My son also put 31,000 into this company 7 years ago but it was then called Martin&clews. He has lost everything, but they can't be touched as its outside British waters. Mike CLews was living in Spain. See the article in the Spanish expats newspaper Grapevine Press of 5 or 6 years ago. Mike Martin was hounded out of Spain and went to France. My son went through agents Mattioli Woods in Leicester. This con artist has conned people out of hundreds of thousands of pounds. The law should be changed so they can all be locked up as the thieves they are. Mattioli Woods say "they are monitoring" the situation !!. Meanwhile no one is interested in stopping this fraud last heard of in Kent.

As I have put in another reply my son was advised to put his pension of 25,000 in Stadia about 9 years ago but he was paid out after 3 years. 6 months later he was told they had gone bust and advised to put his money in Martin&Clews by the same agents so he did . He put his Second pension worth 31,000 in and they stole the lot. I contacted Action fraud and FSA but no result when they discovered it was outside British waters

Just read through this thread for the first time. It is a fascinating and depressing story, which makes me thankful I'm not one of the poor people who were scammed into "investing".

You repeated versions of your post 3 times but I am still unsure exactly what happened. You say:

If Mattioli Woods advised your son to invest with them then you might have a case against them for selling an unsuitably high risk investment, unless that is what he requested. They are FCA registered so you have more chance taking that route than any of the others involved.

Well I can you after a lot Of investigation and a civil court case the liquid assets of Los Pandos/ Martin and Clews are 10k euros and two cars one of which is owned by the bank. Eduardo lives in a very nice villa that I have the address for and his children are in a private school that I also have the address for. You can’t touch him. Every thing is in his wife name. Los Pandos is mortgaged to a company in Maidstone Kent for 800k euros. They won’t disclose any details. Your money is gone

Do you think he will spill them faster if you post every half hour asking him to do so?

The money is almost certainly gone regardless of what Alex Hales says, whoever he is.
