A MAN has been told to pay back more than £200,000 to investors who bought into a land-banking scheme that didn’t happen.
Aaron Walker, 30, of The Parkway, Canvey, could face personal bankruptcy after defying a High Court order to hand over £203,100.
The Financial Services Authority has issued a public notice, warning Mr Walker to pay up or face bankruptcy. Mr Walker runs Cityshore Commodities, a firm which sold small plots of land as investments with claims they were likely to get planning permission and therefore increase in value. The firm made more than £400,000 in sales and profits, but should have been authorised by the FSA.
