If you are one of the many UK investors who invested in the Flip Flop Forex investment fund, you may be wondering what has happened to John Wheatland and, more importantly, what has happened to your money. Unfortunately, it’s not good news. Contact with John Wheatland ceased at the end of July 2019 and the only correspondence since then has been an email from his brother, Adam Wheatland, sent to the majority of investors between 4th and 10th August 2019 to inform them that John Wheatland had lost all of the money entrusted to him. The value of the Fund prior to John Wheatland’s disappearance was $4 Million AUD and deposits into the fund exceeded £1 Million AUD.

Investigations are underway by the Queensland Police Service Financial and Cyber Crime Group, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). If you would like to find out more, please visit john-wheatland-flip-flop-forex-investment-fund.com

    As soon as you see the words "Forex" and "Investment" in the same sentence you pretty much know it's doomed.
