Honestly the web is that tangled that it's hard to keep track of. The company names being so similar doesn't help either. I'm sure they did it that way deliberately: John Bridgeman Trading House, John Bridgeman Financial Group, John Bridgeman Limited.

I believe HML is meant to owe "brokerage fees" to one of the companies under the JBFG umbrella (possibly JBTH?) for all of the "trading" that HML was supposedly doing. However given the incestuous and highly questionable nature of all the transactions the liquidators could also take the position that HML conveniently (for them) owes nothing.
