INTRODUCTION
This Blog is dedicated to making public some of the business activities and methods of Liam Collins, David Bone Jr and their associates. In the spring of 2010, the present authors invested in Collins & Bone (C&B), who were offering an enticing 8-10% interest on the basis of buying houses for cash, renovating them and letting them out to students. We were assured that our money was secured against houses that they owned, including their own homes and the properties held by their associated company, Castle & Gatehouse (C&G). We have emails and brochures that confirm these details, as do others who invested on this same basis at around the same time. The idea worked for us for over a year, then in November 2011 they told us they were insolvent. They refused our every request for clear accounts, which led us to suspect wrongdoing. We began an investigation and then started this Blog. We found our suspicions confirmed: other investors had lost sometimes quite large amounts to C&B and its predecessor CBS, and all requests for repayment were adamantly refused. These people use and have used so many names that we found it necessary to compress them into CoBo (for Collins & Bone) and Coboco (for the whole bunch of them – there are quite a few!) Note that there is an index in the margin at the right hand side.

ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT BY DAVID BONE JR

David Bone Jr has managed to postpone his interview with the Public Examiner until the 7th August. This is the story of CoBo's life: their strategy is to wear down their opposite numbers—their creditors and those representing the law of the land—by endless procrastination and argument. Their behaviour simply asks to be called to account and we trust that the authorities are now hot on their trail. We know also that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are very keen to find out about years of unpaid taxes.
