IS MIZZY JUST MIZ-UNDERSTOOD?

Or is he just a c*nt? 💁🏽‍♀️😂

For those who haven’t seen, there’s a teen (18) who’s gone viral for absolutely ridiculous pranks that have involved taking someone’s dog as well as walking into strangers homes.

He was arrested, fined and given a TV interview with Piers Morgan in the UK;

https://youtu.be/mdij3Eq0TqQ

And while Piers is probably one of the worst people to “host” as he never lets anyone speaks and says some more than questionable things, my focus here is this young man.

HOW? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? AND WHY?!!!

Where are these boys parents/guardians? Family? Are they ever going to address or discipline him?? Because their son is growing up to be an absolute menace. He’s a whole 18 and just knows better than these “pranks” and to just act like it’s just not a thing too? HE’S WHOLE ASS WALKING UP IN HOUSES LIKE RALPH YARL WASN’T SHOT FOR *KNOCKING* ON THE WRONG DOOR?!!!

It’s so disappointing that the youth of these days don’t recognise the laws, the real dangers they’re putting themselves in in-order to go viral, DAILY.

WAKE THE F*CK UP!!!

And there’s people truly making comment on the fact that he “may” have this and that, but truly, what if he’s just trouble?

My point, and my advice is this - and it’s simple. When making content, involving the public or not, ask yourself this ——

Is it really worth the risk of someone locking off your jaw or unaliving you? Are you really willing to do time or go sleep forever over a piece of content?

Cos the answer is no. If you’re struggling, it’s really no. This generation need to realise being viral for all of 5 minutes isn’t the be all and end all, anything you do in life you are going to have to work at it - there’s really no easy way to be successful.

This guy’s continuously upping the anti on his pranks and challenges, SO many kids are. We need to be a bit more aware, ourselves, of what the next generation are doing in order to get likes and follows - if we don’t step in and give some direction, it ends up with more kids like Mizzy.

If I was his Mum, he wouldn’t have a phone and he wouldn’t see the light of day nor his friends for the foreseeable future. If I was his Dad, I would rock his jaw until he thought I was sending him back to God 😂

He’s made his family look a mess, himself, his entire lineage. 18, and what university or business is willingly offering a place to someone like this? Cancel culture is very much here and real. The fact that he STILL can’t even seem remorseful is so deafeningly stupid to me.

Hoping someone can get through to this boy, honestly. There are so many other ways to become a successful content creator beyond being a foolish, self centred, unaware, out of control young adult that chases clout for views and likes this.

18 is old enough to know better. Period.

According to a survey, the Labour Party is expected to win the UK general election in a historic fashion.

Find out how the UK Labour Party is expected to win a record number of seats in the next general election, surpassing its landslide victory in 1997. Discover how the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, and other major parties are expected to fare in this election, which has the potential to drastically alter British politics.

According to a significant new survey by Survation published on Tuesday, the UK Labour Party is expected to win more seats in Thursday's general election than it won during its historic landslide triumph in 1997—an extraordinary turn of events.

It is predicted that the opposition center-left party, which has been out of office since 2010, would win 484 of the 650 seats available. Should this forecast come to pass, it would be a remarkable triumph in contemporary British history and profoundly alter the political terrain of the United Kingdom. In the much-awaited victory, Keir Starmer, the leader of Labour, will take over as prime minister, unseating Rishi Sunak, the leader of the Conservative Party.

A clear Labour victory on July 4 has been continuously predicted by Survation's poll, which is a part of a series of MRP (multi-level regression and post-stratification) polls that employ large national samples to forecast results for each UK seat. According to the most recent figures, Labour is expected to secure over 42% of the total vote, a substantial lead over the 23% Conservatives. 

The UK's winner-take-all election system means that, despite the Conservatives' forecast percentage of the vote, they are only likely to win 64 seats, while the moderate Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) are projected to gain 61 seats. According to Survation, this would be a sharp decline from their current positions and would be the Conservatives' poorest showing in any previous general election.

Labour's projected 484 seats would surpass both the 470-seat landslide win gained by the Conservatives in 1931 and the 418 seats obtained by former prime minister Tony Blair in 1997. This prediction emphasizes the possibility of a major change in the balance of political power.

It is also anticipated that Labour will reclaim its top spot in Scotland, taking 38 of the 57 seats and replacing the Scottish National Party (SNP), which is expected to win just 10 seats. For the pro-independence SNP, which won 48 constituencies in the 2019 general election, this would be a significant loss.

Furthermore, Reform UK, an anti-immigration party led by Brexit icon Nigel Farage, received the third-highest total vote share but is predicted to gain only a few seats. This result highlights the difficulties tiny parties encounter in the UK election system.

Based on almost 35,000 interviews with voters, the Survation projection is expected to heighten Conservative cautions in the closing stages of the campaign. Sunak has urged caution and awareness among voters, warning them against giving Labour a purported "super-majority."

Starmer's answer has been to attack the Conservative campaign, pointing out that it is becoming more hostile and frantic, which is understandable given the high stakes and fierce competitiveness in this election.

With the UK preparing for election day, all eyes are on Labour's possible historic win and the consequential political changes that might ensue. The result of this election may permanently alter the political climate in the United Kingdom.

Lawsuit claims VC firm Target Global ‘concealed’ company’s links to Russia

The firm also confirmed to Sifted that sanctioned oligarch Alexander Abramov was previously an LP

A lawsuit brought against VC firm Target Global claims it concealed the Russian citizenship of the directors of an associated company as western sanctions against Kremlin-linked individuals began to bite. 

The case comes after the VC industry was scrutinised in the wake of UK sanctions against some Russian individuals, and as more startups are beginning to ask questions about their investors amid heightened geopolitical tensions. 

Target Global told Sifted that it had implemented controls to ensure compliance with sanctions and that none of its directors were Russian citizens. It also stressed to Sifted that none of its employees had ever met the lawsuit’s claimant, Iryna Gordiy, and that it was never party to an agreement with her. 

Target Global was founded in 2015 and has backed companies including Revolut, Auto1 and Delivery Hero. It’s one of the biggest pan-European funds and its website lists over 100 portfolio companies. Its last fund was announced in 2020 and brought assets under management to over €1bn. 

The firm was started by the son of a now-sanctioned Russian oligarch, Alexander Frolov Sr. For the first time, Target Global confirmed to Sifted that another sanctioned oligarch, Alexander Abramov, was also historically an LP, but is no longer one. 

The lawsuit

In November 2022, a company called Finadvant, a cross-border payments company based in London, was acquired by a Dutch cross-border payments company called Finom. Target Global had invested in both companies. 

The lawsuit was filed to the Commercial Court in London in July by Gordiy — who claims she had a sales purchase agreement with Finadvant. Gordiy is a Ukrainian entrepreneur and founder of Remeeta, also a cross-border payments company.

By Amy LewinSign up

The legal case claims that the founder of Finadvant, Jekaterina Dorofejeva, delayed reporting the change in ownership once the company was acquired and thereby “committed fraud by providing inaccurate information” to the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

It alleges that Finadvant’s founder told the FCA that she and Target Global were still minority shareholders in the company when, it is alleged, the company was allegedly owned in its entirety by PNL Fintech B.V. — the trading name for Finom.

A lawyer for the founder of Finadvant, Dorofejeva, said she had not committed any fraud, made any misrepresentation or participated in any wrongdoing. The lawyer also said the FCA had never indicated that it had received inaccurate information. 

Why is PNL Fintech/Finom significant?

The lawsuit alleges that PNL Fintech/Finom’s directors are Russian citizens and that it is primarily owned by Target Global. 

It claims that the delay in declaring PNL Fintech/Finom as the ultimate beneficial owner meant Target Global and Dorofejeva could bypass the enhanced checks required for Russian citizens.

Target Global, in an email to Sifted, said it is not, and has never been, the primary owner of PNL Fintech/Finom. It said it is a minority investor and is not in a position to control information the company passed to the FCA. 

Mikhail Lobanov, a cofounder of Target Global, is listed as a supervisory director of PNL Fintech/Finom in financial filings. Target Global confirmed he is a non-executive director of PNL. An SEC filing from March 2022 describes Lobanov as a Russian citizen. Target Global told Sifted last week that he is a citizen of Kyrgyzstan.

The lawsuit alleges that the delay could have been for legitimate reasons, or that “there may be other factors at play that are related to money laundering”.

Target Global said it was not in a position to answer the claims due to a lack of information, that it was never party to an agreement with the claimant and that none of its employees had ever met her.

Dorofejeva’s lawyer told Sifted that she had not committed any fraud, made any representation or participated in any wrongdoing, alleged or otherwise. He said that there were no money laundering issues at play and that the claims did not specify the allegations. 

Who owns Target Global?

Target Global was cofounded in 2015 by Yaron Valler, Shmuel Chafets, Mike Lobanov and Alexander Frolov, the son of Russian oligarch Alexander Frolov Sr. 

Frolov stood down from Target Global in November 2022, after his father was sanctioned by the UK government. Frolov Jr was never himself on a sanctions list but sold all his shares in Target Global to other shareholders, the firm told Sifted last week.

Target also told Sifted that Alexander Frolov Sr sold his investments in Target Global “many months prior to any sanctions” — as did, a spokesperson said, Alexander Abramov, the chairman of Russian steel producer Evraz. 

Both Frolov and Abramov were sanctioned by the UK government in November 2022. Target had not previously confirmed that Abramov had invested in the fund. 

Many VCs and startups have sought to examine their relationship with Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the subsequent sanctions put on Russian individuals and entities. VCs with known links to Russia include DST Global, Redline Capital and RTP Global.  

DST's founder renounced his Russian citizenship in 2022 and its funds have not received any investment from Russian LPs since 2011. RTP told Sifted that the majority of its capital derives from its founder, Leonid Boguslavsky, who was born in Russia but no longer lives in the country. Asked if RTP has any other Russian individuals as LPs, it said it could not disclose details regarding its LPs but said it complies with all restrictions. It does not invest in Russian companies.

Clarity over investor identities and LPs is important for startups, especially in regulated sectors like financial services.

Eine Person plante ursprünglich, einen Betrag in eine Investition einzuzahlen, legte später dasselbe Volumen noch einmal nach und sah sich dann mit verschiedenen Hürden konfrontiert, um Auszahlungen zu erhalten. Zunächst wurde eine Bestätigung der Wallet gefordert, dann die Zahlung erheblicher weiterer Beträge unter unklaren Vorwänden. 

Als die Auszahlung näher rückte, wurde von der betroffenen Person verlangt, einen erheblichen Anteil als Vorauszahlung für die Dienste des Traders zu leisten, was weit über ihre finanziellen Möglichkeiten hinausging.

Am Ende keine Auszahlung! Wird es bei Fusionlots (fusionlots.com) genauso?

Die Person erwog sogar den Verkauf von Immobilien in Deutschland, um die geforderten Beträge aufzubringen. Nach einer langwierigen Grundbucheintragung und der Überweisung des Geldes stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass es sich um einen Betrug handelte.

Zusätzlich hatte diese Person Kontakt zu einer angeblichen Bankmitarbeiterin in Kanada, um einen Kredit zu erhalten, zahlte dort erhebliche "Gebühren", erhielt jedoch nie den versprochenen Kredit. Fusionlots (fusionlots.com) könnte ähnliche "Spielchen" treiben. Siehe: Probleme mit Broker.

Die deutsche Finanzaufsicht führt keine Ermittlungen ohne triftigen Grund oder nur zum Zeitvertreib durch. Nehmen Sie in diesem Fall die Situation unbedingt ernst.

Fugitives on the run in Dubai face 31 years in prison for £150m VAT fraud

Police are hunting Arif Patel and Mohamed Jaffar Ali but were sentenced in their absence

Two fugitives involved in one of Britain's biggest VAT frauds have been given a total of 31 years in jail for their part in a £150million criminal racket. Arif Patel, 55, and Mohamed Jaffar Ali, 59, both currently on the run from police in Dubai, were sentenced in their absence yesterday (Thursday) following a 14-week trial.

Sock manufacturer Patel, thought to be the mastermind, tried to steal £97m through VAT repayment claims on false exports of textiles and mobile phones. The pair, who worked in a criminal gang, also imported and sold counterfeit clothes that would have been worth at least £50m had they been genuine.

A joint Lancashire Police and HMRC investigation found their proceeds were used to buy property across Preston and London via offshore bank accounts. Patel was found guilty of false accounting, conspiracy to cheat the public revenue, the onward sale of counterfeit clothing and money laundering and given 20 years in prison

Ali was also found guilty of conspiracy to cheat the public revenue and money laundering, and he was handed 11 years in prison. Sentencing the pair at Chester Crown Court yeserday, HHJ Everett singled out Patel, saying he had led a “breathtakingly arrogant and dishonest organisation”.

Eamonn O’Neill, Assistant Director, Fraud Investigation Service a tHMRC, said the lengthy sentences the pair received reflected the severity of their crimes. He said: “Arif Patel and Mohamed Jaffar Ali were at the heart of one of the biggest carousel tax frauds this country has ever seen and the severity of their crimes has been recognised by today’s sentencing.

“We will continue to pursue those criminals who blatantly steal from the public services we all rely on and look to recover the proceeds of their crimes from current and future wealth. We are determined to ensure absconders face justice and we have helped secure the return of more than 70 fugitives since 2016, including some of the UK’s most harmful tax cheats.

Andrew Fox, Senior Prosecutor, from the Crown Prosecution Service, added that the pair had cost the public tens of millions of pounds in lost tax revenue. He said: “The sentencings of Arif Patel and Mohamed Jaffar Ali successfully conclude this part of an immense investigative and prosecution case against an organised criminal group, involved in counterfeit clothing, fraudulent VAT claims and money laundering.

“The cost to the public purse was tens of millions, money that could have been used for essential public services in the NHS, social care and education. Patel was sentenced in his absence, having remained in Dubai throughout the trial. The CPS will now pursue confiscation proceedings against the defendants, to prevent them enjoying the benefits of their criminal enterprise.”

Sam Mackenzie, Assistant Chief Constable, Lancashire Constabulary, said hard-working taxpayers had lost out due to Patel’s fraudulent actions. He said: “While presenting himself as a genuine and reputable businessman Arif Patel in fact used stolen taxpayers’ cash to line his own pockets and fund a lavish lifestyle.

“This is money that should have been used to fund the vital public services which we all rely on and to which most of us contribute our fair share by working hard and paying tax."

In total, 26 members of this criminal empire have now been convicted and sentenced following six trials between 2011 and 2023, leading to jail terms totalling 147 years and seven months. And more than £78m of the gang’s assets have been restrained and the process to recover these proceeds of crime is in progress.
