There were many twists and turns in the six week investigation that culminated this morning in The Times’ exposéof Sefton Resources’ (SER) former Executive Chairman, Daniel Levi, as a convicted armed robber. Revealed by Sefton to have kept his former name David John Hopkins a secret, this was the catalyst for the hunt to discover what Levi had been so desperate to hide for so long. Below I share what I can of the evidence that primary research uncovered.

This will prove a double blow for Chris Oil, I’m sure this is all new to him. Chris Oil’s lofty aspirations at taking hold of the reins at Sefton will be gone forever.

I think any chance of a re-union between SP and Levi/Oil are blown forever.

Maybe Chris is Dan/David’s bitch… unpleasant prison practices / pastimes and all that ;)

…or maybe not lol, Dan has clearly (& understandably) buried his past and misled others on his suitability as a director. Dan will have to pay the consequences for that and Chris, if he’s got any sense, should sever any business relationship with him.

The company has tonight stated that “The Board can categorically state that neither the Company nor its advisers had any prior knowledge of Mr Levi’s criminal record. When his change of name came to the attention of the board it was announced by Sefton, on 23 April 2015”

So 3 months ago the board knew his real name and knew he had previously failed to disclose it i.e. he had lied and yet it didn’t dig any deeper to discover he had been in prison for 16 years for armed robbery and threatening the police with a machine gun. So what sort of diligence, if any, did the board do, once it knew it’s executive Chairman was a liar using an assumed name?

You couldn’t make this up. Clem Chambers is up to his neck in this, the oily little shit.
