Both celebrities are among the creditors owed around £20 million after the company went bankrupt.
According to UK Outlet The Sun, liquidators have warned that investors are unlikely to recover their full funds after the firm rejected a claw-back cash option via a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). The liquidator said:
“We are unable to definitely say the proposal strikes the balance between the interests of the company and the creditors, as there has been limited disclosure of the assets of the director and his family.”
“Our view is that this CVA is highly speculative. Creditors should be aware that there may be little return.”
