      How is everyone? Any updates? I discovered that The CEO, Alex Leese, is now a director at William Hill online! Take a look, it says this on his LinkedIn profile. I really don't think a bloke who played such a big part in the fraud at Smart Live should be allowed to stay in the gambling industry. On LinkedIn he is lying about where he was working over the Smart Live period. He probably lied to William Hill too. If we can't get our money back and the police won't do anything about his fraud, then at least we can do our best to ensure he does not get away without any consequences! He's getting paid a large salary, in a position of power where he can take advantage of people again. Meanwhile, all the players from back at Smart Live are out at pocket, some by £10,000s. I sent William Hill an email through their online form just now to expose his history at Smart Live. I told them everything I know. Take some power back and do the same! If they get enough emails, they might just pay attention!

      That is, unless they can be found to have committed fraud with their accounts. Kasim Garipoglu (through his sharholding company, Eagle Internet Investments Ltd) could then be held accountable and he has millions of pounds. Also, if Alex Leese has committed fraud then I imagine he could be held personally accountable too and would then have some money to pay off creditors (although I doubt he has enough to cover it all).

      As Dogshead posted for me (thanks mate, the problem is solved now by using incognito on Chrome), I phoned the liquidators. You would all be unsecured creditors. You just have to phone them and ask for a form so you can make a claim. If you have evidence which can help them pin these people with fraud then you might have a chance of getting your money still. They said they'd be looking into the company at depth and they are aware of concerns around cooking the books...

      I got an email from Companies House directly saying SMART TV UK LIMITED's strike off has been suspended until the 2nd of December. They then wrote: "If you wish to maintain the objection beyond this date, you would need to apply again, in writing, enclosing further up to date documentary evidence to show you are still actively pursuing the company. This evidence should be received at least 2 weeks before the objection is due to expire." So people should all make sure they do this...

      Doesn't seem so, but I heard from Companies House saying they have suspended the company being struck off until December and that if more recent evidence is supplied before then, they will extend the suspension.

      Companies House haven't failed - they've suspended the striking off. They just need the evidence to suspend it for a longer period. Action Fraud may take a little longer considering all the different people contacting them. But, when I contacted them about a different issue in the past, they got back to me towards the end or slightly after that 4 week time period...

      Hi, I am also skeptical and everyone who has filled that in so far has received nothing back, not even an email. I suggest contacting Action Fraud here with your evidence. The more evidence they have, the better chance of achieving our goal. Good luck.

      The value of the shares is £7.9 million (check Companies House). The shareholder seems to be involved in the fraud (according to some ex-employees). So, if the company is forced into liquidation, there will be enough money to pay people. Or, if they are taken to court and found guilty, the situation will be the same. I hope no one buys it and the relevant people are held responsible.

      Go to the reviews section and send a message to the user who posts as Dogshead. He/she is collating a list of all people owed money and has already sent an intial list to Companies House to ensure Smart Live cannot be struck off. You should also contact Action Fraud with any evidence in case legal action needs to be taken.
    15. DaveKumar
      I believe several people have contacted them already and have not received much help so far...

      This is the guy who supposedly owns the sharehoding company, Eagle Internet Investments Ltd. Although we do not currently have enough evidence that this is the case. The other significant person is the CEO from the time that the fraud was taking place. Someone I know spoke to a debt collector and they have access to information about companies the general public don't. This debt collector said that this CEO actually left half way through August, not in July. Also a couple of other directors left in the last two weeks. Apparently this debt collector wouldn't give any other information unless they are employed.

      Thankfully not, but I know people who have been severely affected and I will do anything I can to make sure Smart Live does not get away with it.

      Hi cocopop, We were having an extended discussion on the review board previously. I believe they may have been insolvent before they lost their licence. This is because they were unable to pay people for months (both players and staff) whilst ignoring enquiries, fobbing people off and encouring people to continue betting more. I have heard from ex-employees that they were still trading after most of the staff left due to non-payment. They also offered people to take advantage of new deals (from what I understand of what others have said) after they lost their licence. If so, then Smart Live have committed fraud. It is up to Action Fraud to determine whether the evidence is sufficient to prove this in a criminal court. They are not trading now and have abandoned the property owing rent to the estate agent. You can look through the reviews page for any further information. All the best, Dave

      Hi all, As the administrators have said we should carry out dicussions here, I thought I would kick it off. Thanks to Dogshead for leading on the request to Companies House. I have suggested to him that he overtly state that we believe Smart Live has been trading whilst insolvent. This seems quite probable given how long people have been owed money and the fact they kept making excuses or ignoring your communications. If this is found to be true, then even the directors can be held personally responsible to pay back debts and barred from being a director for 15 years. Otherwise, since it is a limited company, it is harder to hold anyone responsible but the company itself (even the shareholder's liability is limited). This is part of the fraud issue and since it has been overtly stated that they were trading without a licence, I believe it is worth stating this other part of the issue overtly too.
