The case in brief

Visible before detection

Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

Land Registry would show no interest for the investors in the three buildings.

Can mislead when: Pledges made off the registries stay invisible, and vague invoice descriptions are hard to match.

Connected companies owned by the founder held the properties.

Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.

Companies House would show overdue accounts and a liquidation filing.

Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
