this is “easier” then having a fund in Poland – despite there being no fund in Poland that exists.
In attempts to back this up, Matthew Quigley provides details of a company called Q Securities. However, Q Securities are not fund administrators, and the only documents he has provided have been a presentation by Q Securities of their services.
Despite there being no fund in Luxembourg – or even Poland for that matter – I have been contacted by a US company, who Quigley has offered to invest $2M in, supposedly via the Luxembourg ‘fund’.
Perhaps it’s time for Q Securities to release a statement on Zenith Partners and Matthew Quigley, explaining exactly what their relationship with him is?
The Unpaid Contractors
Matthew Quigley owes over $100,000 in unpaid wages to two individuals in the USA.
Seemingly these two individuals were tricked into undertaking work for Zenith Partners, scouting US businesses seeking investment from the non-existent ‘fund’ in Poland.
Two other individuals also contracted by Quigley in the UK are also owed money – in one case over £13,000.
Of course these 4 individuals are all said to be part of some conspiracy, and subject to legal action (see below).
The Cancer Lie
As an attempted excuse for not paying numerous businesses and contractors. Matthew Quigley has falsely claimed that he and his wife have had cancer.
This is a claim which is totally false.
The Fake Court Proceedings
Originally, Matthew Quigley had written to a number of people claiming to be taking two former employees to Court….. This turned out to be false after it turned out that Anthony Gold Solicitors told HCR Law to ‘do one’ after HCR made a series of false allegations…. Those purported claims were never followed up, and court proceedings have never been issued. HCR have now gazzumped Matthew Quigley and Zenith Partners as a client (see below).
Then Matthew Quigley attempted to get legal about this blog! Initially he wrote to myself and another individual, Person B, claiming:
We have today instructed solicitors and counsel to commence defamation proceedings against you personally and [Person B]…….They will also be applying to the court for an injunction……
You continue to copy in McCarthy Denning and HCR who are not acting for us in this matter, we have instructed third party solicitors to give clear delineation.
Our counsel will be in touch over the coming days.
Of course this is bollocks, but let’s find out why.
Firstly, this email was sent weeks ago, and nothing has been heard from anyone.
Secondly, there have been no proceedings issued, nor any injunction applied for…. This despite the fact it is usually customary to follow the Pre-Action Protocol under the Defamation act – which involves a letter of claim ahead of any Court action.
Thirdly, it was correct to copy (acting solicitors) McCarthy Denning and HCR into correspondence, especially where Michael Wistow of McCarthy Denning had claimed to be instructed in general litigation matters involving Zenith Partners. It was right to copy HCR in, as they were acting in the transaction.
Fourthly, Matthew Quigley’s email shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how the legal process works. “Counsel” as he puts it, are barristers. But he claims to have instructed solicitors. So why would barristers (instructed by solicitors) contact anyone directly? Likewise, if Quigley had found a Direct Access Barrister, remember Direct Access Barristers cannot ‘litigate’, on behalf of a client. At the very maximum all “counsel” would be able to do would be to exchange Skeleton Arguments…….but there actually has to be a court hearing for that…..which involves there being a Claim in the Court. There is not.
For all these reasons, it could not be clearer that Quigley’s claims are simply lies: there is no defamation claim; no solicitors have been instructed; there will be no injunction.
Despite all of these points – Matthew Quigley has claimed to various third parties that there is a “prosecution” for defamation happening…. Again another lie, Defamation proceedings (at least in UK law) are civil; prosecutions are criminal!
Dropped by Law Firm
A few weeks ago, Matthew Quigley was guzzumped by law firm HCR Law.
Seemingly, this happened after this blog’s expose of Quigley and expose of how HCR’s Dr Salandra failed to undertake basic client checks.
Conclusion
Since I exposed Matthew Quigley a few weeks ago, many third parties have come forward stating that they have been defrauded by him, and in some cases he owes them lots of money. The tally sits at around 105 companies, plus former employees, and a long list of solicitors.
Upon being exposed, Quigley has demonstrated that he is not only a fraudster – but a pathological liar. You cannot trust a word Matthew Quigley says. Steer well clear!
