I've been following this forum since this all kicked off in July, as I was waiting for a space to open up with Investing4You and keen to get in. Obviously I'm quite relieved I didn't because of all this, but there are things I do not understand regarding this whole debate. How is anyone that isn't a client of Declan and Investing4You, able to weigh in and have any say on this situation, other than using speculation, hearsay, word of mouth and rumours? Most of these posts against Investing4You scream jealousy to me, I'm assuming because they couldn't initially get in? And the people who appear to be defending Investing4You (likely clients) actually have some evidence showing positive progress, like the PayPal refund.
From what I understand, the clients are in contact with the company's solicitor, receiving updates the investigation progresses. Most the information will be confidential until the investigation is closed, with the only thing close to the truth been what the solicitor updates emails say. Absolutely anything else said on this forum, is speculation!
The PayPal refund is legitimate, as I have heard several people (not on this forum) whom I know had invested via PayPal and have received a refund directly from the Investing4You PayPal account, not as a refund from PayPal itself. This money can't be claimed back by PayPal in the future as the refund didn't come from PayPal, it came THROUGH PayPal, like any other business transaction/refund. Don't add worry to those who have managed to get their money back, telling them it may be taken away again? As that just isn't true. I am happy for those who have their investment back and this seems to be a good sign of progress.
None of you can state this is a scam until the investigation has concluded, nor can the defenders confidentially state the investing was legitimate! Let the police do their job and the truth will be known. Until then, this forum is just a joke.
