In this episode, we investigate Tony Hughes, a recurring figure in several high-profile unregulated loan note schemes that have left loan note holders out of pocket and searching for answers.

We cover:

  • Tony Hughes’s directorships and shareholding roles in Platinum Assets & Developments Limited
  • His earlier involvement with High Street Group, one of the UK’s most notorious investment collapses
  • The role of Castle Trust & Management Services as security trustee across multiple schemes
  • Overlaps with other familiar names, including William Jackson, Sonali Craddock, and New Capital Link
  • Concerns raised by loan note holders who still haven’t received redemptions
  • Deleted promotional blogs, disappearing directors, and a trail of repeated patterns
  • And the central question: Why do the same people and sales tactics appear again and again in failed schemes?

If you’ve invested in Platinum, High Street Group, or any scheme promoted by New Capital Link, this episode connects the dots that others won’t. Share your experience or raise concerns:
