Companies House flaw exposed five million directors and enabled company hijacking

A major vulnerability in the Companies House website gave unauthorised access to the private dashboard of any of the five million registered companies for five months. It exposed directors’ home addresses and email addresses, and enabled attackers to change company and director details – and even file accounts. This article sets out what we know, […]

MP Estate Planning: the unregulated firm selling defective trusts to the elderly

MP Estate Planning is an unregulated advisory firm using an extensive social media campaign to sell expensive “asset protection trusts” to elderly homeowners, often of relatively modest means.

THE HON. MRS JUSTICE COLLINS RICE DBE CB
Approved Judgment

Kamal v Tax Policy Associates

31. In the circumstances, the pleading that it was ‘false and misleading’ to suggest that a
judicial finding of breach of duty had been made against him is incapable of forming a

An unbelievable claim, and all the tax advisers I […]

The bizarre UK group selling US tax fraud to hundreds of Britons – and prosecuting its critics

Simon Goldberg and his UK-based organisation, Empower the People, are running an elaborate scheme to defraud the US Government. The group files fake US tax returns to trick the IRS into refunding their members’ everyday UK consumer spending – a practice the US tax authorities have repeatedly warned is fraudulent. When YouTuber Salim Fadhley publicised […]

Finance Monthly fake interview

Feb 20, 2026 Analysis

Finance Monthly fabricated an interview with me

Earlier this week, Finance Monthly published an article presented as an interview with me. No such interview took place. I was not contacted. I did not answer questions. The claim that Finance Monthly “spoke with” me is false. The piece reads like generic AI/large-language-model output: heavy use of em dashes, and lots of vague grand-sounding […]
