Churchills and Goldthorpe Property Fraud

Churchills, a Karl Goldthorpe run company filed for liquidation last year. Many investors lost money in what has been described by a top city solicitor as "an obvious large scale fraud". This blog is designed to inform other victims and interested parties in the sorry history of this affair. We would also like fellow victims to post their own story, as a comment, so that there is a single site with the whole story presented.

Full Scale of the Fraud

We have recently discovered the full extent of the Churchill fraud.  Here are the numbers:
  • Churchill Beach (Tahkuranna): 168 plots/properties - all sold
  • Churchill Village: 20 properties - all sold
  • Parnu River: 80 properties - all sold
  • Audru Golf Resort - about 30 units.  If anyone knows the exact size of this development can they let us know
  • Cape Verde: about 40 properties sold
  • Goa: 40 - 50 deposits taken and not passed on
This gives a total of about 380 victims, and we estimate the total loss to be at least £4M.  So there are about 240 people who may not know that they have lost their investment.

    Hello
    Churchill Beach (Tahkuranna): 168 plots/properties - all sold

    I have to tell you that this only legaly has 50 plots for 50 houses. So it must be fraud. Also let me tell you Lee Williams is the one who is 100% behind all this.

      Don't forget where he lives part time at Brighton Marina on the Aussie Diver, a squalid damp boat. Then of course he scuttles off to his job at Open House, Three Bridges nr Crawley. Total nebbish. Detritus.

    Look at page 3 Isle of Wight County Press 24th July 2009.
    Also Katherine D'Costa's house is for sale ( at £200k less than it was bought for ). Why? Where is the money going? Who's is the money any way ?

    Priory School building on IW is also now up for sale at a loss (owned by EJ Developments), will this money be used to reimburse or to start building?

    I drove past Kite Crest last week, the house owned by Goldthorpes parents and frequented regularly by their fraudster offspring. It's empty, even the curtains gone. Looks like the Goldthorpes are clearing out and, my guess, moving abroad.

    Also, does anyone know the whereabouts of Gary Smith?

    Just saw this, i handed over £ 7500 hard earned pounds to a Chris Tonkinson, ironically he has just appeared on my friendship suggestions on facebook, with his cheesey smile cuddling his presumably teenage daughters in Haywood Heath, my family could really have done with a return on that money or just some of it back would have been handy
