For the old posters who remember and for the many related companies at same address or with links to solar install etc .

The scale of this and celebrity retired cricketers across many nations it is going to have affected a lot of people IMO

AFR earlier ( June 2020) reported regarding co-op and money raised ( not sure if it ever was due to high number ) "Mr Vippond said Lotus, a registered co-operative with more than 100 members that is debt free, had raised $US50 million of funding through Canadian firm DigiMax Global Solutions"

some quotes below from recent article - Cricket mad mate tells me there is a news report of cricketers all talking about loss and trying to get $ back so if someone can find transcript it would be good.

Gower, 61, said he invested the money in Lotus Co-Op in 2018 but has seen no return on his investment.

Lotus raised £3million to install “community-owned clean energy generator storage networks” and claimed it had signed a £27billion renewable energy contract in Ethiopia.

Another Englandcricketer, Adam Hollioake, also invested, as did Aussie stars Brad Hodge and Greg Matthews.

Co-founder Ian McBain denied lying to investors, adding: “No, it’s not something I do.”

Asked where the money had gone, he blamed Vippond and said: “It’s all been expended”.
