Ian Adlington Newport Capital Ventures Ian Adlington - FRAUD - Ripped Off and then Treatened Los Angeles, California

I am also one of those that Ian Adlington has ripped off.  I had chosen to walk away and focus on building my business, which Ian ran into the ground by taking my moneyand constantly making promises of funding that he had no intention of ability to keep.  

I am only posting this now because I have been blamed by Ian Adlington for Ripoff Report postings from other victims and I am being threatened daily by texts and emails.  I am being threatened with legal action and I is also making veiled threats of violence against myself and my wife.  I can no longer stand by and keep silent as others are being ripped off by this scammer.

Heres my story:

After an introduction Keiretsu Forum who called him "the real deal" and a big fish", Applied Skin Technology (AST) paid Ian Adlington $25,000 to set up a UK company and bank account that would then be funded by an Qatari underwritten listing on the UK Plus Market.  Adlington represents himself as the fund manager for Qatar Investments in the US and UK.  After delaying for 6 months, Adlington came up with a new investment story, imminent funding by the Alpine Equity Fund. 

After another 6 months of stories, stalling and cancelled meetings, AST located contacted the actual Alpine Fund manager directly and learned that no such arrangement existed, Ian Adlington was not a representative of the Alpine Equity Fund, and they had no knowledge of AST or any other company about to be funded.  Ian still asserts that he is the sole fund manager and arbiter of disposition of resources for Alpine Equity Fund, a violation of Bahamian Securities law.

Everything I state is documented. 

Pretty simple story in essence.  The detailed version is filled with accomplices, lies, stalling and many calls from other victims.

Today I received a threat that he was coming after me step by step and that he was going to release damaging info about my products and my company.  Which means hes going to make up some lies to put me out of business.  But too late, his lying, fraud and stalling has already killed my business.

Heres the legal threatdown made by his UK attorney:

So bring it on Mr Fraud, prove I wrote it, prove your damages and show me how I can remove a blog I didnt post to begin with.  I dont know how you could ruin my life any more than you already have with your con.  But it really isnt about that.

Its about sending a message to the other victims to roll over and take it.

Yes, Ian this is "big boy's" (as you are so fond of calling me in your threatening texts) post.  I don't know about the others, but as long as you've been ripping off honest and trusting businessmen, I'm sure there will be many more.
