Guess who's at it again!

After his disastrous attempt at running for government in the area, Jon has decided to go back to the tactics he's good at.

New front company was formed 2 years ago and now has its office at 25 Bannatyne Street. Just across the road from the company Jon gutted for every government Grant and used for as many Scams he could.

But you won't see this name on the front... oh no. he's back to his old tricks presenting himself as a "lawyer", using a similar name as a reputable solicitor no less.

A nice big sign says NR Legal (Scotland), where you can bring your dear loved ones' estate when they are gone. Jon will make sure that its looked after, once he's skimmed a bit off the top that is.

Also, don't mind that this "perfectly legitimate" probate service shares a building with a GOLD MERCHANT! You're passed-on loved ones jewelry is perfectly safe.

It's a shame that he's lumped a couple of lackeys in on the scheme, though one seems to have cut and ran when he got the chance.

On September the 3rd 2019, John Scott posted that, he along with Catherine Ann Henderson, Would be "winding up" the Checkmates Community Hub CiC.

Shortly after he deleted all social media accounts related to the company. But the filing of companies' houses tells an entirely different story.

In the first of the company account filings, signed by John Scott. There is no sign of this supposed debt! the supposed "£48,000" to the landlord is instead £6,800, The Business rates are not "£34,000" but £12,884. A completely different picture from what he painted.

He also has shown no evidence that Knightly Gaming owes £12,480.

Then there's this Ashley Gray? who is this person? why was she around for less than a year? Is this a case of identity theft to take out covid loans?

We notice as well that he changed the name to voluntary associates CiC, but there's also Voluntary Associates Ltd which was added to the board. guess who is the sole controller of that company! We are shocked to find that it is non-other the John Scott!

Then he files the 2020 accounts and surprise! The rent arrears have gone up further! and the Knightly Gaming debt seems to have been forgotten! Though saying that maybe he should hire a chartered accountant, these numbers still don't add up right. Does he know what a balance sheet actually is? It's a serious offense to file false books.

Then he changed the company's address to his house, don't want any incriminating documents accidentally get in the hands of people he's "subletting" to, but john.... didn't you say the company couldn't do that?

Now he's added Ross Mcmillian to the "board", wonder if he knows about that and the implications if the company can be shown to be trading insolvent!

And suddenly, in the latest set of accounts, not only has he added the Knightly Gaming debt again and lumped Brett Knight to it, he's ADDED to it. Plus he also has Leah knight down as owing £36,800!!

Surely a lawyer should know how dangerous that is, cause if he's relying on that to keep the company's books balanced. he needs to be able to defend that claim in court or the company IS INSOLVENT in which case all directors can be facing criminal charges.

Maybe Ruth Johnston a.k.a Ruth Kane could give us a reference on how good of a "Lawyer" John Scott is and how well he can defend his clients.....

Jon the Con at it AGAIN !!

What happens if a company is insolvent?

Insolvent liquidation means that a company is closing because it cannot pay its bills
as they fall due (cash flow insolvency), or the value of business assets is less than
its liabilities (balance sheet insolvency)

This is when wrongful trading is discovered and it is apparent
that the director of the company was acutely aware that the company was going to
become insolvent, and yet continued to operate.

So his plan is to falsify statements to companies house, and enter a totally fictitious, never mentioned before
amount of money owed £36,000 by Leah
