Book Description
From November 2012, for eleven months I was employed as the CEO by a new company called Euro Forex Investment Ltd (EFIL). It was the UK subsidiary of a private Asian business whose official name was Euro Fx. Being quite a mouthful to say, the name, "Euro Forex Investments Limited" was often shortened to "Euro Fx" by the Asian executives, both verbally and on literature. It was this seemingly innocuous, but deliberate, abbreviation that was to have dire consequences later. After leaving the company it was revealed that the whole set up had been a scam, fleecing billions of dollars from unsuspecting victims, and I had been set up as the "fall guy". Whilst visiting Shanghai in 2016, I was arrested; accused of being one of the orchestrators, and placed under arrest. Facing a possible death penalty or many years in jail, a mission of discovery to prove my innocence began.
