Sounds like a typical Ponzi scheme.
So many of these chancers around especially on social media.

The police finally caught up with him...

Imagine how much he took from those he didn’t bother reporting him!
Pity they never seized his assets as well.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

VIMAL POPAT is a CONMAN.Originally Posted by Anne81
This cruel man took thousands off me, purporting to be a Foreign Exchange Trader. A confidence trickster, praying on honest people and taking them for all their savings. His callous nature is sickening.
He also PIMPED himself to get money off vulnerable women.
I hope in the future anyone who comes into contact with him, will do some research and stay away from him.
ROT IN HELL.
Get a paper trail going.
It's possible that this will end up in front of a judge so she'll need as much useful paper as possible.
You say there have been emails...that's good. If there are emails that establish that this was an investment, and not a loan or gift, and that he acknowledges it as such, so much the better.
Try and make all emails sound courteous and reasonable. Write everything with the view that a judge will see it one day. They don't like threats and obscene language. Suggest reasonable steps to help him pay her back. A payment plan for instance. It will all look good.
If she can afford a private investigator then they can probably find you a current address, so you can serve him papers if need be.
The courts are WAY behind right now, and judges are being lenient on debtors if they can prove that their circumstances are Covid related. But many who can pay are using that as an excuse. So check Facebook etc...people are careless on social media and often post pics of their new cars...then copy it/note it down, and email him with it as evidence that he can pay but is choosing not to.
She'll need to be very tenacious and I'm sure it's not going to be easy, but it's the way to get at least some of it back.
hes been sentenced. No one will get anything back.

just have to write the loss off and get on with life. Lesson learned and all that!
