Guys. He's a pathalogical liar. He is playing you all again, and he will again and again because you are allowing it to happen. Give me 30 days ffs. He's giving you hope and buying time and maybe building a case for himself. You are letting helping him to get away with it. His parents money might even be his next betfair roll. Do him a favour - in prison, he won't be able to gamble. He's broke so many laws, criminal or civil. Allowing him to get off scot free will just enable him to carry on doing it over and over again.
Give him bank details at your peril, what will the courts think when that gem comes out? Someone post their bank details on here and I'll send them 100 Ugandan dollars. Honest.
Guys you've been scammed once, by someone you all trusted, some of you revered, you put him up on a pedestal and gave him your money. It seems to be conclusive that Neil always planned this as a scam. So from Day one he planned to rip you all off.
Why on earth, after everything you've read on here, would you believe one single word he is now PMing you. Why would he not post this message publicly? Why hasn't he given you more details on exactly who is bailing him out, and how - after all, is his family or extended family in a position to have this kind of cash lying about?
I'm not saying he is planning to empty your bank accounts, but he is definitely playing for time. If you want to believe him, then ask him for more info right now. Ask him where it's coming from, what his family have said, ask him why he didn't mention the IVA and ask him how does that IVA affect him repaying you lot. Ask him how he can explain the difference between what he posted he was doing to what he was actually doing, RE his trading? Ask him which organisations he has contacted for help with his problems, as he originally stated on here. Ask him about the flat, did he buy one, what happened to the Ltd Company set up at his old address? Fellas, there are so many questions you should be asking him - and some of these questions may start a process that can help you get your money back.
Personally I couldn't take it from his family myself. If you don't actually need the dough, why ruin someone else's life who now has to pay for Neil's crimes? If you do need the cash, then go to the police. If you go to the police and say you have been the victim of a fraud then at least you are getting your money back legally and without having to deal direct with Neil.
Please think about how much this man lied to you. Then think that if he has access to repay you all, wouldn't you be better off doing it legally rather than trusting the word of a man who is at best is a compulsive gamble, and at worst, a sociopath who will go on to do this again and again.
