In this episode, we take you inside the troubled world of Halcyon Retreat, the luxury French resort investment that promised prestige and steady returns, but left many loan note holders waiting for payments that never came.

You’ll learn:

  • The history of Château de la Cazine and its role in the Halcyon Retreat project
  • The network of companies behind the scheme and the key individuals involved
  • Why the Security Trustee arrangement may not provide the protection investors expect
  • Details of the recent large-scale police raid on the property
  • The financial red flags, including winding-up petitions and balance-sheet insolvency
  • What these developments mean for anyone considering, or already holding, Halcyon-related investments

This is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the risks of unregulated loan notes and complex overseas property schemes.
