    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Problem GreyMountain Management's Nest of Binary Scam Brokers

I am having an issue with a company
Hi, I'm a former disgruntled high level employee of Greymountain Management. I was the CTO, responsible for creating and maintaining their payment software and IT architecture. I was David Cartu's right hand man in this (something I am deeply ashamed about).

I was given generous severance package when I left (€30K - over 4 traunches), and was due to get paid another ~€10K off them over the next two months.

Just got a phone call off them yesterday telling me that they are in liquidation and that I would not receive payment for the moment.

This has hurt me financially. So seeing that David Cartu hurt me, its payback time. An eye for an eye.

I'm seriously pissed off here, so ask me anything about GMM and I'll be only too happy to spill the beans.

I'm sorry for taking a part in you all losing your money, I smelled a rat as soon as I walked in the door on the first day and it took me a few weeks to figure out what was going on. Eventually I got greedy and decided to stay because I was getting huge bonuses and gifts, trips to Israel, Disneyland etc. Was on €100K salary.

David Cartu is the most narcissistic megalomaniac I have ever met in my whole life. Cheated, swindled and conned his way to the top. He shits in a bag too.

Dear Simon

I, too, want to get back on them. There’s even been a death in my family and I not only want my investment and profits back but compensation for all the hell we’ve been through!

Can you help provide me with documentary evidence that Tropical Trade which scammed me, is an arm of Grey Mountain Management, please? They gave me less than a week to prove this (by Monday, 10 Dec).

The liquidator claims GMM is a payment processing company and I am not their creditor. Meanwhile, Tropical Trade has gone missing on the web.

I am deeper in debt because of this fraud. I invested borrowed money to help raise money to clear costly medical bills.

Is there a way I can contact you?

Ruth

did you also receive the mail from the liquidators? I also got till the 10 of Dec. What are you going to do about the part of the form asking for a proxy or appearance at the gathering?

I asked them to let me Skype cos I cannot fly all the way. They agreed. But I don’t know what else to do. Any advice please? U can email me in private. ruthmkumar@gmail.com
 
The EU lawmakers in Brussels doesn't help victims one bit, nor do any of the laws on the books in any country. I have no idea where the IOSCO information went and to whom specifically. Part of the EU in Brussels... To give victims a WEEK to get ANY information to the liquidators is ridiculous, period, in any world!!

Thanks.
I managed to get the help of the best Jewish lawyer, ever. I’ll take it from there.
 
Better have them represent you and handle the case as Skype mtg, etc…..

very simple….all EU (including pass ported) authorized PSP show up on the Register, no exemption’s for Irish Fraudsters

If they want to settle amicably, it’ll save them...especially David Cartu (who is oblivious to the storm looming) a lot of heartache...subpoenas of records (not just what they think they’ve destroyed but beyond their reach), Interpol, Irish media waiting in the wings...

The Arsenal is ready, thanks to my Jewish Advocate! The liquidator’s meeting is a mere formality to give them one chance...

So glad for this turn around of events!
 
Yes, David Van Dessel from Deloitte Dublin has been officially appointed as liquidator. They will now be investigating the reasons why the company went into insolvency and who knows where it will go from there. https://www2.deloitte.com/ie/en/profiles/david-van-dessel-restructuring-services.html

Yes, the first meeting with creditors and GMM was yesterday. It went exactly as my Jewish lawyer predicted!

My awesome Jewish lawyer is so sharp and insightful with out-of-this-world ideas (in addition to the legal route, of course!).i was so desperate initially but ten he came along...truly God-sent!!

So, I’ve gotten in touch with the Irish media as well. They’re keen to run my story (plus two other friends’ stories).

I kinda feel truly sorry for David Cartu... honestly...firstly, to stoop so low to do this sort of thing and hurt so many people, he must have been really “lost”; (makes me wonder what kind of childhood he must have had and what his own wounds are that made him turn out like that).

Next, what’s coming for him now is going to be terribly devastating...imagine being infamous in Israel, Ireland, Canada and USA, thanks to Interpol, subpoenas and the Irish media (& thereafter, other countries’ media)! He may have covered his tracks (or so he thinks) but the infamy will stick to him like skunk odour and wreck his life.

We may have lost money (which can be recovered) but David Cartu’s gonna lose peace forever! I certainly wouldn’t want to be in his shoes!! Hence my sympathy for him.

Frankly, if I had my own money to pay off the debts I incurred by this scam (which started off so I can pay off debts from medical bills), I’d walk away...yes, we’ve been so deeply pained by the scam but hurting/destroying another “lost” human being is actually even more painful for my conscience.
 
Ruth, You are spot on. Your awe inspiring Jewish lawyer has really come through with some super ideas which are 100% totally correct and should have been brought up prior. My information may just change things 180 degrees in our favor. Way to go, great work!!
