John Davies, AKA John Bernard, AKA John Cavendish is back in the news through Krebs On Security. This post reminds us of the three part series which we covered back on podcasts 10, 12 and 14 of the Security Box. Now, in news notes of the upcoming podcast 43, we’re going to have to bring him up again although it’ll definitely be news notes related as the podcast is booked.
John still finds marks for his continuing due dilligance fees with no promises of delivering the promised money for companies to do the projects they say they need the money for.
The article in part talks about the source that came to Brian with all of the latest.
“I just sat in on a call and John’s voice is unmistakable,” said the broker, who asked to remain anonymous. “He stumbled on the beginning of the call trying to remember which last name he was supposed to use. Immediately they go back to the standard script about the types of deals they are looking for. They want to be minority investors in private transactions and they are industry agnostic. Their deal sizes are investments in the $5-20 million range, they prefer to not use big 4 firms for due diligence, and they have some smaller firms they use which are better suited for smaller investment deals.”
The article continues:
The source forwarded me some correspondence from Hempton Business Management, and I noticed it was sent from a Mariya Kulykova. This is interesting because Mr. Bernard’s personal assistant in Ukraine was a Mariya Kulikova (Ms. Kulikova deleted Bernard’s former companies from her LinkedIn profile shortly after last year’s series).
The company’s website says Hempton has been around since 2017, but the domain name was only registered in late November 2020. There is no information about who runs or owns the company on its site.
He elluded authorities numerous times and he knows what he’s doing.
The article talks about Hempton , what a shelf company is, and more.
Investment Scammer John Davies Reinvents Himself? is the article, make sure you do your due dilligance.
