Exposing massive fraud is a very dangerous game

Listed above are just some of the address's that operate "Boiler Rooms" to run virtual or non existent companies and this is just the tip of the iceberg as many such places exist all over London and in most cities in the world. I believe that this is the source of finances to fund the New World Order, The Zionist, Wall Street, The City of London and many of our leading political figures including and up to Presidential and Prime Minister level. It is so vast it is beyond comprehension.



G Day bloke......we have these scams in Australia!!

"Just take a look at ABC "Four Corners" - "Bad Company"....it explains how it all works.....this documentary forms the template and background to all that I have been trying to tell you.......I must say it's sometimes like "Peeing into the Wind" when there's a hurricane blowing.....take a look at it and then believe it's contents..........the link: is http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2008/20080602_bad_company/interviews.htm

Then Select Broadband or Dial up and enjoy!!

The Serious Fraud Office in London have been given a full list of such scams with the names of all those involved, including the political elite. The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is fully aware of the scams and does nothing and the same goes for the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) which is totally unregulated.

One would have to ask the question: "What is behind the Arab Spring" and what is behind the current unrest in the cities of the US, UK and EU ("Western Spring")........when you screw people and put their backs to the wall they get upset and take to the streets to protest to the government about their inability to live a normal life, their inability to buy food, their inability to buy petrol and finally their loss of income and their inability to pay their mortgage..........it is at this very moment when those that caused the problem then move in and do a foreclosure on your home.......it is then that you become a person who is totally dependent on the state to support you and your family.......this is how the New World Order want you to be.....they want to take away your basic rights to a fair income and a healthy lifestyle....they encourage the breakdown of the family unit because they do not want you to be happy......they encourage drugs, drinking, gambling and social unrest so that they can then implement more stringent laws so that you become a servant to their requirements.......finally they take away your education and essential services with harsh austerity measure so that you have to pay more taxes and receive nothing in return........the final straw is to encourage an unbalanced influx of migrants to break down your identity, to work for peanuts and eventually drive down salaries to make you unemployable or uncompetative...........basically when you add all this together you eventually have a nation of dumb F...... who are on drugs, drink excessively and in general become unruly.......sounds a bit far fetched don't you think?....maybe not!!

There are a few of us who take incredible risks ( sometimes unknown to us) and go that extra mile to reveal this extremely fraudulent society. One such person was Richard Chang who simply did his job and I must say did it very efficiently. He was a typical Chinese guy who put a lot of effort into improving his education and once qualified doing a job he was proud of. Richard unfortunately did his job too well and just so happened to fall across some fraudulent activities at his company headquarter in London (Abbey National).





The Boss of Abbey National - Luqman Arnold

We will never know exactly what he did uncover but for sure he could see what was once a thriving business going down the drain in a big way. The management obviously realised that Richard knew too much and had basically come across some insider trading or assett stripping within the company. It was obviously his job to look for such things but as you know when it comes to corruption or fraud the management expect you to wear very dark sunglasses and see nothing............dear Richard paid the ultimate price and was murdered/assasinated and pushed over the fifth floor balcony at Abbey National.



Richards Family and Support Group

So let's again revisit this terrible event that led to his death and talk about a sequence of unexplained activities that clearly shows that something was terribly wrong in the Abbey National Empire and could it be that this was a well orchestrated collapse that would allow the Spanish company, Santander, to gain immediate access into the UK.

It was painfully obvious that their demise was no accident and that Santander would eventually pick up a well established company in the UK, on the cheap, and immediatlly have outlets in almost every city in the UK.........you must admit commercially speaking that's an incredibly good deal!!

Richards family have tried so hard to get a fair hearing of this case, even to get a fair autopsy but in much the same way as dear Dr. David Kelly their pleas fell upon deaf ears!!

Here is Richard Chang's story and the time line of events:


WAS RICHARD CHANG'S DEATH COVERED UP?

Suspicious death of Richard Chang at Abbey National headquarters, Euston, London 13 July 2004



Richard Chang was a senior Risk Business analyst who worked for Abbey National Treasury Service, now a part of Santander UK from 2002 and until his death13 July 2004. He was a highly intelligent happily married family man with two teenage children.

He went to work as normal on the 13 July 2004 and was told to attend a meeting. This meeting with Kroll Associates turned into an interrogation about malicious anonymous documents relating to fraud by senior directors. Howard Jones a former detective superintendent from the Metropolitan police, from Kroll tried toWere the British goverment complicit in the collapse of the banks? force a confession from Richard over a two hour period. Richard denied authorship of the document.

During a break in the interrogation by Kroll Associates, Richard was allegedly reported missing. An unreliable witness reported that he saw Richard climb over an internal balcony and fall from a height of 80 feet to his death. Police witness statements stated that the cranium split open but there was no blood on the floor.



The verdict at the Coroner's Inquest was suicide. The parents, sisters and friends of Richard Chang believe the circumstances relating to Richard’s death are suspicious and the truth has been covered up. For more information https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Richard_Chang



The post-mortem done by the discredited former Home Office pathologist Dr Freddie Patel is now under question. The Chang Family lodged a complaint with the General Medical Council in July 2010. . Dr Patel is known recently for the questionable Ian Tomlinson postmortem. He recorded the cause of death as natural causes. He is also known for the postmortem of Sally White who was murdered by Anthony Hardy, the Camden Ripper. Dr Patel also recorded the death as natural causes

Abbey National is a disgrace to Britain's savings industry. It may not be in the same league as Equitable Life, the stricken pensions group that has ruined the retirement plans of thousands of investors, but it is not far off.
Abbey has behaved in an irresponsible and cavalier fashion, lending money by the bucketload to companies that have either gone bust, or look as if they might. Financial controls and risk management appear to have gone out of the window.

As you know I have tried time and time again to expose massive corporate fraud in this country involving high level management, the banks and many high profile political figures in the Houses of Parliament and The House of Lords.

I can assure you that this state of affairs exist in almost every country but the City of London, for sure, takes a lead in truly being the "Axis of Evil." What is even more amazing is the fact that many of the collapsed banks and financial institutions are now proped up by our government who in some cases are also shareholders ie RBS and Northern Rock etc........don't you find it rather strange that some of the high ranking executive of those collapsed banks, who paid themselves vast bonuses and dipped their sticky fingers in the pot are now at the helm of the newly resurected banks.......yes you heard right!!!.......and guess what they are doing exactly the same all over again........all under the watchful eye of our corrupt politicians/government



Richard Chang - So good at his job and so much to live for

This is just one small example of the level of corruption and fraud that exists here in the UK and in many countries overseas. The current "Arab Spring & Western Spring" is as a direct result of these money laundering, assett stripping, insider trading CEO's and their equally fraudulent Bank CEO's and the "Political Scum" that are either involved themselves or allow it to continue.

They have now created a new concept for the New World Order......a sort of reverse "Robin Hood Mentality" of robbing the poor to feed the rich..........they rip of all those that have worked so hard to achieve their dreams, take their jobs, take their homes.........this same scum place our soldiers at great risk in wars and conflicts that only feed their own pocket and then have the audacity to contaminate them and millions of people around the world with Depleted Uranium nano particles.......why don't you ever ask what all this is about?..........its the New World Order as its best.......send in the lambs to the slaughter and turn your back on them and their families when they die "For what they thought was a just cause" or come home badly injured and then switch of their support mechanism.

These scoundrels are now implementing their massive austerity measure to reap in even more money to cover up for the money that they have already siphoned off the system........they then force the President or Prime Minister to resign and put in place their own New World Order friendly puppets, most of whom have worked in finance and are part of the problem......we can clearly see this in Greece and Italy......!!!

Now as these powerful people duck for cover ie Merkel and Sarkosy they are now talking about reducing the size of the EU to cream off the best and throw the rest to the wolves.........one can clearly see that the European Union is just a tentacle of the NWO Octopus and is basically dead in the water.....as is the Euro.......it is time to take our countries back and redeem our own nationality and sovereignty .

In closing all I can say is Rest in Peace dear Richard Chang.....you did your country proud but the government considered you a risk to their income and so you paid the ultimate price.........bless you for doing that and bless your family and friends.

Pandora's Box - Pandora’s Box – What happens when you expose massive fraud?

The Case of Richard Chang Part 2

Does the New World Order actually exist? – You bet it does!!

Did you ever link the Masonic Lodge with this massive empire? – You should have!!

Ever wondered how this evil satanic empire obtains its money? – Its easy believe me!!

Many times when you are uncovering massive corporate fraud you expose yourself sometime to ridicule and at other times to danger….such could have been the case with Richard Chang who may have exposed the wheeling and dealing within the original Abbey National Bank Empire situated at Number 2 Triton Square, Euston, London………that company was eventually taken over by Santander, a Spanish company.

The Abbey National Bank HQ in London was a substantial building of multi levels with an internal atrium. The picture below show the building after it was taken over by Santander.

Old Abbey National Building (Scene of the crime)
2 Triton Square , Euston, London

Luqman Arnold former head of Abbey National

I have over the weekend been reading and listening to the interrogation of Richard Chang and I have to say that under the circumstance Richard stood his ground extremely well and despite the aggressive pursuit by Howard Jones it became clear that they certainly didn't gain anything from the exercise. To even imagine that this interrogation took place in a corporate office is beyond imagination and the senior management of Abbey National certainly have a case to answer.

Just to pick up where we left off in my last article it is clear that the police failed to carry out a proper investigation into the death of Richard Chang and took the word of an ex senior police officer. This obviously was deeply flawed and certainly is in breach of the Police Code of Conduct.......I again repeat what was said about this:


Richard’s sister, Valerie Chang spoke to Sergeant Neil Payne a few days after the death and asked why the police had not removed the digital device from Howard Jones immediately after Richard had died. He said that it was not necessary because Howard Jones was an ex-Detective Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police. I think that Sgt Neil Payne and the Senior Investigation Officer, DS Martin Sloan should both be investigated by the IPCC on this issue alone.

In regard to the actual tape of the interrogation it would certainly appear to have been tampered with and again the IPCC should obtain the original tape, that is currently held by Howard Jones, and again analyze the tape to determine if in actual fact it was tampered with.

Chang family support group

We will now focus on the actual inquest into the death of Richard Chang.
Witness statements stated that there was hardly any blood on the floor and that it was odd. At the Coroner’s Inquest, St. Pancras Coroners’ Court, King’s Cross held in July 2005 and conducted by the Coroner, Dr. Andrew Scott-Reid, the medical forensic expert, Dr. Freddie Patel did not attend court to be cross -examined by legal representatives. The post mortem report described that on inspection, Richard had marks on his body.

The Chang Family is sure that Dr. Freddie Patel did not do a thorough inspection and assessment. There has not been an independent forensic report done to date. The Coroner allowed inconclusive forensic evidence to be admitted at the Inquest.

From my perspective I find it hard to believe that if a person threw himself off a balcony in the way described there would certainly be excessive amounts of blood at the scene.......the fact that there was hardly any blood would indicate that he had been murdered at another location prior to going over the balcony ie his circulatory system had ceased. The other issue is what were these other marks on his body?

Shortly after Richard died Abbey National plc was taken over by the Banco de Santander, a Spanish banking group. The Metropolitan Police only began taking witness statements from key witnesses on 21st July 2004. Howard Jones gave a brief witness statement on 29th July 2004 and Peter Pender-Cudlip did not give a witness statement until 3rd August 2004. Most of the people involved in selecting Richard and Vincent for interrogation had left Abbey. Some Abbey employees who gave witness statements to the police were ‘restructured’ out of a job. Priscilla Vacassin now works for Prudential Insurance and Luqman Arnold presently works for the FSA. Stephen Hester moved to British Land PLC and then RBSnd Peter Pender-Cudlip subsequently left Kroll and set up his own company called GWP. Lord Burns is chairman of both Abbey National Bank PLC and Marks and Spencer PLC.

Something strange going on here!! How come the IPCC have done nothing about this?
I came across an interesting article by David Noakes who in my opinion hit the nail on the head when he made the following statement:

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) went from assets of plus £88 billion in 1999 to estimated liabilities of minus £1.3 trillion in 2009 – equal to a year’s income (GDP) for the whole of Great Britain. If Directors with mental disabilities had been appointed, they might have reduced the bank’s value by half. But to utterly destroy it on so stupendous a scale took real knowledge and determination.

It seems clear the wholesale mismanagement and corruption of banks by their directors was not unbelievable incompetence, but criminal. The government huffs and puffs at bonuses and pensions paid as a reward for failure, but then in every case it lets those corrupt payments, totaling billions of pounds, stand without passing legislation to confiscate. It looks as though these huge bonuses and pensions were intentionally paid to compensate directors precisely for destroying their own banks, and for a job well done.

He went on to say the following regarding Abbey National:

But take the case of Abbey National. In July 2004 their risk management officer, Richard Chang, was objecting that the run down of the bank by directors was deliberate (it resulted in the Bank’s ownership being transferred to a European Bank, Santander.) The HBOS whistleblower alleged the same.

The courts, CPS, coroner, FSA, directors and police have closed ranks to prevent a criminal prosecution or investigation. These services all have large numbers of freemasons in their senior structures.

High ranking Freemasonry runs right through this banking crisis. All the failed banks, Northern Rock, Abbey, RBS, Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) had Freemasonry controlling their boards. Gordon Brown is a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemason, as was Tony Blair; there are 400,000 of them in Britain.

Gordon and I certainly agree with David Noakes, especially in regard to the Courts, Coroner, FSA, Directors and Police…..we both have continuously exposed massive fraud with forensic evidence produced by Gordon Bowden and all information/evidence has been passed on to Politicians, Political Parties, Serious Fraud Office and the local police……they are so arrogant they do not even reply to the claims made and even refuse to take recorded statements under oath. Having said that we must fully understand that this goes well beyond what David Noakes has reported…….this is how the New World Order operates and how they fund their huge organization……they are answerable to no one!!

In conclusion one would assume that even had Richard written the report regarding fraud etc then one would assume that in any company the case would have been handed over to the police for further investigation..... Obviously in this case there may have been fraud actually taking place and so the company decided to remove Richard and blame it on suicide.

It is hoped by the time we come to Part 3 of Richards tragic story we will have proof that Abbey National and there senior management were doing some insider trading deals and also asset stripping so stay tuned for the next part.

As Gordon and I continue to expose the organization that intentionally collapsed the world economy we do, from time to time, turn up the heat and why not because devils really do like to keep warm don’t they?

Many times when you are uncovering massive corporate fraud you expose yourself sometime to ridicule and at other times to danger….such could have been the case with Richard Chang who may have exposed the wheeling and dealing within the original Abbey National Bank Empire situated at Number 2 Triton Square, Euston, London………that company was eventually taken over by Santander, a Spanish company.

One has to understand that in order for the New World Order to survive it needs to syphon off huge sums of money by creating virtual or shell companies. Places like Lonrho Plc situated on the 2nd Floor, 25 Berkeley Square, London have a boiler room full of fraudulent activities and believe me they do it with such ease.

David Lenigas Lonrho

Can you imagine for instance someone getting a spade, digging a small hole in the ground, pop up a large tin shed, surround it with a security fence, erect a nice new sign to show this huge open pit copper mine or whatever and then finally place a couple of rough looking armed security guards and you have the making of a virtual company.

Then you create a nice new video showing your activity around the world with a couple of new trucks, a drill rig and lots of false out of date data and maps and you are ready to start your world tour to raise money for the project or phase.

You then invite lots of investors and a few little old ladies, wine and dine them and then show them your elaborate presentation before they finally succumb to your charm and hand over their hard earned money………..what they do not know is that from that moment their money has gone forever……..you then take the $6 billion or whatever and distribute it around the many directors (they have no employees) of your fake company who then distribute it via their other fake outlets so that its well and truly hidden.

Finally over the next 5 years you have to play your investors along and tell them things are looking good and you are carrying out exploration etc………then during year 2 you give them another update that things are looking good for production………then in year 3 you have a few setbacks such has torrential rain in the Congo or maybe a bit of the ongoing conflict has caused you a few setbacks……then in year 4 its getting worse and the exploration findings are not showing the yield you were expecting and by year 5….sorry folks the political situation and the current price of copper has caused us to pull out of the project as its no longer viable and the company closes down…….what you don’t know is that they re start the entire exercise all over again and rip another batch of investors off.

Before trying to understand how massive corporate fraud operates and how they are connected to the banks and many political figures we have to watch the following video which will act as a template for you all to better understand what is going on in all our respective countries:

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2008/20080602_bad_company/interviews.htm

OK with that out the way lets just get back to the main purpose of this story which is to reveal the fate of one such possible whistleblower, who just may have come across the fact that his company, Abbey National Bank, were carrying out massive fraud.

Maybe Richard Chang didn’t realize that because he was conscientious and because he was good at his job he just may have uncovered something that would eventually lead to his tragic death.

So who was Richard Chang:

Richard Chang was born on 8th December 1956 in Kampala , Uganda and grew up in England from the age of 7 years. He was married and was the father of two young children. He was a high achiever with a Degree in Polymer Science from Manchester University and an MBA from London University . He was well spoken, articulate and his first language was English.

Richard Chang worked at the Abbey National Bank PLC (Head Office)(“Abbey”) based at Triton Square , Euston, London . His role was that of a senior IT Risk Analyst and he commenced working in this specialty from 2002 onwards. He was working on a system known as the BASEL II corporate banking governance project. (Very concisely, BASEL II is the successor to BASEL I, originally set up by Peter Cooke, a Director of the Bank of England to enable central banks to assess lending and liability portfolios for the commercial banks it supervised. The system expanded to be applied by other central banks, internationally). Richard and his line manager, Vincent Santeng, were the only personnel at Abbey working on this project.

Richard gave his notice of resignation from Abbey on 2nd July 2007. This was so that he would begin work at the Royal Bank of Scotland on 2nd August 2004. However, on the 13th July 2004 shortly following a two hour interrogation by two operatives of Kroll Associates (“Kroll”), a private corporate intelligence and investigations’ company, Richard was found dead at almost 13.45pm on the ground floor atrium. It is said that he tragically fell from the fifth floor balcony inside the atrium of Abbey’s head office. In the interrogation, he was accused of writing and sending malicious anonymous documents to the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) and senior directors of Abbey. The anonymous documents are said to have contained allegations of fraudulent malpractice at Abbey by senior directors. Ex-employees who worked closely with Richard at Abbey are of the opinion that the circumstances of his death are highly suspicious.

What I find an amazing coincidence is the fact that if he had uncovered fraud he was just about to join another company that was also rife with fraud at the time, the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Family and friends of Richard are convinced that this certainly was not a case of suicide and that his life ended after his cross examination by Kroll under very suspicious circumstances.

Before continuing with this story lets just give another example of one other location like Lonrho’s who also specialises in massive corporate fraud and who also operates a substantial boiler room of virtual/shell companies……the company is Arlington Associates and they are situated at 25 Arlington Street which is attached to the Ritz Hotel in London…..how convenient don’t you think?.......when you are ripping off the system its nice to pop in next door and enjoy the luxuries of life…….one should ask Tony Blair how good life can be as he his a regular participant in this world of deceit.

What I find ironic about this location is the fact that once some men dressed in a trilby, trench coats and very dark sunglasses carried out a raid there and yet this empire of massive fraud still continues doing what it does best……..taking your money…..no doubt it’s ring leader ex Ambassador Frances D Cook is still sleeping on a mattress of green back’s and also pushing over the pond the weapons that are manufactured by her other company ATK.

Maybe next time there is a march in London the crowds may just find this out of the way location……..they came close on the last rally when they targeted the Ritz…..in actual fact a group actually headed down the street to the left (Arlington Street) but obviously didn’t notice this boiler room that helped cause our economic decline…..oh well better luck next time hey?

Frances D Cook

Above you will see the directors of this illustrious company some of whom are ex SAS members, which appears to be a benchmark in qualifying for such a high status…..at the end of the day when you are ripping off the system you also need to protect your interests in whatever way required……..the same goes for Kroll Associates, a private corporate intelligence and investigation company to whom poor Richard Chang is alleged to have fallen victim too.

Now back to the Richard Chang story:

It is very clear that Richard, in his position as Senior IT Risk Analyst, would have been privy to some extremely sensitive information regarding the affairs of the Abbey National Bank. Richard, being a person with a pretty good IQ, would probably have also come across some irregularities within the bank, especially the possibility of fraud at director level and accordingly if this was the case would have been considered a high risk person by some members of the board. The very fact that he could well have uncovered something significant and that he was soon to leave for another job could have led to his death……what Richard didn’t understand was that he was about to join a much larger organization, The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), which also appeared rife with fraud at director level. It could have even been possible that there was some collusion between Abbey & the RBS regarding Richard Chang as it is normal for banks to have a cross check system on security issues etc and could have profiled him.

The main issue here is why did Richard suddenly become a target for the bank whilst he was serving his notice, why was his interrogation so aggressive and why would he have committed suicide when he had so much to live for……….from my perspective I find the basics of the case deeply suspicious and certainly there is a case to answer…..so lets now look at the events on that day.

The Abbey National Bank HQ in London is a substantial building of multi levels with an internal atrium. The picture below show the building after it was taken over by Santander.

The day started normally for Richard and he had even made arrangement to meet up with family members later on in the day but what he didn’t realize on the day that they had hood winked him into attending a routine meeting that was not a meeting at all but a very privately arranged interrogation of Richard by Kroll Security. No one was allowed to sit in with him during this time. This in itself his totally out of order because Richard was a member of the union and it is normal for a union rep to be present. On could also clearly see that this was a breach of Human Rights and whatever the final verdict Abbey certainly has a case to answer.

The Guardian put Richards situation into perspective when they said:
Richard Chang didn't know he was being watched. He didn't know his employer had hired investigators to access employees' PCs and take fingerprints from glass water bottles around the office. He didn't know there were linguistics experts dissecting the grammar in every memo, email and letter. He didn't know he was on a list of 600 "suspects". And he didn't know that when he was called to what he thought was a routine Tuesday meeting he would spend the next two and a half hours being interviewed.

It is clear that this interview actually turned into a high pressure interrogation which I was about to find out when I listened to the taped transcript (which incidentally had been doctored). However I will get back to the interrogation later and now discuss some of the key players in this massive cover-up and also list the directors of the Abbey National Bank.

You will all find as we dig deeper into this tragic case at Abbey that some of the directors certainly were and still are implicated in massive fraud so let’s just divert our thoughts into what was possibly going on at number two Triton Square, Euston.

Luqman Arnold

The director of Abbey was Luqman Arnold and during his time in office was believed to be asset stripping the accounts at Abbey as were other directors. It was when the toxic assets increased that Arnold decided to sell the Abbey to Santander, a Spanish company……what was rather strange was the fact that Arnold stayed on after the Santander takeover and managed to secure himself a position as a consultant…….I guess one could possible believe that its better to know the devil you know than the devil you don’t!!

The banking sector and the Financial Times sometimes referred to him as “Lucky” or the Saviour but believe me there was no luck for those that fell under his spell or those that lost money whilst on his watch.

One statement referred to him as follows: Luqman Arnold makes an unlikely saviour of Britain's high street banks. Five years ago it was Abbey. Now he hopes to turn his healing hands to the crippled Northern Rock…etc

Arnolds CV reads as follows:

First National Bank in Dallas 1972-76,
Manufacturers Hanover Corporation 1976-82
Head of Investment Banking origination Credi Suesse First Boston 1982-92
Research Sabbatical 1992-93
Member Exec Committee and Bd Banque Paribas 1993-96
Group Exec Bd and President UBS AG 1996-2001
Chief Exec Abbey National plc 2002-2004
Senior Advisor to Chairman Grupo Santander 2004-06
Chairman Olivant Advisers Ltd 2006 –
Chairman Design Museum 2005-

One can clearly see that whichever way you turn the banks are up to their neck in corporate fraud and even offer unsecured loans to non existent oil and mining projects that then becomes a toxic debt…….oh well what difference does it make they just ask the government to bail them out and pass it on to the tax payer.
I can assure you that when I write the next article it will open up an extremely large hornet’s nest of fraud and corruption but in the meantime lets again get back to Richard’s tragic story.

There is no doubt whatsoever that in his position as a Senior IT Risk Analyst with the Abbey he would have uncovered something that would lead to his demise and it would be clear to anyone with an ounce of intelligence that the fraudulent senior staff members of the Abbey would have arranged for his removal.

Lets now look Richards death in more detail with the following details that were sent to me by a member of the family:

The Interrogation

Abbey management confirmed that on 13th July 2004, Richard was taken to a ground floor meeting room, where he was secretly taped by Kroll. There is in existence a copy of the recording and transcript of the interrogation which gives evidence that Richard was bullied, heckled and victimized during the session by the two operatives, Howard Jones (a former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Superintendent and Peter Pender-Cudlip, a Solicitor and Kroll Director) of Kroll. At the Coroner’s Inquest (18th -20th July 2005), Richard’s line manager who was also interrogated by Kroll, following after Richard’s interrogation, confirmed that the recording of his interrogation had been edited. The Chang Family has strong reason to believe that the recording of Richard’s interrogation has also been heavily edited. Howard Jones admitted in a witness statement to the Inquest that he had tampered with the original recording by downloading it from his MP3 player onto the hard drive of his computer. He made a CD copy of the digital recording of the interrogation which he handed to the Metropolitan Police on the 29th July 2004. That is, 15 days after Richard had died. The Metropolitan Police took another week to transfer it on to audio tape.

So what happened and who was responsible for initiating the investigation and interrogation?

On 13th July 2004, Richard was deceived (by his own department manager) into attending a BASEL II project meeting on his own which subsequently turned into a two and a half hour interrogation by Kroll Associates, conducted by Howard Jones, an ex-Detective Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police and Peter Pender-Cudlip, a city lawyer. The interrogation was authorized by Abbey Management Directors. It was instigated by Luqman Arnold, CEO. Karen Fortunato, Company Secretary, Stephen Hester, Priscilla Vacassin, Human Resources director and Richard Carr, Interim Human Resources Director, Nathan Bostock, Head of Treasury, Nigel Walder (Button Wood Tree Consultancy-working within Abbey), Mark Jackson, IT manager, John Hasson, Ryan Brosnahan were involved in the investigation.

What was unethical (and suspicious) about the investigation conducted by Abbey’s Management?

Prior to the interrogation on 13th July 2004, Abbey’s Management, embarked on an investigation to determine who wrote the anonymous documents. The directors allege during the investigation they identified 40 possible suspects. In the RR65 race questionnaire, it was admitted that, out of the 40 suspects, Richard and his line manager (Nigerian origin) were the only non-whites. They allegedly devised a matrix system to identify suspects. The matrix has not been disclosed to the family notwithstanding albeit repeated requests to Abbey and the Metropolitan Police. Nathan Bostock decided very early on before the main investigation had begun that Richard Chang (Chinese) and his immediate line manager Vincent Santeng (Black) were co-authors of the anonymous documents i.e. pre-selection cannot be ruled out. Abbey allege that finger prints were secretly taken from drinking glasses using white gloves, from envelopes containing the anonymous documents as well as Richard’s personnel files. Richard Carr (Human Resources director) and Mark Jackson (Richard and Vincent’s IT manager) were allegedly instructed to take samples of Richard’s finger prints (using white gloves) without his consent ostensibly from drinking glasses after an appraisal meeting. Evidence shows that the results of the fingerprinting were inconclusive. When fingerprinting is used to identify an individual it is vital that a high degree of skill is exercised because the potential for error is high. It is important that all factors which would create any bias are eliminated (see Shirley McKie v Strathclyde Police).

The Chang Family has never been shown any evidence which proves Richard wrote the anonymous documents. The Chang Family maintains that Abbey has no evidence at all to prove that Richard wrote the anonymous documents. Richard’s line manager, after taking an employment action against Abbey, was cleared of all wrong-doing in respect of Abbey, who had originally accused both Richard and his line manager of writing the anonymous documents.

Who was responsible for allowing Richard to go in to the interrogation unattended?

The directors of Abbey management authorized the interrogation. Witness statements show that Robin Parkinson, Abbey’s in-house solicitor was consulted by Richard Carr and approved that the interrogations could take place without the presence of a trade union representative – or anyone else. Parkinson allowed Richard to be deceived on the false premise that Richard was a threat to IT security. Vincent Santeng stated at the Coroner’s Inquest that Richard could not have been a threat to IT security. Robin Parkinson’s line manager at the material time was Karen Fortunato. She is the Company Secretary for Abbey. Robin Parkinson commenced employment with Abbey on 5th July 2004 which was just 7 days before Richard died.


Why was this wrong?
An ex- employee of Abbey and a Trade Union representative who worked for Abbey for 16 years was approached by the interim Director of HR, Richard Carr to seek his advice. Richard Carr and Abbey Management in general chose to ignore his advice which was that there should always be a representative in such a meeting and that there was a written protocol that stated this. At a pre-hearing review in July 2006 the ex-Abbey employee said that he believed Richard was ‘ambushed’ and would probably still be alive today if he had been accompanied.

At a pre-hearing tribunal employment case against Abbey in July 2006, the ex-employee of Abbey emphasized that he had advised the Human Resources (“HR”) Director that anyone being interviewed should be accompanied by a member of the trade union. He stated that Richard was a member of the trade union. He re-iterated on more than one occasion that he was concerned that someone would be mistreated by Abbey. He also conferred with his line manager about the HR Director not taking his advice that there should be a trade union representative to accompany Richard Chang. He also mentioned that under the chairmanship of Lord Burns, this ‘new set of directors’ “would do as they please and no matter what information was given, they would not follow.”

Conduct of the Kroll Agents

In the interrogation, the Kroll agents accused Richard in tandem with Vincent Santeng of being the co-authors of the anonymous documents supposedly sent to the FSA and to Abbey, alleging financial corruption, fraud and sexual impropriety by named directors, Luqman Arnold, Nathan Bostock, Nigel Walder and Nick Riley. At the interrogation, Howard Jones made comments to the effect that he was accusing Richard of being one of the authors of the anonymous documents. Abbey believed that there was more than one author and that the first language of the originator(s) was not English. Richard therefore could not have been the author because his first language was English. Howard Jones and Peter Pender-Cudlip, the two Kroll agents, heckled, bullied and intimidated Richard in a degrading and hostile manner.

Howard Jones subjected Richard to continual and aggressive harassment in a futile attempt to get him to admit to writing (or being a significant contributor to) the authorship of the anonymous documents. Richard never admitted (at any time) that he wrote (or contributed to) any of the documents. Richard was put under psychological pressure whilst being detained in the interrogation room for two and a half hours without any intermission and he finally had to insist that they allow him go for a natural break since he was also hungry. The interrogation was racially discriminatory, personally degrading and hostile.

The Chang family previously issued a race questionnaire (“RR65”) to Abbey and Kroll. It is apparent from Abbey’s response that there are racial implications connected with their response i.e. out of the 40 suspects selected only Richard and his line manager were the only non-white. A matrix system (not shown at all to the Chang Family) by Abbey management was used.

What else was illegal and unethical?

Howard Jones secretly recorded the interrogation using a digital device hidden in a brief case without Richard’s consent. Richard’s line manager (on oath) stated at the Coroner’s Inquest that parts of the recording of the interrogation had been edited removing evidence relating to bullying, harassment and race.

Nathan Bostock was one of the named directors in the anonymous documents. Abbey’s internal management alleges that they investigated whether or not there was any substance to the contents of the anonymous documents and (ostensibly) subsequently found that there were none. Immediately following this ‘finding’, Nathan Bostock was assigned to head the investigation into the authorship of the anonymous documents.
The Metropolitan police conducted a flawed investigation

Richard’s line manager, Vincent Santeng, who was also interrogated by Kroll just before Richard died, alerted the police on the day that the circumstances relating to Richard’s death were suspicious. He is reported to have said “They’ve killed him”. The Senior Investigation Officer, Detective Sergeant Martin Sloan, from Holborn Police Station, after talking to Howard Jones (an ex-Detective Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police), Nathan Bostock and Mark Jackson concluded on the next day that the death was a suicide and was not suspicious.

Richard’s sister, Valerie Chang spoke to Sergeant Neil Payne a few days after the death and asked why the police had not removed the digital device from Howard Jones immediately after Richard had died. He said that it was not necessary because Howard Jones was an ex-Detective Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police. The handwritten note addressed to Howard Jones has been forensically tested by the Police. The results were that the signature was inconclusive. There are evidential inconsistencies as to where the note was actually found.

Having worked in association with Intel at NATO HQ and having worked at a Police Operation Centre I can assure you that the comments made by Sgt Neil Payne regarding the digital device held by Howard Jones were not normal police protocol. There was also a fundamental mistake made by The Senior Investigaton Officer, DS Martin Sloan when he had taken and accepted the word of an ex cop (ex DCS of the Metropolitan Police -Howard Jones) and concluded that the death was suicide before a full investigations, forensic sweep of the building and before the full autopsy results were known……this again was a non standard flaw by those involved and certainly should qualify for the case to be re opened.

Regarding the Police Investigation - I have observed gross violations of normal police procedures here, especially when they accepted the word of a non serving member. It is of my opinion that what happened on that day and how the investigation was conducted certainly qualifies for an inquiry by the IPCC.

Regarding Abbey Nation - There is also a clear case against the company in relation to a violation of basic human rights in the way Richard Chang was treated. Senior members of staff at the time should be pulled back in for further investigation on this matter and charged. There is also the case of fraudulent activity taking place at a very high level and in this context the senior members of staff should be investigation by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and charges made if appropriate.

There are many more interesting findings which I will discuss in Part 2 of the Richard Chang Story as well as revealing the possibility of massive fraud which is interconnected to other fraudulent webs that once again just so happen to link in with 22 Arlington Street, London.

One thing I can assure the Chang Family is that Richard’s death will not be in vain…..this man obviously knew too much and now Gordon and I know what that may have been up too……Richard may have been the sacrificial lamb but one thing for sure….the perpetrators who planned and carried out his death will truly regret their actions because we will not only look for justice and bring those responsible to court but we will also shake the very foundation of the other scumbags who continue to rape the corporate and banking sectors of this country.

I believe that after this exposure the police and those involved will themselves look for a scapegoat and offer one of their own to become their sacrificial lamb rather than risk continues media exposure of their fraudulent and corrupt empire………Gordon and I would certainly ask for a focus to be placed on the ex cop Howard Jones who could well turn out to be that lamb!!

What I find incredibly sad is an assessment that was carried out on the system that had been pushed into the Abbey and become one of Richard’s projects. The report stated the following:

A set of capital adequacy standards for international banks drawn up by a committee of G-10 supervisors – is essential if we are to avoid another financial crisis. This paper argues that this conclusion is false: Basel II is not the solution to the crisis, but instead an underlying cause of it. I ask why Basel II’s creators fell so short of their aim of improving the safety of the international banking system…….Basel II failed and its replacement Basel III is also doomed to failure. Richard was working on this failed system and I am sure he was probably aware that this upgrade was also a total waste of money for a company that was struggling to stay afloat, especially that the CEO was intending to sell the company to Santander anyway!!.


Mmmmmm something strange going on here!!.......Must ask Howard Jones more questions!!

Watch this space for more in depth details of Richard’s interrogation, autopsy and strong ties to Temple Church etc as well as how these directors have all moved on to continue the same line of work……you will be very surprised just how well Gordon Bowden has linked the spiders web to the same pile of crooks we have been talking about for a very long time………as you know my site is continuously attacked by the political elite but Gordon and I remain strong and continue to pump the information out.
