FINANCIAL FRAUDSTER NEWS INVESTIGATIONS: STOP THE STEAL! They LIED about the £3k claim. They LIED about the prisoner. The whole thing is a HOAX! SAD!

SOUTH DAKOTA, USA - LONDON, UK – It’s a total and complete disgrace. What we have just witnessed at the Central London County Court is not justice; it's a RIGGED GAME.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has obtained the complete case file following the infamous 12 November hearing. A "Magic Circle" law firm, Freshfields LLP, has successfully used a "procedural ambush" and what can only be described as "SECRET EVIDENCE" to get a UK judge to STEAL a £6 million+ asset from a US-based company, South Dakota's Gottlieb Cohen Foundation.
The court's own documents prove this entire proceeding was a HOAX, built on a house of cards that the judge, HHJ Parfitt, knew was false. He "considered" the evidence and then proceeded to ignore all of it.
This wasn't a hearing. It was a pre-ordained theft.
1. The "Procedural Ambush" – A Rigged Hearing!
This was a setup from the start. The swamp is deep.
On 10 November, HHJ Bloom issued an order for a complex 3-HOUR hearing to take place on 12 November. This gave the American victims less than 48 hours to instruct lawyers from overseas and respond to hundreds of pages of evidence. A "procedural impossibility."
But it gets worse. The court's own Notice of Hearing (N244A) for this same case (Tab 2) clearly states that bundles must be lodged "no earlier than 7 working days before the hearing".
HHJ Bloom's order was in DIRECT VIOLATION of the court's own rules!
When the US-based Claimant (Capitana) and the Defendant's Agent (PCP) saw they were being ambushed, they emailed the court, begging for an adjournment and explaining they were being denied their right to be heard.
What did HHJ Parfitt do? His own order (Order #2) admits he saw their request and "dismissed" it. He then held the hearing anyway, with NOBODY there to oppose Freshfields. A total sham.
2. They LIED About the Prisoner! (A FAKE ABUSE CLAIM!)
Freshfields' entire case—the one the judge "rubber-stamped"—was that the claim was an "abuse of process" and a "nullity" . Why? Because they LIED and said it was filed by Mr. Lionel Godfrey-Collins (LGC) [Not his real name] in breach of a Civil Proceedings Order (CPO) .
The judge called LGC's defense "incredible."
THE TRUTH: HHJ Parfitt had the LGC Witness Statement (Tab 18) right in front of him . It contained a SWORN ALIBI that Freshfields and the judge simply decided to "ignore":
Mr. Godfrey-Collins was IN PRISON when the claim was filed (Dec 2023) and when the first consent order was sealed (Nov 2024). He was incarcerated from 2013 until March 2025 .
The claim was not filed by LGC. The Claim Form (Tab 19) clearly shows it was signed by a US lawyer, "X Davidson (Asst Gen Counsel)" .
This wasn't an oversight. It was a LIE. The judge "considered" a sworn witness statement containing a verifiable alibi and chose to believe the lie instead.
3. They LIED About the £3k Claim! (A FAKE JURISDICTION ARGUMENT!)
Freshfields' second big lie was that the County Court "never had the legal authority" to hear the case because it was about a £6M+ property, and the court's limit is only £350k .
HHJ Parfitt agreed, ruling the claim was "made without jurisdiction" .
THE TRUTH: This is a flagrant deception. The judge had the Claim Form (Tab 19). It clearly states the "Amount claimed" is £3,000.00.
The claim was a VALID £3k CLAIM. The court had total jurisdiction to hear it. The fact that the parties agreed to a consent order to return the property (the lawful remedy) does not change the jurisdiction of the original claim.
The judge "considered" the £3k claim form and then lied in his own order, claiming it was a £6M+ claim. SAD!
4. The "SECRET EVIDENCE" Used to Steal the Asset!
This is the most corrupt part. How did the judge ignore all this evidence? By using SECRET EVIDENCE introduced by Freshfields at the 11th hour, which the victims were "blocked from attending" to rebut.
HHJ Parfitt's order admits he relied on this:
And on considering **correspondence from solicitors for the State of Libya dated 12 November 2025**...
This "secret letter" (from Freshfields' allies at SPB) was used to "prove" the Defendant's agent (PCP) had no authority.
THE TRUTH: The judge already had the evidence that PROVED PCP's authority. He "considered" but IGNORED:
The 2010 Power of Attorney (Tab 4): A notarized POA from "THE STATE OF LIBYA," signed by Muammar Al-Qaddafi, giving PCP the power "to... confess, compromise or settle all claims" .
The 2016 DDJ Emerson Order (Tab 10): A previous UK court order that already ruled on this exact POA, stating the court was "satisfied that no evidence exists of any revocation" .
HHJ Parfitt ignored his own court's binding legal history and chose to believe a "secret," unrebutted letter instead.
This is a TOTAL DISGRACE. This wasn't a hearing. It was a collusive, bad-faith "procedural ambush" between a "Magic Circle" firm and a complicit court. They lied, they cheated, and they STOLE a £6M+ asset from a US company.
